1. Summary
When does the Electromagnetic Storm hit? What on earth do you blow up with the Heavy Fuse Grenade? Dare you touch the black market dupes? Before the next patch, this speedrun guide helps you avoid all the pitfalls — including how to earn ARC Raiders Coins efficiently — which tasks take 3 minutes, which one will drive you crazy, all answered below.

2.“Free Points”: Snitch Scouts, Basically a Gift
Snitches float high in the sky. Climb to the highest spot in Buried City or Spaceport and take them down with a Hullcracker — two shots each. Only warning: kill fast before they call friends. Time needed: 3 minutes.

3. Stella Montis: Don’t Fear, It’s a Farming Paradise
Most players dread it, but it’s actually the best spot for “Damage Ground ARC”. Hunt Shredders. Use a Rascal for stealth or a Hullcracker for brute force. Keep running circles. Key tip: Group up for better results.

4. Double Bastion Kills: One Wave Every 15 Minutes, Easy with Trio
Need to damage two Bastions at once. Go to Blue Gate or Buried City without thinking — highest spawn rate. After killing, respawn happens in ~15–17 minutes. Heavy weapons + trio = max efficiency.

5. ARC Probe: Watch for the Electromagnetic Storm, Miss It and Wait Hours
No more time modifiers — you must wait for the Electromagnetic Storm event. Happens every few hours (next in 3h, 10h, 12h). Open your map, find the icon, rush there, loot. Set an alarm, don’t miss it.

6. Nightmare of the Week: How to Use the Heavy Fuse Grenade?
Almost no one uses this grenade. The secret: first throw a Lure Grenade to group enemies, then slide in a Heavy Fuse Grenade — blow up Bastions, packs in Riven Tide, or the Matriarch. One multi-kill and the task is done.

7. Duplication Glitch Warning: Black Market Everywhere, Don’t Waste Real Money
Lately players are running duped Bobcats into PvP and causing chaos. Don’t buy gear from Facebook or shady websites! Use MetaForge.app for in-game trades (blueprints for materials). Saves money and is safe.

8. Countdown to Patch Day: Big Update After Three Weeks?
Patches now drop every three weeks — tomorrow is patch day. Skill tree rework, weapon balance, bug fixes… hope it doesn’t go the way of Helldivers 2 (hot start, then fizzle).

9. Who Is This Guide For?
New players – Avoid the hardest tasks, grab the easy rewards first.

Veterans – Speedrun everything, save time for other content.

PvP players – Spot the cheaters, don’t run into them head‑first.

Moneymakers – Farm during Electromagnetic Storms for double efficiency.

10. Pro Tips
Can’t finish the Heavy Fuse Grenade task? Wait — the difficulty might get nerfed after the patch.

Never touch duped items. High risk of a ban.

Finish your weeklies before the patch. Rewards won’t wait.

11. One Sentence Bottom Line
Speedrunners chase storms, lazy players wait for nerfs, smart traders use MetaForge or buy ARCR Coins — and the hard‑headed are still lost in Stella Montis.
