Arc Raiders: Snowball to Rocketeer Challenge Solo Guide (44,000 Points Earned)
This video explains how to solo play in Arc Raiders to earn high scores by throwing snowballs at Rocketeers. It provides detailed guidance on two strategies depending on whether or not you have a Show Stopper, map selection, equipment, location selection, and attack methods.
1. ❄️ Snowball Farming Strategy: Efficient Challenge Prep
- ✅ Before starting the challenge, it's recommended to farm enough snowballs in advance to fill your inventory.
- ✅ It takes about 10 minutes to fill about 100 snowballs based on the MK2 bag (about 15 minutes including thawing time).
- ✅ You can save time by finding and moving between multiple snow piles to farm.
- ⚠️ Avoid farming snowballs during the challenge as it is a waste of time.

2. 🛠️ Equipment Selection Guide: Show Stopper & Heavy Weapon Usage
- ✅ Show Stopper: Useful for disabling Rocketeers, but you may need several, so prepare enough.
- ✅ Heavy Weapons (Anvil, Renegade): If you don't have a Show Stopper, it's effective for destroying the Rocketeer's thrusters.
- ✅ Healing Items: It is recommended to bring healing items in preparation for the Rocketeer's attacks.

3. 🗺️ Optimal Map & Location Selection: Why Blue Gate is Recommended
- ✅ Challenges can be carried out on maps with Cold Snap.
- ⚠️ It is best to avoid Buried City as there are few Rocketeers and they are at risk of being destroyed by other Raiders.
- ✅ Blue Gate: There are 3-4 Rocketeers, which is advantageous for the challenge.

4. 🎯 Show Stopper Usage Strategy: Rocketeer Neutralization & Snowball Throwing
- ✅ Secure cover near the area where the Rocketeer patrols.
- ✅ Eliminate other enemies around you first, then lure the Rocketeer.
- ✅ Use the Show Stopper to disable the Rocketeer and turn it upside down.
- ⚠️ Even if the Rocketeer is upside down, it can still fire rockets from the front, so it is safer to be behind it.
- ✅ Throw snowballs at the disabled Rocketeer as quickly as possible to earn points.

5. 🔄 Additional Snowball Farming & Second Rocketeer Attack
- ✅ If you have used up all your snowballs, farm snowballs again in the area where the Rocketeer patrols.
- ✅ Lure the second Rocketeer and attack it in the same way as the first.
- ✅ Blue Gate's village house is recommended, and use the escape Raider hatch.

6. 💥 Strategy Without Show Stopper: Thruster Destruction & Building Use
- ✅ Thruster Destruction: Use Anvil or Renegade to destroy the two front thrusters of the Rocketeer.
- ⚠️ Be careful as attacking other parts than the thrusters may cause an explosion.
- ✅ Building Use: Use the two exits of a small building to attack the thrusters while avoiding the Rocketeer's attacks.
- ✅ After destroying the thrusters, throw snowballs at the disabled Rocketeer to earn points.
- ✅ Use the Raider hatch to escape at the last moment.
