ARC Raiders Trials Season 6 began on October 8, 2026, with the Maestro Outfit as its headline competitive reward. Players can also unlock its Yellow colour through Hotshot rank and its Red colour through Cantina Legend. This season adds themed cosmetics and a fresh selection of weekly objectives involving the Frozen Trail update.
There’s a lot more to earning Maestro than picking up a cosmetic from a pass. Trials are about completing weekly challenges, posting scores and progressing through the competitive ranking system. You’ll encounter Skulker Turrets, Bully Cluster Grenades, Pendola Pass scavenging and weapon-based ARC tasks, with blueprints and equipment among the weekly prizes.
ARC Raiders Trials Season 6 start date and end date
| Item | Confirmed detail |
|---|---|
| Season start | October 8, 2026 |
| End date currently on Embark’s official page | January 12, 2027 |
| Headline cosmetic | Maestro Outfit |
| Yellow colour | Hotshot rank |
| Red colour | Cantina Legend rank |
Earlier information gave November 16, 2026 as the end date. Embark’s live Trials Season 6 announcement now says January 12, 2027. The date appears to have changed, so use the current in-game countdown if you need to plan a final ranking push.
How to unlock the Maestro Outfit in ARC Raiders Trials Season 6
- Open the Trials menu in ARC Raiders.
- Review the available weekly objectives and their scoring requirements.
- Complete qualifying actions during raids to earn your weekly Trials score.
- Check your position in the competitive ranking system and the available seasonal rewards.
- Continue competing through Season 6 to work towards Maestro and its colour variants.
The Maestro Outfit belongs to ARC Raiders Trials Season 6, not the separate Frozen Trail Reward Pass. Embark names the outfit as the season’s grand prize, but the public announcement does not give a verified numerical points threshold for the base outfit. The live Trials reward screen is the place to check your exact standing and what remains to unlock.
Maestro Yellow and Red: which ranks do you need?
| Cosmetic | Verified requirement |
|---|---|
| Maestro Outfit | Season 6 competitive reward; inspect the live reward track for its exact rank threshold |
| Yellow Maestro | Hotshot rank |
| Red Maestro | Cantina Legend rank |
The Yellow and Red styles are tied to reaching named competitive ranks, not finishing a particular Pendola Pass quest. If you want both styles, focus on the ARC Raiders Trials Season 6 rankings and check how close you are to Hotshot and Cantina Legend after each weekly scoring cycle.
All confirmed ARC Raiders Trials Season 6 cosmetic rewards
Embark also lists the Sheriff Badge backpack charm, Infrared Transmitter attachment, Pumped Dance emote and Pop Helmet Scrappy Outfit. They aren’t interchangeable rewards. The Sheriff Badge attaches to your backpack, Pumped Dance is an emote and Pop Helmet changes Scrappy’s appearance.
A complete numerical rank-by-rank unlock table for those items hasn’t been confirmed in the public developer notice. It would be misleading to assign a precise leaderboard score to every reward. Check the individual cosmetic preview inside ARC Raiders Trials Season 6 before deciding which weekly objectives to prioritise.
How weekly Trials scores and ranks work
Open the Trials screen to see the currently active objectives, the actions that contribute to scoring and the leaderboard. Your performance during eligible raids helps determine your weekly result and your progress through the seasonal ranking system. The challenge pool changes, so a task shown in the announcement may not be playable during every week.
For ARC Raiders Trials Season 6, the public announcement confirms the season and reward types but doesn’t supply a dependable fixed score-to-rank chart for every division. Scores, thresholds and the available objectives should be read from the game interface rather than copied from an older season.
Season 6 challenges: Skulker Turrets and Bully grenades
One new objective asks you to damage enemies with Skulker Turrets. Another involves Bully Cluster Grenades. Bring or obtain the relevant equipment before attempting those tasks and read whether your active objective requires damage, a successful hit or a particular target. Merely carrying the gear may not earn points.
These are new challenge types confirmed for ARC Raiders Trials Season 6, not evidence that they’re both in the current weekly rotation. If neither appears on your Trials screen, the task may be scheduled for another week. Don’t waste equipment farming a challenge that isn’t active.
Pendola Pass hotspots and weapon-based ARC objectives
Pendola Pass scavenging challenges send players to hotspot areas on the Frozen Trail map. The season also introduces objectives centred on fighting ARC with particular weapons. For Pendola Pass, follow the active hotspot wording and plan an extraction route; for a weapon task, match your loadout to the required weapon class and ARC targets.
The exact point values and named hotspots can differ by challenge. ARC Raiders Trials Season 6 does not have one permanent list of weekly objectives that can all be completed on October 13. Check the active task list before deploying and avoid treating future challenge examples as live objectives.
How to earn all the Season 6 rewards
Weekly objectives can award blueprints and equipment, while seasonal competitive rewards include Maestro and the other announced cosmetics. Work on the tasks that match your available equipment first, then consider more difficult challenges if you’re trying to climb. Efficient scoring matters more than forcing the same activity in every raid.
Before each weekly reset in ARC Raiders Trials Season 6, check your pending objectives and the reward panel. Completing a weekly blueprint challenge does not automatically award the Red Maestro style; that colour still requires Cantina Legend rank. Conversely, the cosmetics aren’t purchased using Frozen Trail Reward Pass points.
Trials Season 6 versus Frozen Trail Reward Pass
Frozen Trail’s Reward Pass and Trials are different progression systems. The Reward Pass has its own unlocks, while ARC Raiders Trials Season 6 uses competitive ranks, rotating weekly tasks and the Maestro reward pool. You can participate in both, but progress in one should not be mistaken for rewards earned in the other.
If you’ve returned for the October Frozen Trail update, open both menus. Use the Reward Pass for its track and the Trials panel for weekly scoring, rank placement and Maestro requirements. That will keep your time and resources pointed at the reward you’re actually trying to unlock.
Can you unlock Maestro after Season 6 finishes?
Embark has not promised a later shop release for Maestro or its seasonal colour variants. Treat these as ARC Raiders Trials Season 6 rewards and work towards them while the season is active. The current official page says January 12, 2027; verify the live game timer as that date approaches.
If Maestro is the goal, the simplest routine is to check Trials each week, choose realistic challenges, gather any available blueprint or equipment rewards and keep watching the named Hotshot and Cantina Legend rank milestones.
