So the Rocketeer snowball trial in ARC Raiders? Yeah, it's about as fun as getting your teeth pulled. These flying jerks are already some of the most annoying enemies in the game, and now we're supposed to hit them with snowballs for a challenge? Come on.
But hey, if you're a completionist like me, you're gonna want those three stars. The trick is timing and patience. Lots and lots of patience. Rocketeers have this annoying habit of zooming around unpredictably, making them harder to hit than your friend who mains Tracer in Overwatch. Your best bet is to wait until they hover in place to line up their rocket attacks. That's your window.
Here's what actually works: grab a stack of snowballs before you even spot a Rocketeer. I'm talking at least 20-30 of them. Trust me on this. When you find one, don't just start chucking snowballs like a maniac. Lead your shots way more than you think you need to. These snowballs arc like crazy, and Rocketeers move faster than they look.
The three-star requirement seems to be landing 5 hits within 60 seconds. Honestly? It took me about eight tries to get it right. Pro tip: the snowballs do zero damage, so bring actual weapons to finish the job once you've completed the challenge. Nothing worse than nailing all those snowball hits just to get blasted because you forgot to pack heat.
Is this trial worth the hassle? That's up to you. But if you're trying to 100% everything in ARC Raiders, you're gonna have to embrace the suck and start throwing.
