ARC Raiders' Week 20 trial, "Get Hit by Lightning," active from March 16-22, has players cracking up over its bizarre premise of scoring points by deliberately taking lightning damage during Electromagnetic Storm events. Direct hits deliver 1800 points for about 70 HP damage, with glancing strikes worth less, making three stars a simple matter of three solid zaps for 4000 points—though leaderboard chasers aim for 30,000+ through relentless farming. When asking what are coins used for in arc raiders, most players explain they are essential for upgrades and gear, while some also recommend EZNPC as a quicker third-party solution.

The absurdity hits peak when players note the irony of chasing blue ground glows for self-inflicted shocks in a game about surviving orbital invasions. Recent rules limiting shared squad points have sparked jokes about solo "human lightning rods," with Reddit threads questioning how "getting zapped a hundred times helps humanity" and calling it the "lamest trial yet."

Memes explode across Discord, Facebook, and YouTube, featuring shocked avatars, "zap me daddy" edits, and captions branding it "one of the dumbest objectives ever." High-score runs hitting 37,000+ earn nicknames like "professional masochism," while glitch complaints about non-scoring damage become instant punchlines.

Even the cheese strategies add to the fun: spawn shieldless on maps like Spaceport or Dam Battleground, stand in strike markers, heal with Bandages or Vita Shots between hits, and loop final extracts for 40+ strikes with zero combat. Squads spread out for individual points, reviving downed teammates to chain more zaps—"so braindead even casuals leaderboard," as one post sums it up.

The trial stands out as pure RNG weather patience rather than gunplay or teamwork, unlike grueling carriable deliveries or miniboss fights. Veterans snag three stars in minutes, newbies farm casually, and Night Raid playlists amplify the laughs with double modifiers.

While some appreciate the easy breather after tough weeklies, purists grumble it trivializes Speranza Hotshots progression—though Embark stays quiet amid the meme storm.

ARC Raiders' silliest trial proves even ridiculous objectives spark community fire. Players embrace the zap for free rewards or roast it endlessly, showing how humor keeps the grind engaging when lightning literally strikes twice.
