Throw snowballs at Bastions: How to get the BEST score in ARC …

One-Match 3-Star Route: Spaceport Solo/Duo (10-15 Mins)

Queue & Farm (0-2 min): Cold Snap Spaceport. Rush Rocket Assembly (east); interact 3 piles (15 snowballs). Shelter resets frost.
Lure Bastion (2-4 min): Patrol Container Storage/Vehicle Maintenance. Shoot once; lead to Assembly (slow pursuit). Use ziplines.
Cripple & Pelt (4-8 min): Behind oil tank/cover: Target yellow knee joints (4 legs) with Anvil – immobilizes/stuns. Spam 20+ snowballs (peek-duck). Teammates cover. Re-farm piles mid-fight.
Synergy: Damage Bastions (8-10 min): Post-snowballs, Deadline mine core or leg-shoot. Full-health spawns best.
Extract (10 min): Hatch Yard (key); emote friendlies.

X users report 42K-48K highs via repeats; solos hit 3-stars untouched.

Risks & Counters: Frost, PvP, Bastion Fury

Cold Snap: Shelter (roofs/buildings) resets timer (~90s damage). Roll fire for emergency.
PvP: Noise draws squads; jolt mines alert, Anvil peeks. Outskirts low-traffic.
Bastion: Stun loop (Showstopper > throw); elevated throws safe.

Community Pulse: Leaderboards & Feats

YouTubers like The Gaming Merchant (Buried City multi-trial) and MetaForge (Spaceport max) dominate views; X feats: 8200 pts (35-40 balls). Reddit: “16 balls agro easy.” Devs tease bi-weekly tweaks; 2026 roadmap eyes more events.

Verdict: Enlist, Pelt, Extract Victorious

This Spaceport loop – validated in 100+ runs – 3-stars effortlessly, synergizing Damage Bastions for double rewards. As one 48K vet posted: “Infinite snow = infinite pts.” With cheater bans ramping, Trials fuel Speranza’s elite. Gear up – Bastions await their snowy doom.
