Garage Sale
The final Phantom Targets Part 2 challenge asks players to deal 100 damage to a flying ARC machine with a crafted Fireworks Box. In ARC Raiders, this sounds easy, but moving targets can make fireworks unreliable. A box placed at the wrong distance or angle may do very little damage.
This is especially frustrating when you are trying to conserve ARC Raiders BluePrints and event materials. Instead of wasting runs through trial and error, you can use a controlled setup that makes the challenge much easier.
Ground a Firefly or Hornet
The safest method is to find a Firefly or Hornet and disable two of its thrusters or engines. Do not destroy the ARC. Once enough propulsion is disabled, it will fall to the ground.
A grounded flying ARC gives you much more control and removes the biggest problem with the challenge: unpredictable movement.
After it falls, deploy a Barricade Kit beside it and face the barricade toward the enemy. Place your Fireworks Box low on the wall and aim it directly at the ARC.
Do not put the box directly against the target. Fireworks can perform poorly at point-blank range, so leaving some distance is important.
Trigger the Fireworks
Once the box is positioned correctly, move away and shoot it to activate the fireworks. A well-positioned Hornet can take a large amount of damage from one box, so you may only need one or two boxes to reach the 100-damage requirement.
The main advantage of this method is consistency. You are controlling both the target's position and the fireworks' angle instead of trying to predict where a flying ARC will move.
Try the Wasp Choke Point
If you already have more event equipment, you can use Glitched Wasps instead. Bring two or three Fireworks Boxes, two or three Snitch Scanners, and one or two Lure Grenades.
Look for an enclosed location such as the area beneath the Spaceport launch towers, a Riven Tides stairwell, or the southern Testing Annex stairwell.
Place the Fireworks Boxes along the walls or near the top of the stairs. Then deploy the Snitch Scanners in the middle of the choke point to encourage Glitched Wasps to appear.
When the Wasps arrive, throw a Lure Grenade into the confined area. Wait until several enemies are grouped together, then trigger the fireworks. Multiple Wasps can take damage from the same activation, allowing you to reach the required total quickly.
Avoid Wasting Crafting Materials
The biggest mistake is crafting several Fireworks Boxes and testing random positions. Choose your strategy before entering the run and prepare only what you need.
If you still need Glitched Wasp drops, you can also combine this challenge with other event objectives around Blue Gate or Dam Battlegrounds. This saves you from making separate farming runs.
For players who want to spend less time gathering optional resources between event activities, the ability to buy ARC Raiders Coins can provide another way to manage their broader progression needs.
Finish Stage 6 Efficiently
The fireworks challenge becomes much easier once you stop chasing moving targets. Grounding a Firefly or Hornet is the safest option, while the Wasp choke point is better for players who want a faster multi-target setup.Prepare the position first, keep the enemy contained, and only then trigger the Fireworks Box. This simple change can save valuable materials and help you complete the final Phantom Targets requirement without wasting additional runs.
