The Scorta is the headline reward of Arc Raiders Trials Season 5, a heavy, juggernaut-style armor set that Embark Studios hands out for climbing the weekly Trials ranks. There is no store price and no code to enter. You earn it by playing raids and scoring Trials points, then crossing the right rank threshold before the season ends.
Quick answer: Complete weekly Trials during Season 5 and reach the Tryhard II rank to unlock the base Scorta outfit for free. Higher ranks add variants, an emote, backpack items, and the exclusive Blue and Red color options.
Season 5 dates and the rank you need for the Scorta
Trials Season 5 started on July 7, 2026 at 12:00 UTC and runs for roughly 12 weeks. It ends on September 30, 2026 at 07:00 UTC. Everything you earn is tied to your final placement, so you have the full window to keep pushing your rank higher.
The base Scorta outfit unlocks the moment you hit Tryhard II. That is the only requirement for the core skin. The extra pieces, toggles, and colors are gated behind the ranks above it, all the way up to Cantina Legend, which is reserved for the top 1,000 Raiders.
Every Scorta reward by Trials rank
Rewards stack as you climb. Reaching a higher rank keeps everything from the tiers below and adds the new items listed for that tier. Here is what unlocks at each step.
| Rank | New unlock at this tier |
|---|---|
| Rookie III | Pressure Gauge backpack charm |
| Tryhard I | “You Come at Me” emote |
| Tryhard II | Base Scorta outfit |
| Tryhard III | Sleeves and Mask variants |
| Wildcard I | Tech Box, Pauldron, Helmet, and Bells variants |
| Wildcard II | Additional Helmet variants |
| Wildcard III | Armor variant |
| Daredevil III | Hydraulic Pump backpack attachment |
| Hotshot | Blue Scorta color |
| Cantina Legend (Top 1000) | Red Scorta color |
The Red and Blue colors are the chase items. Both sit at the very top of the ladder, so most players will finish the season with the base set and a handful of variants. The Green Bruiser backpack rounds out the season’s cosmetic haul alongside the emote and charm.
How to earn Trials points before the season ends
Rank comes from Trials points, which you bank by completing the objectives that rotate every week. There is no shortcut. You raid, hit the listed challenge conditions, and your total pushes you up the tiers. Consistency matters more than a single big session because the objectives refresh weekly.
Season 5 changed the challenge mix, and it directly affects how you should load out. Instead of only asking you to damage a specific ARC, several challenges now require you to damage certain ARC types with specific weapons. You cannot lean on one comfort gun for everything, so keep a few different weapons crafted and ready.
Other new objective types round out the season. Some tasks reward you for absorbing Pop explosions at close range, and there are fresh loadout-testing challenges alongside returning fan-favorite objectives. Read each week’s list before you drop in so you are not grinding activities that do not count.
Confirming your rewards and the deadline
Each cosmetic becomes available once you cross its rank threshold, and outfit pieces show up in your Raider customization options. Remember that Scorta parts, like all outfits, cannot be mixed and matched with other sets, and each color and toggle unlocks separately based on your placement.
The hard cutoff is September 30, 2026 at 07:00 UTC. Whatever rank you hold when the season closes decides which Scorta pieces you keep. If you are close to the next tier, it is worth clearing a few more weekly objectives to lock in the variant or color you want before Trials Season 5 wraps.
