Arc Raiders’ Trophy Display Project is one of the most talked-about additions in the Headwinds update, giving players a long-term goal that rewards exploration, combat, and farming strategy. This multi-stage progression system challenges Raiders to hunt specific ARC enemies and submit their parts in exchange for blueprints, weapons, tokens, cosmetics, and more — all while building up an impressive virtual trophy display.

What Is the Trophy Display Project?

The Trophy Display Project is a 5-stage, ongoing progression event that tasks players with gathering unique materials dropped by ARC machines and found in specific areas. Each stage unlocks when you’ve contributed all required parts, and completing a stage gives instant rewards, with bigger prizes unlocked as you advance. The project has no fixed end date, meaning you can chip away at your goals at your own pace.

Trophy Display Project Stages & Required Materials

Here’s a breakdown of each stage by the materials you must collect — and the rewards you earn for completing them.

Stage 1 — Roaming Threats

Focus enemies: Pops, Ticks, rolling Surveyors found in early game zones and industrial areas.

Stage 2 — Soaring Menaces

This stage focuses on flying ARC enemies like Wasps and Hornets, plus lootable medical items.

Stage 3 — Ferocious Foes

Mid-tier threats such as Leapers, Bastions, and Shredders drop these parts.

Stage 4 — Dominant Dangers

High-risk enemies like Queens and rocketeering machines are the key targets here.

Stage 5 — Imposing Behemoths

The final and most difficult stage revolves around powerful threats in Exodus zones and Matriarch bosses.

Full Completion Rewards

Complete all five stages and earn a suite of high-value rewards:

- 300,000 Coins
- Energy Clip x5
- Howl (Emote)
- Acoustic Guitar (Legendary Quick-Use Item)
- Jupiter (Legendary Weapon)

These rewards aren’t just cosmetic — they offer significant gameplay value, especially for late-game progression.

Tips for Efficient Progress

Track & Store Materials

Even if you aren’t ready to submit, you can stash items early for later stages. This makes future farming much easier.

Prioritize Rare Loot Zones

High-end materials like Geiger Counters and Exodus Modules are best found in Stella Montis and other high reward areas.

Wipe and Reset Considerations

Because some players find rewards might reset with Expeditions, many recommend completing Trophy Display after an Expedition reset to preserve blueprints and tokens.

Why the Trophy Display Project Matters

The Trophy Display adds meaningful long-term goals in Arc Raiders — beyond just survival and PvP skirmishes. It encourages players to:

- Master enemy wave mechanics
- Explore dangerous zones
- Strategically farm high-value loot
- Build better weapons and gear

Whether you’re a solo raider or part of a squad, this project gives your combat efforts lasting rewards that extend far beyond individual matches.
