ARC Raiders Shots Fired: 1,000 ARC damage

ARC Raiders Shots Fired requires 1,000 damage to ARC enemies. The published method adds damage across raids; it does not require 1,000 enemy kills or damage to other Raiders.

A useful way to work on it

Take an affordable weapon and attack ARC you can handle during ordinary supply runs. Hizzle recommends choosing encounters that still leave a return route, rather than deliberately losing a rare kit for a small counter increase. A killing blow is not the stated damage requirement.

Pair the goal with ARC Raiders Mechanical Failure: Wasp thruster or ARC Raiders Snitches get Stitches: Stitcher kill. The separate 50-destruction milestone concerns destroyed enemies, not the same damage counter.

If progress seems stuck

Reported bugged, historical: older guides describe frozen progress, while later published advice and January player reports describe successful unlocks. The official January 27 notice explicitly names fixes to two different achievements; it is not a blanket Shots Fired fix announcement.

UNSURE: today's platform-specific tracking reliability, retroactive credit and any guaranteed retry. An old “first raid only” report is not a confirmed current rule. Record your platform, build and observed counter before comparing reports. Online play is required; time, difficulty and reset persistence remain unresolved. No in-game testing by Hizzle.
