ARC Raiders Well-Armed requires two weapons of Tier II or higher equipped during a round. Inspect the actual tiers and both weapon slots before deploying. Weapon color or two copies sitting in storage do not establish the requirement.
Basic method
Prepare two qualifying guns, equip both and enter a normal raid. The published route also describes qualifying weapons found during a round. Hizzle suggests starting with an affordable pair you are comfortable losing rather than buying an expensive workaround.
If it does not unlock
Reported bugged, historical: Sippa and dated player discussion describe failures on entry, retries and occasional success after finding a second qualifying weapon during a raid. These accounts do not prove that picking up someone else's weapon is a mandatory current trigger.
The January 27 official fixes name two other awards. Neither that notice nor a general “all fixed” headline verifies a Well-Armed fix. UNSURE: a guaranteed retry, exact current platform reliability and retroactive credit.
Online play is required. Time, difficulty and reset persistence remain unscored. Follow the normal requirement first; do not treat a costly repeated deployment as a confirmed solution.
