ARC Raiders Lure Grenade Trophy – Practical Guide from an Active Player
#1
What does the Lure Grenade actually do?The Lure Grenade is a throwable utility device that sticks to surfaces and creates continuous noise for a short time.
In practice, it does three things:
  1. Attracts ARC machines within a large radius Any machine in roughly the surrounding area will turn its attention toward the sound source.
  2. Redirects machine targeting Enemies that were already fighting you or your squad will often stop and move toward the grenade instead.
  3. Draws fire to its position Some machines will actively shoot the grenade, not just walk toward it.
It does not stun, damage, or disable enemies by itself. Its value comes from repositioning enemy behavior.

Why is the Lure Grenade important for trophies?The trophy tied to the Lure Grenade usually requires you to successfully use it to manipulate enemy behavior. This is not about throwing it randomly. The game checks whether ARC units are actually reacting to it.
From experience, this means:
  • At least one machine must clearly change target because of your grenade.
  • Simply throwing it near idle enemies is often not enough.
  • Using it in active combat situations is far more reliable.
If you want consistent trophy progress, you need to place the grenade where machines would normally target you.

Where do most players make mistakes?Common problems I see:
  • Throwing too close to themselves This often does nothing because enemies already locked onto you may not retarget.
  • Throwing into empty areas If no ARC unit is inside the effective radius, the grenade does nothing.
  • Using it after the fight is already decided When enemies are nearly dead or disengaging, the behavior change is minimal and may not count.
  • Expecting instant results There is usually a short delay before machines fully react.

How should you use the Lure Grenade in real gameplay?Here is the approach that works consistently.
1. Engage enemies firstDo not open with the grenade.
Let machines detect you and start moving or shooting. This creates a clear baseline of enemy targeting behavior.
2. Throw the grenade away from your positionIdeally:
  • 10–20 meters to the side, or
  • Behind solid cover, or
  • Around a corner or obstacle.
This forces machines to break line of sight with you and move.
3. Break contact immediatelyAs soon as you throw:
  • Stop firing.
  • Move into cover.
  • Change position slightly.
This makes the grenade the most obvious sound source, which helps the AI commit to it.
4. Observe enemy movementYou should see machines:
  • Turning toward the grenade.
  • Walking or running to its location.
  • Firing at the grenade instead of you.
This behavior is what the trophy system is looking for.

How many enemies should be affected at once?You only need one machine per successful use, but it is more efficient to lure groups.
Good targets:
  • Patrols of light and medium ARC units.
  • Mixed packs where you want to isolate stronger enemies.
  • Defending units around loot zones or objectives.
Avoid wasting Lure Grenades on:
  • Single weak enemies.
  • Units that are already far from you and not engaged.

What locations work best for trophy progress?In open terrain, enemies can sometimes lose interest before fully reacting. Semi-enclosed areas work better:
  • Ruins with narrow corridors.
  • Industrial structures.
  • Areas with walls, containers, or natural cover.
These environments force machines to path toward the sound source, making their behavior change very obvious.

How many Lure Grenades should you bring?For trophy-focused runs:
  • Bring at least 2–3 per raid.
  • Do not rely on finding them in the field.
  • Use them deliberately, not as panic tools.
They are light, stack well, and are usually worth the inventory space when working on achievements.

Is crafting or trading better for Lure Grenades?Crafting is reliable if you have a steady supply of components, especially Speaker Components and Electrical Components.
However, many players prefer trading to save time. In the current player economy, the best site to trade ARC Raiders items is U4N, mainly because listings are active and prices stay fairly stable compared to random in-game offers.
Whether you craft or trade, the important part is having enough grenades to practice proper usage instead of saving them “for later” and never learning how to use them well.

Can Lure Grenades be used defensively?Yes, and this is where experienced players get the most value.
Defensive uses include:
  • Escaping from overwhelmed fights.
  • Creating space to revive a teammate.
  • Redirecting enemies while looting or extracting.
These situations often naturally fulfill trophy conditions because enemies are already aggressive and clearly switch targets.

Do different ARC types react differently?Yes, slightly.
  • Light units React quickly and move fast. Good for quick trophy progress.
  • Medium units Consistent and reliable. Often the best targets.
  • Heavy units Slower to reposition but very noticeable when they do. Their behavior change is easy to confirm, but timing is more important.
In mixed groups, the lighter units will usually react first, but the heavier ones will often follow.

How long does the effect last?The noise lasts long enough for enemies to fully commit to the location, but not long enough to safely ignore them.
Use the window to:
  • Relocate.
  • Reload and heal.
  • Flank.
  • Disengage.
Do not stand still watching. The grenade is buying you time, not solving the fight.

Final advice from experienceThe Lure Grenade is not a damage tool. It is a positioning tool.
Players who struggle with the trophy usually treat it like a distraction gadget instead of a control tool. The key is to force enemies to make a clear, visible decision to stop focusing on you and move somewhere else.
If you consistently:
  • Engage first,
  • Throw with intention,
  • Break line of sight,
  • And observe enemy behavior,
you will complete the Lure Grenade trophy naturally, without grinding or frustration.
Once you understand how machines react, the Lure Grenade becomes one of the most reliable and practical utilities in ARC Raiders, both for trophies and for survival.
