First Wave Husks are old, broken ARC machine wrecks scattered around the surface maps — you search/breach them (not fight them) to complete this trial. They're different from regular ARC enemies and usually count toward weekly trial objectives.
Best Locations to Find First Wave Husks
1. Dam Battlegrounds – Old Battleground (Top Spot)
- The Old Battleground area in Dam Battlegrounds has a lot of husks clustered together.
- You'll find large Baron-class husks and smaller husk wreckage here.
This is generally considered the most reliable farming route for the “Search First Wave Husks” trial because of density.
2. Dam Battlegrounds – South Swamp Outpost & Water Treatment
- Between the swamp outpost and Water Treatment area, there are plenty of smaller husks scattered through the terrain.
3. Dam Battlegrounds – Breach Region
- Another good zone in the same map with scattered husks.
- Less dense than Old Battleground but good as a follow-up once you've cleared the main cluster.
4. Spaceport – Vehicle Maintenance & Outskirts
- The Spaceport map has husks too — especially outside the main walls near maintenance areas and outskirts.
Spaceport is often safer since fewer players go to outskirts and extraction can be quieter.
5. Blue Gate – Between Adorned Wreckage & Barren Clearing
- On the Blue Gate map, the area between these two POIs has multiple husks including large Baron wrecks.
Maps Where Husks Can Spawn
First Wave Husks can be found on almost all major maps where husks spawn. The big exception is Stella Montis (they don't usually appear there).
- Dam Battlegrounds
- Buried City
- Spaceport
- Blue Gate
(Husks won't count on Stella Montis)
Tips for Efficient Farming
✅ Husk Graveyard Condition
If the match has a Husk Graveyard map condition, husk spawn rate goes way up — prioritize these matches.
✅ Night or Storm Conditions
Night raids or Electromagnetic Storm conditions increase spawn rates and points — both help you hit trial goals faster.
✅ Know the Types
Searchable husks include:
- Baron Husks (big)
- Rocketeer Husks
- Wasp Husks (small)
All three count toward the trial.
Quick Route Suggestion
Dam Battlegrounds Route:
- Start at Old Battleground → breach all nearby husks
- Move to South Swamp Outpost → scan the landscape
- Finish in the Breach Region for extra points
Then extract. This loop often nets enough points for 3★ trial rewards.
