ARC Raiders Event Timers
ARC Raiders Events Schedule By Map
ARC Raiders Map Rotation Information
ARC Raiders dynamic events, frequently called map conditions, are timed environmental and tactical shifts that instantly alter the rules of engagement for every player on a map simultaneously. These events are divided into two distinct tiers: major events (high-stakes hazards and environmental shifts like Night Raid, Electromagnetic Storm, Cold Snap, Hidden Bunker, Locked Gate, and Close Scrutiny) and minor events (localized, high-reward opportunities such as the Matriarch, Harvester, Prospecting Probes, Lush Blooms, and Launch Tower Loot).
It is important to note that all five maps - Dam Battlegrounds, Spaceport, Buried City, Blue Gate, and Stella Montis - run on completely independent event rotations. To properly plan your extraction, simply check the active event cards above to see exactly when the next map condition goes live.
Prospecting Probes
Guarded ARC tech crash sites that drop from orbit in waves. They are an excellent source for scavenging Motion Cores and Circuitry for your Workshop upgrades.
Harvester
A massive ARC structure heavily guarded by ARC units, including a fearsome Queen. Navigate periodic interior fire hazards during "purge" cycles to farm high-tier loot and Legendary weapon blueprints.
Uncovered Caches
Severe weather has unearthed buried Raider containers on a strict timer. Loot them quickly - if left exposed for too long, they will explode, drawing the attention of other Raiders and ARC.
Husk Graveyard
A quiet opportunity where dead ARC machines are scattered across the area. Salvage these husks for valuable materials, but be careful - breaching them makes noise that easily draws unwanted attention.
Launch Tower Loot (Spaceport)
A vertical arena event where players must find Fuel Cells, power up generators, and ride ziplines to the top. Clear waves of aerial ARC drones to access the high-tier weapon crates hidden above.
Lush Blooms
Calm weather where plant life flourishes across the map. Food baskets spawn densely, providing ingredients like lemons, olives, agave, and mushrooms.
Matriarch
A roaming, elite heavy ARC boss. Engaging her requires heavy ammo, explosives, and precise coordination - usually demanding a full squad to bring down.
Bird City
A unique, extremely high-density ARC spawn event where forces converge in overwhelming numbers. Beware of getting easily surrounded.
Night Raid
Darkness falls over the map, increasing ARC activity and bringing higher-tier loot. Flashlights are highly recommended, but beware of attracting unwanted attention.

Electromagnetic Storm
Severe weather introducing dangerous lightning strikes that can electrocute unsuspecting Raiders. You can use these environmental hazards to your advantage by soft-zoning enemies or baiting ARC units.
- Fewer active Return Points

- Lightning strikes (and does damage)
Hurricane
Heavy rain and severe wind conditions that significantly alter visibility and muffle audio cues across the surface. Use the weather to mask your movements.
Close Scrutiny
The ARC network threat level is elevated map-wide. There is a massive increase in observer drones and Snitches, making it much harder to move without triggering escalating ARC reinforcements.
Cold Snap
A freezing map condition where the temperature plummets, requiring Raiders to manage their exposure while navigating the environment.
Hidden Bunker (Spaceport)
Someone has hacked the Outskirts Bunker's security system. Find the buttons to unlock the doors and plunder the treasures within. Expect heavy PvP resistance due to the choke points.
- Fewer active Return Points
- No active Raider Hatches
- Activate Rooftop Antennas
- Retrieve data from the bunker
Locked Gate (Blue Gate)
A clandestine group has activated the Gate's emergency shutdown protocol. Obtain 4 key cards during the match to override it and claim the high-tier rewards. Expect heavy PvP resistance due to the choke points.
- Fewer active Return Points
- No active Raider Hatches
- Collect Security Codes
