- How does ARC Raiders map rotation work?
- All six maps are always playable — what rotates are map conditions (events). Each map runs its own hourly schedule set by Embark: conditions start on the hour and last about 60 minutes, and any hour without a condition runs Standard Patrol.
- What is the current ARC Raiders map rotation?
- The live board above shows what’s active on every map right now, with countdowns to the next condition in your local time. It re-syncs automatically so the times stay current after Embark pushes a schedule update.
- When is the next Night Raid in ARC Raiders?
- Use the “find the next” filter on the board to jump to the next Night Raid on any map, with a local-time countdown. Night Raid rotates hourly and can appear on any of the six maps.
- What are Major and Minor map conditions?
- Major conditions (Night Raid, Electromagnetic Storm, Hurricane, Hidden Bunker, Locked Gate, Close Scrutiny) change the whole raid’s stakes. Minor conditions (Matriarch, Harvester, Prospecting Probes, Lush Blooms, Launch Tower Loot, Bird City, Beachcombing) create targeted loot or boss opportunities.
- Which events are best for blueprint farming?
- Night Raid boosts high-tier loot and blueprint drops; Close Scrutiny drops new-weapon (Assessor) blueprints; the Matriarch and Harvester bosses drop legendary blueprints. Electromagnetic Storm is the pick for Sentinel Firing Cores.
- Why does the ARC Raiders schedule sometimes change?
- Embark pushes rotation updates server-side, often around patches. This tracker re-syncs automatically and shows the last sync time, so when a patch shifts the timings the board updates with them.
Changelog
- 2026-06-11 — 6 maps (incl. Riven Tides) and 13 current map conditions verified vs the official list.
Live rotation data from MetaForge (metaforge.app/arc-raiders). Map conditions are server-pushed by Embark and can change with patches; this page re-syncs and shows the last sync time.
