Map Conditions are a crucial aspect of ARC Raiders, as each one can shift how you engage with your next raid. Some might encourage you to fight an elite ARC enemy, like the Queen or Matriarch, whilst others lock off certain POIs until you open them.
It’s not just for fun, though, as some Conditions can offer better—or sometimes exclusive—loot. However, you can’t jump into these various Map Conditions whenever you’d like, as they’re on a strict schedule, meaning you’ll need to plan your raids accordingly.
If you’re looking to play a specific Map Condition in ARC Raiders, then look no further, as Insider Gaming has all of the timings for each one listed below.
All ARC Raiders Map Conditions
There are currently 11 Map Conditions in rotation for ARC Raiders, and these are split into two categories: Minor and Major Map Conditions.
Each Map Condition has its own unique gimmicks that change up gameplay, and Embark Studios is regularly adding new ones or altering pre-existing ones. Additionally, some are exclusive to certain maps, as they’re dependent on the setting; for example, Bird City is exclusive to Buried City, meaning you’ll only find the rare Rubber Ducks when that Minor Map Condition is in rotation.
Here’s the list of every ARC Raiders Minor Map Condition currently in rotation:
- Husk Graveyard
- Matriarch
- Launch Tower Loot
- Harvester
- Bird City
- Prospecting Probes
Here’s the list of every ARC Raiders Major Map Condition currently in rotation:
- Night Raid
- Electromagnetic Storm
- Hidden Bunker
- Locked Gate
- Hurricane
- Close Scrutiny
Every Map Event Schedule In ARC Raiders
The ARC Raiders Map Conditions run on a regular schedule, with each map rotating every hour.
Every Map Condition runs for an hour at a time, and once the timer’s up, a new Event will take its place. However, not every map has an Event always running, and there are often downtime periods. It encourages experiencing different maps and working with different strategies, but you’ll need to plan ahead if you’re hoping to play during a specific one.
Insider Gaming has the entire ARC Raiders Map Condition schedule listed below, but it’s according to the Pacific time zone. If you live in another time zone, be sure to alter the timings according to the time zone converter below:

| Eastern Time (ET) | PT+3 |
| Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) | PT+8 |
