Arc Raiders takes you on an adventure to the topside, where you have to fend against both the environmental dangers as well as other players. At the moment, there are four maps that are accessible by players, where you can engage in PvPvE actions as well as scavenge for resources. To keep things more interesting, at certain periods of the day, some map conditions will be present, which will largely impact the way you interact with the map.

In this article, we will look at all the different map conditions you can expect to encounter in Arc Raiders.

Map conditions could either work in your favour or have you ride against the tide. You can choose to either play on any map in Arc Raiders normally or choose the ongoing condition for the map. However, these conditions are only available for a brief time, and then they will reset. There is then no telling when that condition will return to the map.

A winter map condition will soon be available over the next few weeks, as per the roadmap announced by Arc Raiders. There are currently nine map conditions that have timely rotations of accessibility in Arc Raiders.
