Arc Raiders Map Rotation
Complete guide to how map rotation works, when events change, and how to track the rotation schedule.
What is Map Rotation?
Map rotation in Arc Raiders refers to how events and conditions change on each of the six maps throughout the day. Each map has its own independent rotation schedule, with events typically lasting 30-90 minutes before changing.
✅ Update - Events Fixed:
The map conditions schedule issue has been fixed! Embark Studios pushed an update that enables this week's schedule. No download required, but please restart your game to see the updated rotations. Bird City frequency has also been increased.
Check our live rotation tracker to see the current rotation schedule for all maps.
How Map Rotation Works
Independent Map Rotations
Each of the six maps (Dam, Spaceport, Buried City, BlueGate, Stella Montis, and Riven Tides) has its own independent rotation schedule. This means:
- • Different maps can have different events active at the same time
- • Events don't sync across maps - they rotate independently
- • You can check which map has the event you want before queuing
Event Duration
Events typically last 30-90 minutes before rotating to the next event or returning to Standard Patrol. Major events like Night Raid and Electromagnetic Storm tend to be shorter (30-60 minutes), while minor events can last longer.
Rotation Schedule
The rotation schedule is not fixed - it's dynamic and changes based on server-side scheduling. However, you can track the current rotation in real-time using our tracker.
Some conditions like Bird City (on Buried City) cycle weekly rather than on the standard rotation schedule.

Common Questions
Q: How often do maps rotate?
Events on each map typically rotate every 30-90 minutes. The rotation is independent for each map, so different maps can have different events active simultaneously.
Q: Is the rotation schedule fixed?
No, the rotation schedule is dynamic and managed server-side. It's not a fixed pattern, which is why using a live tracker is essential to know what's currently active.
Q: Can I see what event is coming next?
Yes! Our live rotation tracker shows upcoming events with countdown timers so you know exactly when the next event starts on each map.
Q: Why doesn't the rotation match what I see in-game?
Update: The event rotation issue has been fixed! If you're still seeing mismatches, restart your game (no download required). The update enables this week's schedule and should resolve the issue. Embark Studios is also working on finding a schedule for all conditions so all time zones get a chance to play.
Q: Do all maps have the same events?
Most events can appear on any map, but some are map-specific. For example, Bird City is exclusive to Buried City and cycles weekly rather than on the standard rotation.
