The first weekend of ARC Raiders is going to spice up things across different maps with unique modifiers for the players to explore.
The map conditions will have unique effects live during the weekend, which will increase the risks on Topside. This guide will give you a brief idea of what to expect.
How will ARC Raiders map conditions work in Weekend 1
The first weekend will have map conditions applicable to Dam Battlegrounds, Spaceport, and Blue Gate.
| Modifier | Applicable maps | How they work |
|---|---|---|
| Electromagnetic Storm | Dam Battlegrounds, Spaceport, Blue Gate | Lightning strikes will occur at random, which can impact everyone who might get stuck. You can take advantage of it to get rid of certain ARCs that might be too harsh to take down. The lightning strikes could also leave behind exclusive crafting materials/currencies of some kind. |
| Hidden Bunker | Spaceport Outskirts | A secret bunker that's supposed to offer some fantastic rewards. However, you'll need to tread carefully as there will be plenty of ARC enemies. Additionally, you can also expect to find other human players who are going to raid the place for precious resources. |
| Night Raid | Blue Gate | Night Raids will be taking place in the Blue Gate region, which will severely increase the difficulty of successfully extracting from the place. Expect to find stronger ARC enemies trying to take you down as you try to secure the rarer loot. Other Raiders will also be there to stop you, and it's best to stay on your toes. |
Overall, the first set of modifiers really looks interesting and covers all locations barring Buried City. The Hidden Bunker should be at the top of your agenda, and it will be interesting to find out its locations and what types of riches you can expect inside it.
Hunting through the Electromagnetic Storm will add a different layer of complexity to the mix. While it can take down an ARC and help you survive, you'll also want to avoid it at any cost. Let's wait to figure out how the weekend map modifiers will force players to adopt new strategies in ARC Raiders.
