When will map events return to ARC Raiders (Feb. 3)? Likely time and more

ARC Raiders players worldwide have run into a unique problem as developers Embark have removed all map conditions.

If you’re not finding any map condition/event as of writing, you’re not alone. The problem is universal and applies to PC/console players alike. Here’s everything we know about this peculiar incident that happened late on Feb. 2 (US time zones).

Update: Events are back live in ARC Raiders. Please restart your game. As announced by Embark, Hidden Bunker is available in map event rotations. The frequency of Bird City has also been increased so that more players can participate in it.

Why are there no map events in ARC Raiders (Feb. 3)

There are no map events in ARC Raiders, as Embark Studios has disabled them. However, there haven’t been any official announcements from the developers. I have checked Embark’s social media handles, official Discord, and the website. There hasn’t been any official acknowledgement as of writing.

Incidentally, there’s been a post spreading on social media that the events have been disabled for 12 hours. This news is a complete rumor, and there’s no official source. Hence, take that post (if it appears in front of you) with plenty of grains of salt. While the information contained in that post might turn out to be true, it’s not from official sources.

If I have to speculate, the reason has to be how the Hidden Bunker map condition works. The Hidden Bunker map condition is an active part of Week 15 trials that went live yesterday. This map condition has always been a difficult one to complete due to its rigid timings. Moreover, the Hidden Bunker condition doesn’t appear to be in the current rotation pool for map events.

I believe that Embark will be making the schedule far more flexible for at least a week so that we can all participate in the Hidden Bunker event and complete the trials with maximum points possible.

When will map events return to ARC Raiders (Feb. 3)

Embark Studios has yet to acknowledge and announce anything officially. I feel we will get the events back at the daily reset, which takes place at 2am PT/4pm CT/10am UTC. However, these are just my predictions. If there’s any official news, I will duly add it to this guide.

The only option is to play normal raids if you’re desperate to have fun. Otherwise, it’s better to wait for the events to return and become active across all the maps.

Grand Theft Auto 6 is now just a little over nine months away, for real this time, and it’s still on track for its current release date.

That info comes straight after GTA publisher Take-Two’s earnings call today, which touted the upcoming fiscal year that will be “led by the November 19th release of Grand Theft Auto 6 with Rockstar’s launch marketing set to begin this summer,” in a statement to IGN.

And so, we now have some confirmation that the next time we’ll hear or see more about GTA 6, at least publicly and barring any more leaks, is this summer. And further confidence that the game won’t suffer from further delays.

As for recent rumors that GTA 6 will be foregoing physical editions in an effort to avoid more leaks, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick told Variety “that’s not the plan.” So, get those disc drives ready on your PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

For now, we wait until the summer for some hands-on previews and probably a new trailer or two, including the first official look at gameplay. It could happen at Summer Game Fest or another seasonal gaming event, but it’s likely that Rockstar will release the information on their own along with media impressions.

Meanwhile, Take-Two also announced that GTA 5 has sold a whopping 225 million copies, which means GTA 6 has sky-high expectations to try and recreate that. It may not be possible, but if any game could do it, it’s likely this one.

GTA 6 is due to launch for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S on Nov. 19, 2026, so start your countdowns now, if you somehow haven’t already.
