Phasmophobia 6 Tanglewood Drive rework update countdown: Exact start time and date

One of Phasmophobia’s most beloved maps is soon receiving a drastic rework focused on improving the overall quality and playability of the location. The next map rework is 6 Tanglewood Drive, and you’ll want to jump in as soon as possible to explore these exciting changes.

The devs are steadily working their way through updating all of the house maps the ghost hunting game has to offer. So far, we’ve seen refreshes for Bleasdale Farmhouse and Grafton Farmhouse, making 6 Tanglewood Drive the third location to undergo this process. If you want to be ready to start ghost hunting and the new and improved home as soon as it’s available, here’s the exact time and date when the Phasmophobia 6 Tanglewood Drive rework update will be released.

Phasmophobia 6 Tanglewood Drive rework update release date and time

The 6 Tanglewood Drive map rework officially launches on March 3. A release time for this update hasn’t been revealed so far, and likely won’t be since most previous updates didn’t have a launch time announced. Most past updates have been released at the exact same time, though, so there’s a solid chance this one will, too, which is 7am CT/1pm UTC.

We’ve set our countdown to the expected launch time and translated it across major time zones so you can check exactly when it will be live in your area. If the devs do announce a different time, or if any delays occur, we’ll update all relevant details here.

Phasmophobia 6 Tanglewood Drive rework update features

The 6 Tanglewood Drive update is focused on giving this house map an overall refresh and upgrade to help it better align with the devs’ vision for the full 1.0 launch of the game, previously known as the Horror 2.0 update. The team told Destructoid that “the revised map is designed to increase the quality, interactivity, and replayability of the well-loved location.”

If you previously witnessed the reworks for Bleasdale Farmhouse and Grafton Farmhouse, you have a solid idea of what to expect with this one. This redesign will be less intense, though, and retain more of the overall shape and layout players have come to know and love.

The reworked 6 Tanglewood Drive map will feature all kinds of new interactions on the map. These will likely be similar to some of the oddities you can find around other updated locations, like the Spider at Bleasdale Farmhouse or the whipped cream dispensers scattered all around Nell’s Diner.

There’s also some kind of “new surprise” waiting to be uncovered in the basement on the updated map. No details or teasers as to what this might be have been revealed, although there is a new train set featured in some of the key art, so it could be referencing this. It’s also possible it’s something else entirely, though, so we’ll have to wait until March 3 to learn what it is.

Seeing such an iconic and beloved location undergo a drastic rework might be intimidating, but the devs told Destructoid they recognize that the location is a “fan favorite” and are simply hoping to “raise the map to the same level as the newer locations, and make Phasmophobia the game [they’ve] always wanted it to be.”

It’s a big year for the ghost hunting game, and this update is only the first of many slated to release as the year progresses, according to the 2026 Phasmophobia roadmap. The next map rework slated for launch is 13 Willow Street, releasing sometime before the end of the year. While you wait for more fresh content to arrive, consider diving into some of the most recent additions, like learning how to identify a Gallu, Dayan, and Obambo.

The launch of the Shrouded Sky update in ARC Raiders has a few new ways for players to be rewarded for their efforts, and the First Wave Raider Caches should be high on your priority list.

Not to be mistaken with the standard Raider Caches (in terms of their content), this variant is exclusive to the Hurricane map condition. While surviving the storm is filled with horrors and terrors, you can get some amazing loot in the process.

How to get First Wave Raider Caches in ARC Raiders

The First Wave Raider Caches are special containers that you can search for valuable loot. Not to be mistaken for Unconvered Caches, First Wave Raider Caches have been revealed by the strong winds of the Hurricane map event. These caches appear to be bigger than the standard ones (possibly due to the larger number of items).

Finding one is a huge challenge since it’s very hard to locate them in the dark. So far, I have found them on the Dam Battlegrounds and the Blue Gate maps. But some members of the community have also found success on Spaceport and Buried City.

I have marked the locations below (my own and based on the community). I have added the possible spots for Blue Gate and Dam Battlegrounds, but I will add more locations as I find more caches in the days to come.

First things first – the First Wave Raider Caches don’t have fixed locations on the map. Their locations appear to change with the raid, so that’s something to keep in mind. The locations shown on the images below are ‘possible’ spots where you should look. Finding one will also largely depend on your luck. Always look around the bushes because some of the caches can be hidden from open view.

If you’re on Dam Battlegrounds, you can check out the locations marked above.

If you’re on Blue Gate, you check the spots marked on the image above.

Are First Wave Raider Caches worth it in ARC Raiders

First Wave Raider Caches are incredibly valuable to find in the current version of ARC Raiders. I am unsure if the rate of rewards will be changed in the future, but you can find some amazing items. The pool of possible rewards includes blueprints (for weapons and explosives), among other things.

Hence, finding the caches should be your top priority if you’re willing to brave the challenges of the Hurricane.
