ARC Raiders map events disappeared overnight
In the extraction shooter ARC Raiders from Embark Studios, players encountered an issue – temporary events are completely absent from the map. For several hours, only the base states of all five maps were available.
The community has developed several theories about what's happening:
Events were disabled for 12 hours to fix synchronization issues that players complained about last week. All so American gamers could collect duckies outside of nighttime hours.
Spawn points and loot locations are being changed on the maps. Developers need time to reload the maps and update the servers.
Embark Studios is preparing new weather conditions for the map and conducting selective testing for some players – a practice the studio has used before.
It's just a bug or server maintenance (nighttime for Sweden). The simplest explanation without gamer speculation.
The studio hasn't commented on the changes, despite questions being asked on Twitter and Discord. The issue affected players in different regions, and even changing locations didn't help.
An unexpected upside – the number of blueprints dropping overnight was surprisingly high.
