What Are Night Raids in ARC Raiders?
Raising the challenge, Night Raids is a unique timed event mode which transforms standard scavenging into a high-stakes operation. However, unlike regular daytime raids, these expeditions feature several key differences to alter gameplay. Yet, the most notable change is its heavier ARC presence throughout the map.
You’ll get an item as a reward for completing the challenge. During the Night Raid, every item increases loot value upon returning to Speranza. With this, the raids appeal to players wanting to maximize their earnings and build their inventory. But the increased rewards come with risks which you have to prepare for carefully.
Key Differences from Regular Raids
There are several key differences in Night Raids and standard daytime operations in ARC Raiders. Due to this, it provides varying experience for players such as:
- ARC Machine presence is heavier which is why you have to equip the best weapons.
- Stealth alone won’t be sufficient in completing these raids as running into hostile machines becomes nearly inevitable.
- Night Raids have fewer Return Points compared to regular raids in the game.
- All Raider Hatches are completely unavailable during this timed event.
- Reducing extraction options forces all players on the map to funnel toward the limited available Return Points.
- Also, the extraction limitation increases the possibility of conflict with other Raiders.
When and Where Night Raids Occur
There are four maps where Night Raids operate and become available. It includes the Buried City, Dam Battlegrounds, Spaceport, and The Blue Gate. Each map displays a Night Raid icon alongside a timer indicating when the next raid is available.
It also can indicate how much time remains for you to enter an active raid. If the option appears greyed out, the timer shows the countdown until it becomes accessible. For example, if it shows thirty minutes, then you have to wait that long before it opens.
If a Night Raid is currently active, it shows how much time you have to enter before it goes on cooldown. Also, the Night Raids refreshes every couple of hours in real-time. So if one map remains inactive, then at least one other location will have it active.
Tips for Success When Playing Night Raids
Now you’ve understood how Night Raids work, these are some tips to excel when playing it. Rather than going straight to the point, it is better to prepare for the worst when entering this event.
- Make sure you bring your most effective weapons and equipment as the ARC presence increases.
- Avoid entering Night Raids with only subpar gear unless you’re comfortable losing everything.
- Then, maximize your inventory management before departing.
- Make sure your Stash has sufficient space to accommodate all the loot you’ll be collecting.
- If possible, expand your Safe Pocket slots to ensure your valuable items return to Speranza despite not surviving the extraction.
- Also, study available Return Points to plan your route before entering a Night Raid.
- Manage your time wisely upon entering the Night Raid. Make sure to balance collecting loots and reaching the extraction point before the timer expires.
