Arc Raiders' map conditions 'will shift to fit specific regions' peak hours' as part of the latest Phantom Targets update
This is a huge win for normal sleep schedules everywhere.
Embark, the developer behind Arc Raiders, has recently rolled out a solution to address the issue of fairer map condition distributions in the latest Phantom Targets update. This update brings with it a new feature called Regional Map Condition Scheduling, which will now align the scheduling of map conditions with players' playing habits.
Embark explains that starting with version 1.42.0, the map conditions' schedule will be offset based on regions, instead of a single global schedule. Consequently, the condition schedule will shift to fit specific regions' peak hours, ensuring a better experience for players regardless of their location.
The update promises increased accessibility to map conditions, such as rubber ducks in Bird City and frozen temperatures in Cold Snap, which were previously inaccessible for some players. Players can now check the new schedule using the map conditions tracker, which showcases a significant number of conditions available during peak times. This update aims to eliminate the frustration of missing out on map conditions due to regional disparities in their availability.
