Never miss a Matriarch again. ArcTimers shows what's happening Topside in ARC Raiders and notifies you before each Map Condition starts. It covers every map in the Rust Belt, and Pendola Pass beyond it, where an Emperor fell in the Frozen Trail update. TIMELINE Shani keeps watch over Topside for Speranza; ArcTimers keeps watch for you. See which Map Conditions are live now, which start next and what comes later in the day. Matriarch, Harvester, ARC Frigate, Night Raid, Electromagnetic Storm, Hurricane, Redirection and the rest each run for one hour on one map, with a countdown to the end. Maps: Dam, Buried City, Spaceport, Blue Gate, Stella Montis, Riven Tides and Pendola Pass. MAPS Every map Topside, from the Rust Belt to Pendola Pass. Find the ARC, containers, quests and extraction points, search them, and show only what you're after. Pan, zoom and switch floors where a map has them. WIDGETS Keep Topside on your Home Screen. Active Now shows the Map Conditions running right now and the time left; Coming Up shows the ones starting within the hour. In small, medium and large. TRACK AN EVENT Tap the bell on an event and you get a notification when it starts. Free for up to 5 tracked events. CUSTOM ALERTS WITH PRO Pick the events and maps you care about once. ArcTimers then alerts you for every match, 15, 10 or 5 minutes before it starts, or right at the start. Off for the evening? Pause all alerts for an hour, until 8 AM tomorrow, or until you turn them back on. TRIALS This week's and next week's Trials, with the maps and Map Conditions where each one scores best. With Pro, set a custom alert for a Trial's best map and Map Condition in one tap. ARCTIMERS PRO Unlimited tracking plus custom alerts.
