Right now there are usually events in ARC Raiders, but several things can make it look like there are “no events” on your map at all.

1. The most likely reason today

Very recently the developers temporarily disabled all live events to fix backend issues with event timers, durations, and rewards.

They said this was a short-term measure (around 12 hours) while they validate timers and resync the scheduling logic before turning events back on globally.

So if you logged in during that maintenance window:

  • All live events were turned off.
  • Map timers would show nothing active or incoming.
  • Event challenges were effectively paused.

When this happens, it feels like the game has no events, but it’s just a temporary shutoff.

“We have made the decision to temporarily disable all live events for approximately 12 hours… before re-enabling events globally.”

2. Fixed schedule = events that never match your playtime

Even when events are enabled, ARC Raiders runs them on fixed daily times , not a smooth rotating schedule.

That means some players almost never see certain events simply because of when they’re able to play.

Players report:

  • Some map conditions (like special storms or bunker-style events) are only up during work hours or late at night for certain regions.
  • People with just a 2–3 hour window per day see the same map conditions over and over and miss rare ones entirely.
  • Long-time players with 100–200+ hours still discover events they’ve never seen before.

From your perspective, that can easily feel like:

“There are no events in this game.”

…when in reality the events are simply happening at times you’re never online.

3. UI, timers, and “invisible” events

There are also some bugs and UX issues that make events hard to notice or appear missing :

  • Players mention clunky map/UI behavior and bugs with sync/reset that affect how event timers show.
  • In past patches, event timers were taken down for hotfixes to fix rotation and extraction issues, again making events look gone for a while.
  • On consoles/PC where system time is wrong or manually changed, matchmaking and event access can break, leading to “I can’t do events” posts.

So even when events technically exist:

  • Timers might not appear correctly.
  • You might not see the countdowns you expect.
  • Attempting tricks like changing your system clock can actually stop events from working properly.

4. How players track events outside the game

Because of the fixed schedule and weak in‑game overview, the community leans on third‑party trackers:

  • Sites like Metaforge/ARCTracker show all map event timers and let you set reminders for when certain events go live.
  • Map/tracking sites help players plan around rares they’d otherwise never catch during their normal play hours.

This doesn’t fix the underlying scheduling problem, but it at least proves that events do exist even if your local window looks empty.

5. What this all means for your “no events” issue

Putting it together, the main reasons you might see zero events are:

  1. Temporary global shutdown of events while devs fix timer/rotation issues (most recent and very likely right now).
  1. Fixed-time scheduling that simply never lines up with when you play.
  1. UI/timer bugs or system-time issues making events invisible or inaccessible.

If you want to quickly confirm what’s going on right now :

  • Check recent ARC Raiders announcements or patch notes to see if events are temporarily disabled.
  • Look at a community event timer site (like ARCTracker/Metaforge) to see whether events are scheduled during your usual play hours.

TL;DR: There are events in ARC Raiders, but at this moment they’ve been temporarily turned off for backend fixes, and even when they’re on, the fixed schedule plus some UI bugs makes it feel like there are “no events” for many players.
