Raid timers and rotations, confirmed in the patch notes
Active Matter raids run on a schedule, and two official updates confirm the timing: Update 0.4.0.62 added a countdown timer to the next raid rotation, displayed in the 'Raids' section and in the status of the button for a raid unavailable by schedule, while Update 0.4.0.73 confirms a concrete raid duration by raising the Downtown raid from 30 to 45 minutes.
For extraction, those timers give you the endpoints to plan around: the widget updated in Update 0.4.0.50 displays the closing time of the current raid alongside the opening time of the next one, with an icon and a colored alert, and Update 0.4.0.73 sets the Downtown raid's confirmed length at 45 minutes, up from 30.
Read those numbers before committing to an objective or an extraction run: the countdown tracks the next raid rotation and the widget's closing time shows when the current raid ends.
What to check in the Missions Terminal before picking a scheduled raid
- Open the Missions Terminal and scan the reworked raid list: Update 0.4.0.62 turned it into a single list with three categories — Raids, Hired Ops, and Faction Battles.
- Note each raid's subtype icon — green marks isolated raids and blue marks open raids — and look for the hourglass mark that Update 0.4.0.62 puts on raids unavailable by schedule.
- Read the countdown timer to the next raid rotation, which Update 0.4.0.62 added in the 'Raids' section and in the status of the button for a raid unavailable by schedule.
- On a raid carrying the hourglass mark, check its schedule status: Update 0.4.0.62 replaced the word 'Cycle' there with 'Temporarily unavailable'.
- Select the raid you are weighing and read the weather and time-of-day widget in its corner: updated in Update 0.4.0.50, it displays the opening time of the next raid and the closing time of the current one, flagged with an icon and a colored alert.
- Commit to objectives and an extraction route with those readings in hand: the countdown tracks the next raid rotation and the widget's closing time marks when the current raid ends, so shape your objective order around the schedule the terminal shows.
