What Are All the Map Conditions?

Map conditions are temporary gameplay modifiers that change how you play. Here are the current conditions:

Map Condition	Description
Hidden Bunker	A sealed bunker appears on Spaceport outskirts. Look for heavy Arc activity to find it. Activate four antennas to unlock. Raider Hatches are disabled, and exit points are limited, making PvP fights tougher.
Lush Blooms	Natural resources like fruits and seeds spawn more often. Great for gathering with minimal combat.
Night Raid	The map is at night with moonlight. Visibility is low, flashlights reveal your position, and enemies are more aggressive. Keys and better loot behind locked doors are more common, making PvP more dangerous but more rewarding.
Electromagnetic Storm	Lightning strikes occur across the map. Avoid hits to shields but use strikes to disable enemies. Useful for fighting tough targets or completing combat quests. Stay alert when looting.
Prospecting Probes	More Arc Probes and Couriers appear, perfect for quests or farming probe loot. They cluster closer together for faster runs and quick extras.
Husk Graveyard	Significantly increases the number of Arc husks available for looting and quests. Best for harvesting husk materials quickly.
Harvester	A large Harvester machine spawns, protected by a Queen. Requires teamwork to defeat. Expect big PvE battles and valuable rewards.
