Arc Raiders Bird City event times and modifier explained

Arc Raiders’ Headwinds update brought with it the Bird City event, a new map modifier exclusive to the Buried City that’s all about, you guessed it, avians. While the Bird City timings aren’t very convenient for most folk, the rewards will make you rich, so it’s worth swooping in when you can.

I’ll explain the Bird City map modifier below, including everything it adds and how it benefits you, as well as the schedule in your timezone. Take note that this is only a minor map modifier, similar to Lush Blooms, so it simply takes over the standard matchmaking for the Buried City map; it’s not a separate node like Night Raid, for example.

When is the next Bird City event in Arc Raiders?

Like other map modifiers, Bird City is active multiple times per day at specific intervals (every eight hours) and lasts for just one hour. This gives you a very narrow window for when you can play it.
