Chernarus raid weekend
The only hours your walls can be tested. This page is Chernarus PvP only — Sakhal has no player raiding.
The raid schedule
Raids start Friday 21:00 CET and stop Monday 01:00 CET. That is the whole schedule. Outside those hours, players cannot raid your walls.
The flag is not the raid schedule
Raising the flag is a different timer: at least every 3 days, lasts up to 20 days. It does not open or close the raid window. Raise it whenever the 3-day clock is due. If it drops, you lose the claim even with no raid happening. Walls do not decay on their own, but the claim still needs the flag up. Detail: Chernarus groups & flags.
Before Friday 21:00
Use the time outside the window to build and prep — not as a second raid mode:
- Finish walls before Friday 21:00. Building at 00:50 on Monday is late.
- Restock Raid Alert batteries, park vehicles in the garage (cargo is not saved on store — empty the trunk), move loot you cannot afford to lose.
- Check hatch distance: 85 m from your flag. Too close and the shovel is refunded.
- Raise the flag if the 3-day clock is due — any day. It is not tied to the raid schedule.
Friday 21:00 — raids start
Assume someone is already walking your perimeter. The first hour is when organised groups hit the obvious bases. Be online, or well hidden. There is no “offline raid ban” inside the window — if you log off Friday night, that is a choice.
Monday 01:00 — raids stop
Last chance raids run through Sunday night until Monday 01:00 CET. After that the walls are safe again until the next Friday 21:00.
What actually breaks
- BBP: doors, hatches and gates only. Walls and windows cannot be blown. Fully blocking every entrance is against the rules — the base must stay raidable.
- Timers by building tier: 5 / 10 / 20 minutes.
- Locked MMG pieces: mmg_raid_driver for 5 minutes, and only during this window. Your CodeLock stays on the container afterwards.
- Bunker hatches can be hacked in the window only, tablet range 15 m.
Raid Alert → Discord
The tower is how you know the window found you while you are at work or on the other side of the map:
- Triggers in a 50 m radius, then a 2 minute cooldown.
- In-game ping + Discord DM + siren (heard from about 500 m).
- Place the base → attach the sender with pliers (~10 s) → insert a battery (required). A screwdriver takes ~10 s to dismantle it cleanly; a crowbar takes ~40 s to destroy it.
- It will not fire if an authorised group member is already standing in the bubble.
- Link Discord on your website profile or the DM never arrives. Low battery and a destroyed tower also send a DM.
