Raiding
Raiding is a core part of the game. Know the raid times, the allowed mechanics and the base-building limits before you engage. The server rules on Discord always have the final word.
Raid times
The server clock runs at UTC+1 all year (no daylight saving). The second column shows the same times in Central European Summer Time (UTC+2); in UK winter time (UTC) subtract one hour from the server time.
Standard servers
| Day | Server time (UTC+1) | Summer time (UTC+2) |
|---|---|---|
| Monday – Thursday | 17:00 → 24:00 | 18:00 → 01:00 |
| Friday | 17:00 → 03:00 | 18:00 → 04:00 |
| Saturday | 15:00 → 03:00 | 16:00 → 04:00 |
| Sunday | 15:00 → 24:00 | 16:00 → 01:00 |
Flashpoint has only one raid weekend: no raiding on the wipe weekend and none Monday – Thursday. On the raid weekend, raiding runs non-stop from Friday 19:00 to Sunday 00:59.
The current raid times are always posted in the Discord.
Soft-siding
- Soft-siding is allowed.
- If a player boosts into your base through a weak spot, they may dismantle from the inside.
- Roofs built incorrectly from floors can be dismantled if they are reachable.
Build carefully; bad layouts get punished.
Breaching charges (C4)
Breaching charges are the only way to raid doors and gates.
| C4 can be placed on | C4 cannot be placed on |
|---|---|
| Doors | Walls and half walls |
| Gates | Roofs and floors |
| Floor hatches | Windows |
| Roof hatches | Foundations |
| Garage doors | Helicopter hangar doors |
Crafting a Heavy Breaching Charge
- 2× Single Stick of C4 + Duct Tape → C4 Sticks
- Detonator + C4 Sticks → C4 (no wiring)
- C4 (no wiring) + Electronic Repair Kit → Heavy Breaching Charge
Helicopter hangar doors
- Only for storing helicopters safely; they cannot be raided from the outside.
- A helicopter needs at least two hangar doors.
- Hangar doors must not be part of your main entrance or raid path. A normal entrance that can be C4'd is mandatory.
Raid alarm
Get Discord alerts when your base is under attack. Buy the parts at the Black Market or find them in building keyrooms and airdrops.
Parts: Base Tower, Sender, Battery.
- Place the Base Tower inside your base.
- Attach the Sender and assemble it with Pliers.
- Insert the Battery and press F to set up the alarm.
Discord webhook
- On your own Discord server, create or pick a channel for the alerts.
- Edit Channel → Integrations, create a webhook (or reuse one), name it and copy the URL.
- Paste the URL in-game with Ctrl + V.
Good to know
- Put the tower somewhere safe; raiders can dismantle or destroy it if they reach it.
- The alarm does not trigger when raiders breach from inside the base; internal raids bypass it.
