What Each Active Matter Objective Asks of You

A raid's objective decides what your run is really about. Some send you after a target to hunt, capture or protect, some ask you to collect information, and some want items pulled out of the zone. The Unstable Zone raids are a different kind of test, because you have to survive a zone that keeps closing in. Read the danger rating next to the objective. A high-danger run on a map you already know can bring tougher threats and fewer ways out.

Why One Map Plays Differently in Each Variant

Most maps have more than one named raid, and each variant can change the threats, the exits or both. Factory: Bloodbath adds Tentacles and can put an Invisible contract nest at one of two possible sites. Downtown: Collapse keeps its boundary fixed, so the zone stays wide open. Plan around its final exit. Military Base: Silent Observers sends you after information. Its Unstable Zone variant replaces the normal exits with one randomly chosen portal.

Timed Exits, Final Portals and Extraction Holds

Extraction is a hold, not a tap. Stand inside the exit's radius until the timer finishes, and expect guards at some exits, so clear the area before you commit. Permanent exits stay open for the whole raid. Timed exits open one after another and shut the moment the zone starts shrinking, so the exit you can reach in time is the one that counts.

Unstable Zone raids change the rules. The server picks a single final portal from a set of possible spots, and the chosen one appears on the map only after a shrink. It opens in the last phase, or sooner if only one team is left at the final shrink, and it closes once someone uses it.

Crate Tiers to Check Before You Pick a Route

Crate tiers change from map to map, and a named variant can change the pool again. Check the T3 and T2 military crate lines before you choose a route. A map that leans on T3 crates asks for a different run than one that leans on T1 and T2, so decide which crates you're after first.
