Raid Flag

When another tribe does real damage to your base, your whole tribe gets raid-flagged. A buff icon and a countdown timer pop up on your screen. The flag doesn’t hurt you — it just locks a few things for a short while so nobody can wriggle out of a raid by hiding their loot or running away. If someone’s raiding you, you fight it out — you can’t cheat your way clear.

What Raid-Flags You

• Your base takes real damage from another tribe — walls, structures or dinos getting hurt or destroyed.
• Soaking turrets counts too. The tribe eating the bullets gets flagged even if nothing breaks — you can’t just tank the turrets and stroll away clean.

What’s Blocked While You’re Flagged

While the flag is up, these are switched off for your tribe:

Blocked	Why
Shop, kit and sell commands	No buying your way out of a raid
Transfers — uploading and downloading	You can’t stash your gear on another map
Tek teleporters, transmitters and replicators	No teleporting your stuff (or yourself) to safety — you also can’t place or pick up tek floors
Mass-dropping (popcorning) your loot	No dumping all your boxes so the raiders get nothing

The idea is simple: a raid should be fought, not dodged.

The Timer and Its Restrictions

• The flag runs on a 10-minute timer. It clears 10 minutes after the damage stops.
• Every new hit resets the timer back to the full 10 minutes — so while a raid is actually happening, you stay flagged the whole time and the clock only starts counting down once the hits stop.
• All the blocks above — shop, transfers, tek and popcorning — stay switched off for the entire time the timer is running.
• You can’t add or remove your ORP unit while the timer is up either.
• Check how long you’ve got left any time with /raid.

The Penalty for Logging Off

Logging off while you’re raid-flagged does not get you out of it — it makes things worse:

• Normally your Offline Raid Protection switches on 60 minutes after your last tribe member logs off.
• But if your tribe is raid-flagged at the moment you log off, that’s delayed by an extra 90 minutes — so your base sits unprotected for about 150 minutes (2.5 hours) instead of one.
• The flag itself doesn’t clear when you leave, and your tribe log records that you logged off mid-raid.

You can’t log off to escape a raid

Quitting while flagged leaves your base open for around 2.5 hours before protection kicks in — plenty of time for raiders to finish the job. If you’re being raided, staying and defending is always your best bet.

Fighting in the Open

Hitting another player out in the world (not their base) puts a World PvP flag on both of you. It has the same blocks — shop, transfers, teleporters — but it’s much shorter: it lasts 30 seconds and each new hit resets it. You can’t tap someone and sprint to the obelisk to escape.

Good to Know

• The raid flag is about fair fights — it stops raids being dodged, it doesn’t make you weaker.
• Your tribe log records the damage, so you can see exactly what happened and when.
• Full details on staying safe while offline are on the Offline Raid Protection page.
