How It Works: Executive Hangar Timer

The Executive Hangar timer follows a strict, repeating cycle divided into three distinct phases:

• Red Phase: All lights start red and turn green one by one, every 24 minutes.
  This phase lasts a total of 2 hours.
  Important: Do not insert Compboards during this phase — the hangar will not open.
• Green Phase: Once all lights have turned green, they begin turning off one by one, every 12 minutes.
  This phase lasts 1 hour.
  Important: You can insert Compboards and open the hangar during this phase.
• Black Phase: After all lights are off, there is a 5-minute blackout period before the entire cycle resets to Red.
  Note: The lights may also appear black if another player has already inserted all the Compboards, triggering the door to open early.

From extensive testing during the 4.0.1 Preview, the timing cycle appears to be universal across all servers, shards, and regions.
That means you can trust the timer regardless of where you're playing — no need to visit the hangar to check its status anymore physically.

Important Details:

• Upon a new patch or possible server maintenance the timer MAY be inaccurate for a day or two. Just until I have had time myself to reset and validate the timer.
• If the hangar is blacked out while the website shows it should be in the Green Phase, it usually means another player has already opened the door. This does not affect the timer cycle itself.
• There is a known graphical bug where all lights may appear black despite no Compboards being inserted. In this case, once the next timer event triggers (light change), the lights will correctly display their intended color again.

How It Works: Self Timers

Each Contested Zone includes dedicated Self Timers to manually track individual objectives like terminals or keycards. These tools operate independently of the Executive Hangar cycle and offer fine-grained control for multi-objective runs.

• Use the + / − buttons to adjust the countdown duration before starting.
• Click Start to begin the countdown. You can click it again to restart the timer with the most recent settings.
• Use the Reset button to restore the timer to its default duration at any time.
• Timer colors reflect progress:
  • White – not yet started
  • Red – counting down
  • Yellow – under 3 minutes remaining
  • Green – timer complete
• Timers persist locally in your browser even if you leave or refresh the page.

Note: These timers are device- and browser-specific. They do not sync across sessions or users.
