What is a raid window in Rust
In Rust, raiding another player's base is a lot easier (and safer) when its owner is offline and can't defend it live. A "raid window" is simply the stretch of time a tracked player has been offline.
How this app calculates it
OverwatchWith Overwatch enabled, the app flags a player as "in a raid window" once they've been offline for more than X minutes (you choose the threshold) -you're notified once, right as they enter the window, not repeatedly while they stay offline.
Best window prediction
OverwatchWith at least 2 days of history, the app can also predict which 4-hour block that player tends to be offline most often -useful for planning a raid ahead of time, not just reacting once they've already disconnected. See the Schedule & raid window guide.
A signal, not a guarantee
Someone being offline for a while doesn't mean their base is defenseless -they might have auto turrets, traps, or clanmates covering it. A raid window lowers the risk of them coming back mid-raid, it doesn't remove it.
