Abstract
We describe the status of the ATLAS Forward Proton (AFP) detectors in Run-2 and the outlook for Run-3 analyses. The performance is discussed. This includes the Tracking and Time-of-Flight detectors, the luminosity, the alignment, the trigger, and data quality monitoring. Additionally, key physics results from the first AFP analyses are showcased.
