The Desert Map
Being entirely a desert rather than an island surrounded by water, water collection becomes a more challenging obstacle. Natural water sources are rare, requiring the collection of water from other sources, such as Cactus Sap (Scorched Earth) cactus, Water Well (Scorched Earth) water wells, Jug Bug, or Morellatops. Heat stroke is a potential side effect of too much heat exposure, having a similar effect to being Beer Liquid drunk. Also the naturally harsh environment damages generators and certain structures.
Scorched Earth has three unique weather patterns: Sandstorms radically reduce visibility and drain stamina, Superheat will drain your water at a much faster rate than normal heat and induce Heat Stroke fairly quickly, while electrical storms will temporarily shut down electrical devices and prevent firearms (and Tek Saddles) from firing. The Electrical Generator and the Chemistry Bench will not turn off if the item Structures are covered.
Superheat can be quickly stopped if you go very close to the Oasis. Desert Goggles and Hat (Scorched Earth) can be used to see better during sandstorms.
