Arid is a curated playable map in Unturned. Arid takes place in a mostly desert landscape, broken up by some patches of green, thin forests.
The map was created by Maciej "Renaxon" Maziarz, Daniel "Danaby2" and Dug. It was released on December 16th, 2021. The map's creators can be supported by purchasing the Arid Map Mystery Box, Arid Map Bundle, Arid Scout Bundle, or Arid Tourist Bundle. On March 3rd, 2023, Version 2.0 was released. Arid became much greener and two new locations, Sa'id Palace and Point Lima, were added.
The map's creators collaborated on the map's development with—or gave special thanks to—AnimaticFreak, Rolling Chair, Magical Burrito, Timo987, staswalle, NSTM, Adrian "SirAdy Unleashed", Ethan "Vilespring" Lossner and NuclearPotato.
Largest and main city, located in the center of the map. Features various sub-locations such as a hospital, a gas station, a construction site, mechanic shop and residential houses. An abandoned compound in the city is the only place where you can use a Horde Beacon.
Place dedicated for fishing, featuring a small hut with a radio on top of a pier, as well as a bus that allows for instant travel to and from the safezone.
The voiceline that plays in Abu Al Kaba'er was provided by AnimaticFreak and roughly translates to "EMERGENCY! An epidemiological threat has been received. If you are in the area of the city, prepare immediately for possible evacuation. Listen for instructions from police and local authorities and follow them quickly and carefully. End of message.".
A couple of different items are also SYNTHETIK references, such as Hyper Adrenaline or Hyper Velocity Ammunition, as well as the overall appearance of AG-19.
The Sa'id Palace is loosely inspired by the real-life Tajbeg Palace.
"Wasteland Serenade" used to play from the big boombox in Kana'an Madraj, it was removed however, due to players' complaints.
