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.

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.".

- "Wasteland Serenade" used to play from the big boombox in Kana'an Madraj, it was removed however, due to players' complaints.
