Desert

An arid biome where heat and sandstorms make water and shelter especially important.

Biomes differ in hazards and weather. Biome progression, temperature and storms depend on world settings. Read the active effect before entering.

Temporary protection

With biome progression enabled, use this before the trip or before protection expires. One dose adds 5 minutes to this biome’s protection timer, capped at 15 minutes. Basic survival time without gear is 3 minutes. Watch the effect timer; shelter or leaving the biome lets protection recover.

Permanent protection

Equip the matching gear in the biome equipment slot on the character screen. Carrying it in your backpack does not protect you. Equipped gear removes this biome hazard’s time limit, but does not protect against temperature, storms or attacks.

Required biome challenges

Complete all 7 survival challenges for this biome and claim the group reward in the challenges screen. This unlocks the gear recipe. Then craft it with the listed ingredients and equip it. Another player who has unlocked the recipe can also craft the gear for you.
