Vortex Gaming

ARK's first DLC, Scorched Earth, has been reborn through the hands of mod developers. This Reborn version is treated as a separate map from the original Scorched Earth, requiring a fresh start, but it's well worth the exploration. This video introduces all the new elements of Scorched Earth Reborn and shows you why you should return to the desert.

· Salt Grove: Located in the eastern region, characterized by white sand and unique rock formations. Features many Deinonychus packs and nest spawns.
· Titan Boneyard: Situated in the northeast, an impressive graveyard of giant bones. Rich in metal resources.
· Kraken (Tentative Name): A hidden oasis in the north-central area, with dense fog making visibility difficult, but it seems suitable for base building.
· Wyvern Trench: Located in the west, now darker and more dangerous, covered in black sand and rocks. Gas vents and new exploration elements have been added.
· Sulfur Fields: Found in the southeast, a new area that blends naturally with the existing environment. Pyromanes and Limphers appear frequently along with sulfur.
· Lightning Wyvern Cave: A massive cave system found east of the Sulfur Fields, containing Lightning Wyvern nests and eggs, as well as Alpha Lightning Wyverns.
