Maps and Stories

The 1983 recursion led to the famous 50v50 battle. PARMA soldiers (blue) and Soviet forces (red), each empowered with the cloud, fought at the island of surviv.io. After the war, it seemed like some other interesting things happened. One of the only remains of 50v50 was the recording at the desert saloon's cellar, which speaks of a great storm. Perhaps this could imply as Storm Mode, which was a variation of the woods map. Could it be possible that trees and leaves covered the original 50v50 island? Then, as the climate changed, the island turned into a vast savanna. One interesting fact is that the Egg Bunker (Bunker No. 8) existed all the way from 50v50 to desert. This tells us that the Egg Bunker was a survival bunker constructed by PARMA.

As sands blew across the island, it eroded away the original landscape, exposing the remains of the 50v50 war. Eroded statues, a dried-up river, broken bridges, and a new desert town with lots of flares. In the desert map, perks are a lot more rare, due to that golden airdrops are very rare. Original perks in 50v50 are replaced with new ones, like Broken Arrow, Explosive Rounds, .45 ACP in the chamber, Fabricate, etc. Interestingly, the Flak Jacket perk owned by the grenadier still exists.

Few perks in the savannah still exist in Desert, but the Flak Jacket perk does not exist in the Savannah map. It seems like that PARMA decided to make some new perks in the Cloud Bunker, but still included old perks like the Flak Jacket and Endless Ammo. The cloud bunker is an unreleased bunker that only exists in the form of a crate. A savanna patch in the middle of a desert, a helmet that gives endless ammo, the cloud probably implies "a derivative from reality".

Perks continue to exist in two other modes: Potato and Cobalt. Potato mode offers potatoes, which is basically magic. Destroying a potato gives you a random weapon swap, also giving a chance to drop a perk. Getting a kill also gives you a weapon swap. The fact that it is built on the normal map implies that PARMA decided to give a little "twist" to the ordinary. Airdrops still exist, but they have a higher chance of being golden. Golden airdrops, of course, gives the potato cannon. As of the Free Fryer update, there is a new Spud Missle Generator-8, which is an interesting SMG that shoots explosive potato wedges. PARMA, congrats on recovering from the 50v50 war.
