Kernsto Highlands (Vanilla & NPCs)

Kernsto Highlands Introduction

Kernsto Highlands is a Medium sized Survival map created with immense detail in all locations. Containing a very limited amount of vehicles of any kind, this map forces players to plan ahead when thinking about travelling between locations. The Highlands are the perfect environment for dangerous and passive wildlife, including deer, farm life, wolves and bears. Bicycles and boats can rarely be found, yet no other vehicles will appear on the map - bar the rare occasion of finding a tractor.

Eventually having the items to craft a makeshift vehicle should be considered a benchmark in your experience, and building a base to protect said vehicle is recommended as vehicles will be extremely sought after in Kernsto.

This map, fit with a huge, top security penitentiary, a massive suburban city and more, brings a whole new style of survival to Unturned. Looting trips will be exclusive to very few locations as the distance between the major locations will be a detriment to your time and nutrition. Base building has never been so welcomed by any map, the vast amount of foliage and spare land highly encourages base building - either inside a major location or out in the wilderness shrouded by trees. This map also uses custom GPS and Chart images for further realism and cinematography. Such charts can help players locate airdrops and hidden locations through scribbles left by the former owner.

A Couple Features Worth Mentioning

- Airdrops, easily located using a chart. Many different drop locations. - Custom GPS and Chart images. - Map is built to encourage a certain advancement in the player's experience - work up from the bottom. - Beautifully detailed locations and environment
