Low level radiation permeates this area, though Burning Sands is not nearly as deadly as the Atomic Wasteland to the north, where most of the government’s nuclear tests were performed in the 1950s. Nonetheless, prolonged exposure to the radiation in this area is not recommended, as PRIMUS has already seen deleterious effects and diminished mental capacity in some of their soldiers stationed to Burning Sands. If you experience nausea or vertigo, it is recommended you leave Burning Sands immediately.
