  • On Asgard there's also a Rockdrake trench located on 45 50. The area is radioactive so remember to bring the hazard suit

Size[]

The Fjordur map officially spans an area over 140 square kilometers, 3.5 times that of The Island, which has an area of roughly 40 sq kilometers. The map is smaller than Ragnarok. However it contains nearly 50 cave systems, some of them very large. Additionally, there are 3 sub-maps accessible via portals. These sub maps are each have a similar setup to the domes in Extinction, or the separated biomes of Genesis Pt. 1 but do not appear on any maps. All together these additional hidden areas, while difficult to confirm exact numbers, could nearly double the map’s actual area compared to the official size.

Notes[]

  • Fjordur was originally designed as a mod map (modded Fjordur), which is still available under an agreement between Wildcard and the development team. While the two versions are similar, there are differences between them
  • Fjordur contains over 140 square kilometers of new biomes, new challenges, and rewarding discoveries!
  • Fjordur is the first free DLC to get a menu picture and custom in game theme song
    • Right now it's bugged and is the only menu picture/song
