Storm | Information about the game world Mad Max Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
When traveling through the Wasteland, you might be surprised by a storm. During storm you have limited visibility and you are vulnerable to constant danger. You can hide from the storm in a freed camp or a stronghold. However, once the storm starts, you must reach a safe spot on your own (quick travel option will be locked). If you remain in the vehicle, you will be constantly hit by flying metal scraps, in worst case you can even be hit by a lightning.
In summary, a storm is dangerous as it can quickly destroy your vehicle (at least early in the game) or kill Max himself. Hide from the storm in a freed camp or in the stronghold.
One thing makes it profitable to risk the dangers and ride through the storm. During it, large chests appear in various places. If you locate one (they will be marked on the minimap), try to catch it with the harpoon before the wind will drag it away. Such chest can be opened (you risk when you leave the car), it is rewarded with three scrap parts, each gives you 100 pieces of it. It means that a single chest is worth more than 300 pieces of scrap (depending on the bonus coming from the skills). Because of that, sometimes it is worth risking and searching for a precious cargo during the storm.
If during the storm you hid in a safe spot, you still can find precious chest. You still have some time to find chests near your location, this time with no risk. However, you must hurry, as later the chests will disappear.
