Ruins Map

==Overview==
Years after the island's rivers had filled with sand and the last semblance of civilization was bombed into oblivion, failed experiments, long forgotten, emerged from the shadows. Their blood boiled with an insatiable thirst for violence. And the island erupted into chaos once more...
Simply put, the Ruins island is a hybrid of the Desert and Woods maps. Goodies rain from the air with increased frequency thanks to an increased drop rate of Flare Guns and Strobes, Frag Grenades can be found and carried in 50% larger stacks, Grenade boxes litter the ground, and explosions constantly rock the barren wasteland. 
Weapons available on the island include an entire arsenal of Assault Rifles, a select variety of Shotguns and 40mm Grenade Launchers. Like with the Woods, most everything rare is noticeably more common on the map. Perks may also be found. One spawns with every normal Airdrop, and three perks from golden Airdrops. While Flare Guns are more common, they're not as common as on the Desert Map. Curiously, many of the rarer weapons on this map may be easier to find from basic loot drops than from Airdrops.
Above-ground may not seem like anything special, but if you check beneath your feet, you just might find that PARMA's left a few benevolent gifts for the remaining survivrs.
