In-game description
Electromagnetic Storm is a map condition with a difficulty of 4 of 5. Lightning hammers the map throughout the storm, damaging electronics, throwing ARC machines off and striking any Raider who gets caught by it. Fewer return points are active, and Raider Hatches do not work at all, so you have to leave by another return point. In exchange, the loot you find is worth more.
Storm rounds on Dam Battlegrounds and The Blue Gate have 56 spots that exist only while the condition is running. Dam Battlegrounds has 18 Crashed ARC Probe spots and 17 ARC Courier spots, while The Blue Gate has 14 Crashed ARC Probe spots and 7 ARC Courier spots. On Dam Battlegrounds, Hydroponic Dome Complex and Small Creek each hold 2 Crashed ARC Probe spots, and Ben Welder's Sunroof has 1.
