Arid Timeline Doesn't Make Sense, Does it Have a Lore or Not?
There's the Soviet Army that mainly have a presence in the Middle East ( Arid ) Americans only seem to have small presence there since they're probably there to spy on the Soviets ( Fort Knell ) So it seems to be obvious, it's set in a cold war era, most weapons in Arid where made either before or during the time period of the Cold War, the Soviets are confirmed to be Russians since there's Russian writing in various places ( such as "Exit" and "AG-17" being written in Russian )

Great, everything makes sense, during the Cold War Era, Soviets had heavy presence in the middle east throughout the late stages of the Cold War, spying was a new and very common thing both USA and USSR have done to each other, great this explains everything...

So where the ♥♥♥♥ do the zombies come from if the first recording of zombies was when a bioweapon was released in Washington in 2013? Did anyone time travel? is Arid set in an alternate dimension? or do the devs just not care, tbh I'm just curious, since most maps the devs made before such as France which had a lore that fit well with the other maps like PEI, Washington, Russia, Hawaii and even the last map they made Kuwait.

Is Arid just another Elver? it just doesn't tie in with the lore at all it's just all about the vibes and fun? Since I don't get how a zombie apocalypse can happen during the Cold War then re-emerge again in the future and having literally all of the world fail to fight it off.

I have some ideas about the possible lore of Arid, that is if even if it has one.

Thanks to Chainsaw Aadvark making a theory on as to why Fort Knell is extremely "radioactive", in his theory he mentioned that the technology that exists in Fort Knell is too advanced to exist during the Cold War era, so it suggest that Fort Knell was built at recent times rather during the cold war, this could mean that Arid is set at modern times, however it still leaves the dilemma of how come where there Soviet bunkers that where still operational at modern times, they would've changed their USSR flag to the modern Russian one, there's still lots of zombies in military locations in soviet uniform and equipment, which puzzles me alot.

And Russia had plentiful of time to change and update their soviet equipment or at least most of it.

But I think the simplest theory is Ivan's which is also possibly correct, Arid is set in an alternate universe, alot like Elver is.
