History of Scorched Earth (modifier)

Overview

Scorched Earth is a Lost Sector modifier that makes enemies throw grenades significantly more often. It is seen in Metamorphosis, the Lost Sector that is the subject of the guides consulted.

Effect

With the modifier active, grenades become a constant threat, so players usually clear the weaker enemies early with area-of-effect weapons and grenades of their own. Guides for the Lost Sector also recommend bringing Overload Grenades for the Overload Champions.

Difficulty

Blueberries lists Scorched Earth among the Master difficulty modifiers, on top of the Legend set. Other guides do not agree on whether the Legend version also carries it, so check the modifier list in-game before queuing.
