The wide open classic: long sightlines across the dam crest, cramped fights in the galleries beneath it. Most raids die in the transition between the two.

Route counsel

• Work the edges first; the open crest is where rookies donate their kit.
• Interior galleries pay better and fight smaller — clear by sound, not by sight.
• Third parties hear every fight on the crest. Win fast or do not start.

Bring

• A long glass for the crest and a close answer for the galleries — this is the one region where carrying both is not greed.
• Mobility over plate. The dam punishes anyone too heavy to cross open ground between covers.
• One quiet weapon per squad. Loud is a billboard here.

A city swallowed by sand: tight streets, collapsed interiors, rooftops that see everything. The best loot sits where the ARC patrol routes cross.

Route counsel

• Rooftops are the highway; streets are the toll road. Travel high, loot low, leave fast.
• Interiors muffle sound — clear corners like you mean it.
• Wasp packs own the open plazas. Cross them sprinting or not at all.

Bring

• Close quarters first: shotgun class or a fast SMG kit. The city rarely gives you a fight past thirty meters.
• Grenades earn double here — collapsed rooms turn every doorway into a choke.
• Light armor, fast hands. The city rewards raiders who leave before the argument starts.

The richest ground and the most contested: huge facility interiors, vertical catwalks, and ARC presence that treats the place like home. High traffic, high pay.

Route counsel

• The big halls are loot rich and ambush rich in equal measure. Take a wall, never the middle.
• Catwalks give vision and give you away — silhouette discipline matters.
• ARC patrols here hit harder and arrive faster. Budget ammunition for two fights you did not plan.

Bring

• The heaviest kit you can run honestly. Spaceport fights go long and reward staying power.
• An anchor: one squadmate built around a shield or a heavy gun changes every interior fight.
• Medical depth over snacks. You will be trading, not avoiding.
