Chapter 1: Prison Break

Chapter 1: Prison Break introduces players to critical locations within the Zone of Contamination, including Boss's Settlement and Forgotten Exploration. Success in this chapter relies on understanding the environment, utilizing available resources, and identifying safe havens. Strategic exploration of these areas is key to advancing the narrative.

Boss's Settlement, also known as Boss's Encampment, is a collection of ruined buildings high in the mountains near Idle Camp, within the Zone of Contamination. It comprises 3 ruined buildings and an intact shed. While the settlement itself offers no true shelter, the Scaffolder's Hideout, a Warm Cave, is accessible via a short walk across a wooden bridge. Wildlife such as Ptarmigans and Rabbits can be found here, and loot containers are scattered throughout the ruined structures. A vista location is also present at the cliff side overlooking the railroad.

Forgotten Exploration is a mine located in the Zone of Contamination, positioned between Turbulent Pasture and Harrowed Residence. This location provides a warm interior, making it suitable for resting outdoors with a Bedroll. Inside the mine, players can gather Coal, Scrap Metal, Lockers, and Reclaimed Wood. An Emergency Kit may appear in the easternmost section of the mine, within a large room featuring a single column, after ascending the scaffolding.
