Dam Battlegrounds

Field notes

The first playable map and the game's starter zone (difficulty 2/5, no unlock requirement, 30-minute rounds). A massive, crumbling hydroelectric dam — the Alcantara Power Plant — splits a landscape of battle-scarred swampland and dense forest, with hardy vegetation reclaiming the toxic, waterlogged ground. Update 1.17.0 added the Controlled Access Zone, a high-value loot area gated by a cooperative puzzle: power a lock room with a fuel cell, hit four switches nearly simultaneously (doable with three players and a Snap Hook), then feed randomized items into an electrical panel to open the final loot room. Large ARC such as Bastions, Bombardiers and Leapers patrol its open areas, and the Queen (Harvester) and Matriarch conditions rotate here.
