Overview

Buried City is a sprawling map with half buried skyscrapers, collapsed highways, and underground metro tunnels. Mixed white, orange, and red zones make it versatile for all playstyles. The Underground Metro provides hidden routes across the map. Unlocked after 8 rounds.

Loot Strategy

Hospital has the highest tier loot on the map in a red zone. Town Hall offers high rarity loot across three floors. Library is a good early raid staging area with consistent electronic spawns. Plaza Rosa and Grandioso Apartments provide safer medium rarity loot. The Underground Metro train cars contain weapon parts and crafting materials.

Extraction

Three extraction points: Northern Extraction (low traffic), Eastern Helipad (primary, high visibility), and Southern Tunnel Exit (stealthier but vulnerable approach). Choose based on where the action is concentrated.
