Frozen City

The buried ruins — highest-value salvage and the highest risk, all in one contested district.

Threats
  • — Hostile factions in deep districts
  • — Structural collapse inside ruins
  • — Frostbite during long indoor runs
Salvage focus
  • — Fragile pre-Shattering technology
  • — Generator parts
  • — Advanced salvage

What Frozen City is

The Frozen City is the central ruined hub: official copy describes "city ruins fading into wilderness" and a progression built on restoring abandoned shelters and repairing broken machines. This is where the loop pays out biggest.

Deeper districts are framed as faction-controlled, so the richest salvage sits where the exposure bill is highest and someone else already calls it theirs.

Unconfirmed. Frozen City is tagged official — reported from official trailers and community coverage, not yet verified in the shipped build. Open questions:
  • — Full district count
  • — Which faction holds the core
  • — Whether the city is one map or several
