The Woods

Dense cover — the safest place to shelter, the worst place to see danger coming.

Threats
  • — Close-range wildlife
  • — Reduced visibility
  • — Getting lost between landmarks
Salvage focus
  • — Hides and furs
  • — Wood
  • — Hunting materials

What The Woods is

The Woods is reported as the wooded biome where cover is plentiful and sightlines are not. Official copy names "frozen woods" as wildlife habitat, so encounters concentrate here.

It is the dog’s best biome: the companion scouts ahead where your own eyes stop at the treeline.

Unconfirmed. The Woods is tagged reported — reported from official trailers and community coverage, not yet verified in the shipped build. Open questions:
  • — Species list and densities
  • — Whether the woods connect to Hunters Glade
  • — Night behaviour of wildlife
