The frozen north
Plan stops across tundra routes, abandoned settlements, mining camps, bunkers, ruined strongholds, underground vaults, and modular dungeons. Each location can trade warmth and time for supplies, weapons, Relics, or a safer route onward.
Updated October 8, 2026 · Nine location types
Expanded biomeThe tundra is the game's principal open frozen biome. The May 2026 update reported that it had been expanded for further exploration.
Relic expeditionsDungeons use modular construction and were overhauled with updated lighting. They are a known source of Relics, and the April test brief explicitly included early-game dungeon raids.
Scavenging sitesThe official store description identifies abandoned settlements and wreckage as exploration and scavenging spaces.
Press-kit stop typesThe July 2026 Closed Beta press kit says crews stop at remnants of civilization, including old mining camps and villages, to forage for food and materials.
High-reward interiorsThe same Closed Beta press copy says subterranean vaults hide powerful weapons and rewards. Treat this as a location type, not as a loot table or named vault list.
Enclosed locationDerelict bunkers are one of the known location types encountered beyond the rails.
High-risk ruinsRuined strongholds and frozen ruins are named world features, but the developers have not yet disclosed their final map placement or reward structure.
Branching journey northThe journey advances north through connected levels. Crews can switch tracks, clear obstacles, and choose among exits or tunnels leading onward.
3 areasThe official Next Fest demo graphic lists three explorable areas plus train operation, scavenging, crafting, and Revenant combat.
