The entire eastern region of Verdansk is mainly given over to agricultural and lumber farming, as well as the main sea port. But journey further south through East Sector, and the formidable walls of the Zordaya Prison Complex loom into view.  

Segmented by the main divided highway to the west, the mountains along the eastern perimeter, and partially bisected by the frozen Karst River, the East Sector of Verdansk contains both a variety of topography and settlement types. Begin in the north, close to the Karst River and its eponymous Quarry, and you encounter the relatively rural Bloc 18; a village either side of the frozen waterway. This gives way to woodland and a large-scale Lumber Yard, run by the Gorengard company. Further south is the large-scale arable Krovnik Farmland, with mainly fruit and crops grown, though there are the remains of livestock still rotting in the fields. The rural landscape quickly changes to industrial docks within the once-bustling City of Verdansk Port. Finally, looming over Verdansk from its coastal cliff promontory, is the castle-like Zordaya Prison Complex where you’ll find for your life in the feared Gulag.

Pro Tips

Run the Course

Tip #166

Run the Course

SECTOR 1: VERDANSK NORTH ZONE 1C: ARKLOV PEAK MILITARY BASE

Craving some close-quarters combat? Coax the enemy team to meet you in the Training Course, which is fairly cluttered and complex for being such a small footprint in Verdansk. Just watch out for any operators who may be refereeing from the watchtower.

Warehouse Network

Tip #243

Warehouse Network

SECTOR 5: VERDANSK EAST ZONE 5B: GORENGARD LUMBER YARD

The trio of Lumber Yard Warehouses is filled with loot but can be tricky to navigate. If you get lost, remember where the main open bridge is – towards the east – and make your way over there.

To Loot or Not to Loot… (Probably Loot)

Tip #160

To Loot or Not to Loot… (Probably Loot)

SECTOR 1: VERDANSK NORTH ZONE 1B: BLOC 23, JARVDINSK SPOMENIK, RIVERSIDE

The hamlets that make up the far northwest side of Verdansk are far from densely populated areas, making them hidden gems for finding untouched Supply Boxes. Beware, however: given its place on the map, it may not be a viable looting place during other games and only for Plunder.

Over the River and Through the Woods

Tip #176

Over the River and Through the Woods

SECTOR 1: VERDANSK NORTH ZONE 1E: CRASH SITE, LOZOFF PASS, BLOC 14, BLOC 15, WHP CAMP

Grandma’s House may feel familiar to some, and with that comes a tip they know too well: check its attic, as it may have a squad taking a breather in here after looting around the Quarry or Lozoff Pass.

Picking Up Scraps in the Scrapyard

Tip #197

Picking Up Scraps in the Scrapyard

SECTOR 2: VERDANSK WEST ZONE 2H: ZHOKOV BONEYARD

Scrapyard will be familiar ground for Call of Duty veterans, which may make it a hotly contested area if it is part of the safe area. Prepare for close quarters combat within the fuselages, warehouses, and office… And don’t forget to check the catwalk of Scrapyard Warehouse 3, one that’s been a notorious sniper perch for decades.

Towers of Power

Tip #167

Towers of Power

SECTOR 1: VERDANSK NORTH ZONE 1C: ARKLOV PEAK MILITARY BASE

The two Comms Towers are the highest points within the Military Base area. Although they come with a bit of risk, snipers who want to scout ahead for their squad should definitely put both of these points of interest on their radar.

Ammo Reserves

Tip #152

Ammo Reserves

Tac Map: Atlas

All Police Stations and Guns and Ammo Stores in Verdansk still have active ammo cache. Interacting with one will refill the ammunition type of the weapons you currently have on you, although this can only be done once per ammo cache.

Planned Community Apartments

Tip #210

Planned Community Apartments

SECTOR 3: VERDANSK SOUTHWEST ZONE 3C: BARAKETT PROMENADE WEST

Because the various apartment buildings within the Barakett Promenade look the same, your squad may be confused if you tell them you are “in an apartment.” So, it may be good to ping the exact area you are in, or use the compass or surrounding points of interest as guideposts.

Loot the Campers

Tip #178

Loot the Campers

SECTOR 1: VERDANSK NORTH ZONE 1E: CRASH SITE, LOZOFF PASS, BLOC 14, BLOC 15, WHP CAMP

WHP tents are usually stocked with loot, so a whole camp in rural Verdansk can be an oasis amid the snowy mountainous forest. Come here for the items and stay for the potential close quarters combat between the tents.

Boneyard: Far From Bone Dry

Tip #196

Boneyard: Far From Bone Dry

SECTOR 2: VERDANSK WEST ZONE 2H: ZHOKOV BONEYARD

From the hangers to the numerous broken planes, the Boneyard has no shortage of loot despite being a dumping ground for scrap metal. Follow your Tac Map to see where Contract drops are and be meticulous when exploring the area to find some serious loot.
