Map: Buried City
An urban ruin partially swallowed by shifting earth and time. Narrow streets, collapsed buildings, and underground passages create a maze-like combat environment. Visibility is limited and ambush opportunities are everywhere, both for Raiders and ARC forces.
Navigation is the biggest challenge here. Mark your entry points and keep track of elevation changes. Underground sections can loop back on themselves. ARC Rollers are common in the tighter corridors.
