Amidst the sand dunes in this arid wasteland you will find a remnant of the old world quite unlike the cold steel spires of the Exodus age. Walk these narrow streets and empty plazas, and know that people once lived here.
In-game description
Buried City is a desert town half sunk beneath drifting sand, a place of homes, streets and public squares that once held ordinary lives, far removed from the towering metal structures of later times. It sits at difficulty 3 of 5 and spreads across 30 named places, with 8 return points for getting out.
The town holds 287 loot container spots, though a round fills only some of them. Wasp Husks are the most common find, followed by Worn Backpacks, Grenade Tubes and Ammo Boxes. Piazza Arbusto is the richest stop with 33 container spots, well ahead of Town Hall at 20, Santa Maria Houses at 19 and West Village at 18.
ARC can turn up in 143 areas, and which machine shows up varies from round to round. Turrets have the most spawn points of their own at 20, with ARC Surveyors at 12, Sentinels at 11, Snitches at 9 and ARC Turbines at 8. Your way out is split evenly between 4 Raider Hatches and 4 Metro stations. Cold Snap brings 241 spots of its own here, while Husk Graveyard, Lush Blooms, Uncovered Caches, Bird City, Hurricane and Close Scrutiny each have their own.

Return points on Buried City
| Name | Type | Nearest named place | In-game description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Train Station Hatch | Raider Hatch | Marano Station | An old access hatch near the train station. Last stop. |

| Northern Station | Metro station | Library | The Nuovo Distretto station is the best preserved of the old metro stations. |
