In-game description

Control Tower is a named spot in the middle of Dam Battlegrounds, sitting over the Admin building and giving a clear view across the surrounding battlefield. Research & Administration is about 80 m away. The in-game map marks it for Security and Technological loot.

In an ordinary round there are 7 container spots: two Ammo Boxes, two Containers, a Weapon Case, a Medical Bag and a Worn Backpack. Most are possible spots, and a round fills only some of them. Snitches and an ARC Surveyor can spawn here, though not every spawn point is used each round, and there is ground for small flying and small ground machines, with which machine shows up varying from round to round. You will also find a Supply Call Station, a Zipline, a Camera and a Field Crate.

The nearest way out is Red Lakes Hatch, a Raider Hatch about 240 m away, with the Water Treatment Elevator at about 270 m. Cold Snap rounds have 5 container spots of their own here and Lush Blooms rounds have 2. The Dam Control Tower Key, an Epic item, opens a door into the tower.
