Ivy and rusting ARC husks are all that's seemingly left of this underground power station

In-game description

The Controlled Access Zone is an underground power station in the north of Dam Battlegrounds, where little remains beyond overgrowth and the wrecks of ARC machines. The in-game map marks it for ARC and Mechanical loot.

In an ordinary round it holds 22 container spots, led by 8 Wasp Husks, with 3 Raider Caches, 2 Weapon Cases, 2 ARC Couriers and a Rocketeer Husk among the rest. Most are possible spots, and a round fills only some of them. ARC spawn points here include 2 Sentinels and 2 Turrets, along with a Snitch and an ARC Surveyor, though not every spawn point is used in every round. You also have 3 ziplines, 4 buttons and a Supply Call Station to work with.

The quickest way out is the North Complex Elevator, about 150 m away, with Pump House Hatch about 360 m off as a fallback. Cold Snap rounds have 8 container spots of their own here. The Dam Controlled Access Zone Key, a Rare key, opens a door inside.
