Primary Facility is a named place in the middle of Dam Battlegrounds, with Control Tower and Research & Administration each about 120 m away and Floodgates about 160 m off. The in-game map marks it for Industrial and Mechanical loot.

In an ordinary round it has 12 container spots, among them 3 Ammo Boxes, 3 Worn Backpacks, 2 Raider Caches, 2 ARC Couriers, a Weapon Case and a Crashed ARC Probe. Most are possible spots, and a round fills only some of them. A Sentinel and a Turret each have a spawn point here, though not every spawn point is used in every round, and small flying machines, large ground machines and small ground machines can all turn up, with the machine varying from round to round. There are also 5 Field Crates, a Supply Call Station and a Zipline.

The nearest way out is the Water Treatment Elevator, about 160 m away. Cold Snap rounds bring 15 container spots of their own, and Lush Blooms rounds have 4.
