In-game description

Testing Annex is a partly flooded test facility in the south-east of Dam Battlegrounds, sitting beside the red lakes. The in-game map marks it for Commercial and Medical loot.

An ordinary round has 10 container spots here, but most are only possible spots and a round fills just some of them. Expect up to 3 Medical Bags and 3 Grenade Tubes, plus a Raider Cache, an ARC Courier and a Crashed ARC Probe. Two Turrets and an ARC Surveyor have spawn points here, though not every spawn point is used in every round. Small and large machines, both flying and ground, can turn up across the site, and which machine shows up varies from round to round. You will also run into 6 Cameras, 4 Field Crates and a Mast lift.

The Red Lakes Balcony Lift is the quickest way out, about 60 m away, with Red Lakes Hatch about 240 m off as a fallback. Cold Snap rounds bring 12 spots of their own to the Annex, while Electromagnetic Storm rounds have 2. The Dam Testing Annex Key (Rare) opens a door inside the Annex.
