A fortified checkpoint, formerly manned by soldiers protecting the Slumber Project. Today stands as a grim reminder of pre-Permafrost times, with collapsed barricades and frozen bodies. Those who search carefully might still find valuable items left behid by military.
In-game journal
Bunker Checkpoint is an exploration zone on the road from the first base in the Woods to Hunter's Glade. Soldiers once held this post to guard the Slumber Project. Its defences are now in ruins and its dead lie frozen, but a careful search still turns up gear the military left behind.
On the ground floor, break the Wooden pallets with an axe to reach a walled yard holding a Military crate and 2 Lockers. A locked Suitcase lies on the office floor and opens with a shiv in your hand. The office desk carries a Recording, The Night of Crystal Moonlight, and a Recipe note. The recipe notes here teach Moon Cult Pants and the Refined Flint Pickaxe. A Medical Supply Box sits in the upper corridor. Around the checkpoint you can also find Moonrock Boulders, Damaged Vans and Red Deer.
Fast Travel: Horizon is about 200 m away in a straight line, and the Horizon safe zone is about 230 m off. Landscar Cave, Nomad Camp, Military Area and Bone Cave all lie close by. The side quest Into the Dark has an objective that names Bunker Checkpoint.
