A massive crater formed by the impact of a moon fragment. The crater is filled with strange but valuable moon debris. However, the extreme cold makes it a perilous place to explore, with only the most prepared daring to venture into its frozen depths.
In-game journal
Crater is a scavenging area on the Permafrost map: a huge pit left where a piece of the moon struck the ground. Valuable lunar fragments are scattered across it, but the cold there is severe, so only go in well equipped.
Moonrock Boulder is the most common resource around Crater, with 13 spots, alongside 11 Copper Boulder and 5 Gold Boulder spots. For loot, the area has 8 Frozen body spots, 6 Insulated Crates and 3 Military crates. Crater also holds the recording Ladders 101: Message from the boss.
The nearest fast travel post is Fast Travel: Horizon, about 280 m away in a straight line, and the Church safe zone is about the same distance off. The Crater's Military Convoy is about 70 m away, Rift Cave about 120 m, Woodcutters Outpost about 140 m and Landscar Cave about 170 m.
