A water tower standing in the heart of House Camp. The surrounding area has transformed into a Cold Zone, creating a natural barrier that keeps most survivors at bay. Skinwalker saw potential in this hazardous location and claimed it as one of his testing grounds. Those seeking to prove their endurance to the Resistance must face his challenge here – to rise above the cold and prove they have what it takes to survive.
In-game journal
Water Tower is an exploration zone on the in-game map: a lone tower at the centre of House Camp. The ground around it sits inside a Cold Zone, and the cold is enough to turn most people away. Skinwalker has taken the spot over and runs a trial here. Anyone who wants to earn the Resistance's respect has to hold out against the freezing conditions at this site.
Frozen bodies are the most common container, with 16 of them. Alongside them you can search 5 Damaged Cars, Suitcases, Toolboxes and 3 Insulated Crates. There are 14 Rock Boulders to mine, plenty of pallets to break, and 3 Sleeping bags. Recipe notes here teach the Basket Brazier and the Scrap Shiv.
Church is the nearest safe zone, about 150 m away in a straight line, and Fast Travel: Church is about 170 m off. The Improvised Radio Tower is about 100 m away and The Crater's Military Convoy about 130 m.
