General locations Secret locations
 * The 1st island: 20 villages, 3 cities, a fire station and a hospital.
 * The 2nd island: 15 villages, 5 cities, 2 fire stations, 2 hospitals and 3 military bases.
 * The 3rd island: 6 villages, 10 cities, 3 fire stations, 3 hospitals and 6 military bases.
 * Forests – They are very common on each island. You can find berry bushes, deer stands, old bunkers and secret locations.
 * Lakes – Sometimes lakes spawn instead of forests. You can usually find cloudberries.
 * Villages – The most common game location. Their layout may differ; may also contain different buildings (church, school, town hall, police station, gun store, etc.). Sometimes, a single water pump can be found here.
 * Fire stations – A water pump can be found here, and there is a good chance to find an axe or other useful gear.
 * Hospitals – Medicine, food, clothing and other miscellaneous gear and be found here.
 * Cities – Contains higher-level gear than villages. Cities never have water pumps.
 * Military bases – The best place to find top loot and firearms in the game. Be prepared for infected soldiers who are sure to lurk here!
 * Checkpoints – They usually spawn on crossroads. They are not highlighted on the minimap and look like regular crossroads. Infected soldiers are commonly found here.

Secret locations vary upon each island. You may have already seen some of them in screenshots (ex: radio tower or KV2 tank). On each island, 1 random secret location spawns in the forest (about 10 cases). It has a small question mark icon as the forest on the minimap. A secret location commonly never borders with any location, road or edge of the map. It is always surrounded by lakes or forest tiles.

Military crash sites

Broken military vehicles are located on random places on the map such as Humvees and helicopters (Russian Mi-8/17s to be exact). Humvees always spawn on roads and some other locations. Helicopters, on the other hand, can always be encountered in forests.


 * There is only 1 Hummer on the 1st island.
 * On the 2nd island, there are about 2 helicopters and 3 Humvees.
 * On the 3rd island, there are about 3 helicopters and 5 Humvees.

* If you find a radio, you can scan nearby locations (tiles 10x10) for those crash sites.
