Buried City – Easy Loot Routes for Early Gear (No PvP Required)

Buried City is still one of the most consistent maps for gearing up if you stop trying to do everything in one run.

This guide focuses on low-risk, repeatable loot spots you can hit reliably — whether you’re new, solo, or just trying to stabilize gear.

What this route covers

Weapon Cases

Reliable spawns that are quick to check and easy to disengage from. Great for early weapons, attachments, and safe upgrades.

Med Crates

Often overlooked but extremely valuable. Knowing where these are lets you extend raids without gambling fights.

Security Breach Locations

Only worth doing when the area is already quiet. These are efficiency plays, not objectives you force.

Fruit & Provision Spawns

Underrated and extremely useful, especially for longer routes or back-to-back raids.

Dangerous Arc Zones

High reward, high punishment. These areas demand patience, awareness, and clean exits — not speed.

Route philosophy (this matters more than locations)

• Hit 2–3 strong locations, then rotate out

• Avoid clearing buildings just because you’re there

• Audio matters more than visuals on this map

• If an area feels empty, assume someone is holding it

Consistency beats greed every time.

Who this route is best for

• New Raiders learning map flow

• Solo players avoiding unnecessary PvP

• Duos looking to build gear without attracting attention

This post is paired with visual guides showing exact locations and safer approaches. Those are posted separately to keep things clear and readable.

If you’ve discovered alternate spawns, safer paths, or better rotations — share them below. That’s how this place stays useful.
