Maps & Locations
Where you survive matters as much as how. These guides rate towns by danger, loot quality and beginner viability — and tell you where to actually put your base.
Rosewood Low
Rosewood is where most survivors should start, and there is no shame in that.
Muldraugh Moderate
Muldraugh is the classic survival proving ground — strung along a highway, generous with loot, unforgiving of laziness.
West Point High
West Point is loot heaven and a beginner graveyard in the same breath.
Riverside Low
Riverside is the quiet, water-adjacent town that rewards survivors who think in months, not days.
Louisville Extreme
Louisville is where overconfidence goes to die.
Best Base Locations Varies
A great base is not the prettiest house — it is the one with water, fuel, fences and a way out.
