This blue Fisherman’s Car is parked on a parking strip next to the road. If we walk NE towards the coastline then we find the fishing spot of the car’s owner. However, the fisherman is not there. I called out, but no answer.



spacer2

This car has Skies, a Gunbox, an Ammo box and some other stuff on the roof. Set for survival in the snowy mountains, I guess.

Another three-wheeled car this time at Alnästet.

This burning car, is really depicting the drama of people trying to get to safety. Away from the horrors of a brutal hostile occupation. They didn’t make it.

Look at that car(go), it’s on fire!

Watch out for dead trees

Watch out for fallen trees!

The resistance followed Calle’s idea, but instead of a truck they armored a Björk.

Two Iron Church cars with weights in them. (Fitness site Farmlands)



spacer2

Scene: Burning Car with two dead Armored Soviets. They most likely used this car to get about, but were attacked by FNIX machines and killed. Wouldn’t it be nice if it had Soviet Markings? I added the star to promote a Soviet car. (-1525, -2489)


spacer2

People pack the strangest items when they are in blind survival mode. I wonder what is in the bag. Venison?



spacer2

Knarrebo: How about taking a bent and broken bike with you as well as a painting? Never know when that will come handy to survive? :thinking:


spacer2

Accidents can lead to flying wheels through a window!

Or involve running over parked bicycles in Himarvet.

There’s not much to go on for now, maybe if we find more lore. Only thing I can think of is that they might be other planned (or discarded) Soviet Landing-zones.

FYI, and pleasure, I documented new pictures and edited some removals in the game, in the routes: 2, 4, 6, 7, 10, 16, 17, 20

The Mountain Eye, and the Dig Hole are no longer places you can find in the game. :slightly_frowning_face:

Route 21: Red Lights Locations - Click here

In the world of Generation Zero there are locations that are illuminated with mysterious Red Lights. The first thing that someone said about the location with the curtains and red lights that it could be a version of a brothel or gentlemens club. Another suggested a darkroom for developing Photo’s. But I don’t think any of these fits the bill. What exactly the Devs had in mind is yet another topic for speculation.

But then there was the idea of @NJR87 who thinks it’s an easter-egg resembling “the red room” from the 1990s series Twin Peaks. This red room is also known as “the waiting room”.
The locations with the curtains and easy chairs do look like leasure rooms, so this could well be a reference to Twin Peaks. Let’s ask the devs! @Avalanche_Pontus

Mean while I will document any new location found in future updates.


On the end of the street in Tornberget there’s a House and next to it a cabin, both are illuminated red at night. The cabin is locked, but the house is open.

East of Villa Broskulla just over the border on a hill in Forest Region we find another Red Lights Cabin and a Caravan. Both illuminated red at night.

Then we have two locations which seems to belong to the resistance, but are also illuminated red. Both have the same clue wall with maps, photo’s and documents linked together with red thread and pins.

Scenic summer bike rides in Ostertorn.

Experience the warm temperatures and cool breezes rustling the multi coloured leaves of tall trees on either side of the bicycle track. See the blue sky and dappled sunlight and red optics of a military grade hunter as you ride by…

Ahhh Ostertorn…

@Gysbert could you do a root of all of the Soviet camps?

Sure, I will see what I can do. Do you mean all places with soviet presence or only these camps camp ?

Either is fine. It would just be nice to see all the Soviet installations.

Soviet Camps

Route 23: Soviet Camps - Click here

The Soviet Camps have interesting names, and I will try to give as much info I can find on them. If you have better ideas please let me know.

So far we can find 12 Soviet Camps / Bases / Outposts with this icon camp


Amurskijj Tigr Outpost

This Soviet Outpost is named after the Siberian tiger or Amur tiger and is native to the eastern part of the USSR. The outpost is located North of Garphammar in the Marshlands.


Trivia: Triangle bullet arrangement fount in Soviet tent
spacer2


Babaroga Outpost

The name of this Soviet Outpost may come from old slavic folklore and means “Old witch” or “Old woman with horns”. The outpost is located North of Stenbacka in the North Coast. At this outpost you can find 7 Soviet EMP holders, each containing a small EMP. They are easiest collected at night because the Soviet holders they are in, are flashing a bluish-green light. When picked up you only get the EMP device, not the holders.

At night Soviet EMP holder flashing.

Bukavac Outpost

This Outpost is named after a "demonic mythical creature in Slavic mythology. It is believed to be a six-legged and horned monster. The outpost is located South of Jarvhålan in North Coast. One of the tents is a medical tent and has a Soviet star on it.



Bukavac Outpost is close to Tatiana’s hideout. Most likely Tatiana’s leg was amputated in this tent by the FNIX machine. We find a pair of small sized boots on the ground and a lot of blood on the foot end of the bed. A hacksaw and bloody knife on the table.
spacer2

Buryjj Medvet Base Camp

This Base Camp’s name means ‘Brown Bear’. It’s located West of the Skvadern Bunker in the Marshlands.


Trivia: Greek-Cross bullet arrangement fount in Soviet tent

Chjornyjj Kaban Outpost

This Soviet Outpost’s name means ‘Black Boar’. It’s located East of Norrmyra in the Marshlands.

Ekebygården

Before the Soviets occupied Ekebygården it was a Swedish Fishing & Outdoor activities center. It’s located West of Arkelstorp Lighthouse in the North Coast.


spacer2


Seryjj Volk Base Camp

This Base Camp is named after the ‘Grey Wolf’ (E.g. like in the fairytale Seryi Volk & Krasnaya Shapochka (Little Red Riding Hood). The Base Camp is located South of Borgakulan in the Marshlands.


Trivia: Square bullet arrangement fount in Soviet tent

Soviet Command Quarters

This Soviet Camp is located within the walls of Hagaboda city and has it’s Command quarters set up in a local house, a stone’s throw away from the eastern wall. (First seen with New dawn)


spacer2


Soviet Recon Camp

As the name is implying this Camp is set up by Soviet Reconnaissance Scouts for military observation of the Östertörn area and to locate or ascertain strategic enemy activities. The Camp is located in the woods on higher ground south of the Myrdalen Water Tower in the Marshlands.


spacer2


Soviet Research Lab

In this Lab the Soviet scientists did research on Ticks, probably to find out what made them tick. The lab is located within the Hagaboda city walls, just north of Alby Church.


spacer2


Soviet Trenches

The Soviet Trenches are located east of the St. Anna Church ruins, where FNIX has established a Data Centre.


spacer2

Dear lord @Gysbert how did you do this so fast? I asked you yesterday if you could make a route. Good job man. Im going to go find all of these tonight.

It’s not ready yet, need more pictures and gather some info.

:sweat_smile:
I almost would have said that you already have screenshots of everything (including coordinates and a describtion of what is seen) which is in your map and that you just have to put them together. :wink:

That’s not how I work. :coffee: I love these travel-assignments, because they give me a goal to travel the GZ-world on foot with the chance to find new things not yet seen before. I do have a lot of pictures, but they are most of the time not what I need. Heck even those that I just made I probably replace with nice weather ones.

But it’s always night, misty, or snowing when I need clear pictures. :joy:

Ok, what about this, as I haven’t seen such a route yet…

Could you make a hike route for trails?
In some of the last updates they were added at several places. I don’t know, but is the one at the starting location new with Dark Skies?

I take this as example for what I mean with trails. It leads to a small camp with tents next to Yttervik.

Yes, I know these trails well. I added them to the map too. But yes, these hike-trails with the Infartmarkörs would make a nice route. :coffee:

Bullet Doodles & Placings

Route 24: Bullet Doodles & Placings - Click here

We have first seen Bullet placings on a map in a house in Dyvik, where the bullets were used as markers on the map.


spacer2
And here a random placement of bullets on caravan table at Måsskär.


spacer2

And here some shotgun shells, next to, and in the weapon crate


spacer2

A spray of Runner bullets and blood on the floor at Hakan Pettersson’s place.

spacer2

But since the involvement of the soviets it seems that they love to play around with bullet casings, making various shapes as way of passing the time when doing mind-numbing tasks, like e.g. listening to military radio chatter.


Triangle Configuration

This single Triangle shape is found at Amurskijj Tigr Outpost.


spacer2


Square Configuration

Here I made a close up of a square Shape which is found at the Seryjj Volk Base Camp.


spacer2
Here three sets of bullet squares on the lookout tower in South-east Marshlands.

spacer2


Six-sided Configuration

This shape is not exactly a regular Hexagon, not all sides have the same numbers of bullets. It is found at Chjornyjj Kaban Outpost.


spacer2


Greek Cross Configuration

A single Greek Cross shape is found at Buryjj Medved Base Camp, and also one at the hidden FNIX Outpost.


spacer2


Heart Configuration

The Heart shape is found on two different locations. One at the Hidden FNIX Outpost (doodled by Tatiana), and one in a tent at Landing Zone Boris.


spacer2


Five-pointed Star Configuration

This five-pointed-like shape is not nearly a regular Star of David shape. Maybe a slightly deformed Asterisk? It is located next to the heart shape in a tent at Landing Zone Boris



spacer2


Beacon or Rocket Configuration

This shape is not so clear to me, it’s not a star. To me it looked like the Soviet beacon symbol. It also looks like a dumpy rocket. Or, since Tatiana doodled this, she subconsciously meant it to be the tactical nuke that has made the big crater…
There are two instances of this shape, both at the Hidden FNIX Outpost.


spacer2

Line Configuration

A row of four bullets on the balustrade of the lookout tower in South-east Marshlands.

I always wondered if there is a mystery behind that, like with the apples, or if it’s just for fun.

2 Likes

The devs probably wanted to show us the subconscious human activity in camps, where there is nothing else to do. In this case playing with empty bullet casings. It is part of the story-telling.
