The Canyon is the most popular location among faction members. It is available from level 20 and relevant up to level 35 (after that, staying there lacks purpose due to other high-level locations). In the Canyon, you can complete a couple of storyline quests taken in the Tunnels. The location is popular due to the large number of mob spots, which provide a lot of experience and allow you to earn money by selling their parts. There are also many places with useful loot here.
The Canyon is considered a PvP location due to periodic wars between opposing factions for base capture. Being here is not very comfortable for Neutrals, as they can be shot by both factions, preventing them from farming or completing quests. Moreover, Neutrals do not have access to the bases located in the Canyon and have to run to neighboring locations (Tunnels or Swamp), which takes a lot of time. Faction members can buy and sell goods right in the Canyon at better prices than in other locations.
To get to the Canyon location, you can use the following transitions: From the Swamp location (2 transitions). From the Tunnels (3 “common” transitions and 2 “faction” transitions). A feature of faction transitions is that they are safe to use only for the attacking faction. The faction that owns the base in the Canyon, and Neutrals, automatically die when entering the safe zone / transition between locations and respawn at one of the exits to the Swamp location. And from the “Training Ground” location. There is also a techno-port in the location, thanks to which you can get there from other locations.

The map below marks the location of gas barrels (red markers).
Canyon PvP Map
This map shows:
- Main terrain names for orientation during the war on the southern and northern base;
- Main names of buildings located directly on the faction base;
- Radius of the dome / safe zone on the faction base (small circle);
- Zone where the Shield Suppressor can be used (medium circle);
- War area (large circle).
South and North Draughts
This map shows:
- Transition to another location (Tunnels) / safe zone / respawn (on the southern one, the safe zone does NOT work for Neutrals and players of the faction that owns the southern base. Upon entering the safe zone, players face death. Subsequent respawn will be at the exit to the Swamp location);
- Radio teleport with the destination point;
- Barricades;
- Corpses with smoke grenades;
- Ore (rock, coal, lead, precious metal).
P.S.
- The map is current as of October 2022;
- The names of the points indicated on the map are not set in stone (on each separate server / faction and even clan, different names are used). I would be grateful if, in the comments under this guide, you indicate how you usually call certain places;
- Mob and loot spawn locations are not complete (I indicated only the most popular spots). Also, if you wish, you can supplement them in the comments;
- The zones indicated on the PvP map are approximate;
- The radius of the dome / safe zone on the faction base is the place where the defender can feel safe (provided their reputation hasn’t dropped below 55%) and attackers cannot enter (until they destroy the dome);
- The zone where the Shield Suppressor can be used is the place where engineers can install their equipment and bring down the safe zone during a base capture;
- War area – the zone where killing enemies during a war grants additional faction points (crediting happens immediately after the end of that very war).
