Open the Ground Zero interactive map to see extracts, locked doors and loot spots in place.

Ground Zero takes place around the office towers of the city centre. A raid lasts 30 minutes, the map holds 9 to 10 players and there are 6 extracts. The map is closed to characters above level 20, so it is reserved for new players.

Bosses and Spawn Zones

There is no fixed boss on this map. That makes Ground Zero a good place to learn quests without boss pressure.

Loot and Keys

Only five keys are used here and a single quest asks for one, so you can run it on a fresh character without worrying about keys.

The office floors, the cafe and the pharmacy sections are enough for sellable items at low level. The map is small, so you have to keep moving while looting.

Extracts

All 6 extracts are open to PMCs and three of them work for Scavs as well. The police cordon is a vehicle extract and costs money, while Mira Avenue needs a flare.

Quest Route

20 quests have objectives here and 11 are required for Kappa. The first one unlocks at level 1, so the opening quests of the game are here.

The spread is even: Mechanic and Jaeger lead with four each, followed by Prapor and Peacekeeper with three. Finishing these before you hit the level 20 limit sets you up for the maps that come next.

Ground Zero Keys and Prices

5 different keys are used on this map. Quest keys come first: "Quests" is how many tasks need that key, "Doors" is how many doors it opens. Price is the 24-hour flea market average.
