Dam Battlegrounds is the first playable map. Its key feature is a massive, crumbling dam that bisects a landscape of battle-scarred swamplands and dense forests. Today, it stands as a silent testament to the ingenuity of the human race prior to the Collapse.

Overview of Dam Battlegrounds
Controlled Access Zone puzzle
1. Powering up a lock room
One switch is inaccessible without an inserted Fuel Cell.
- Find the Fuel Cell: It often spawns on the ground floor.
- Installation: Carry it to the top of the room and insert it into the wall receptacle. This will require some parkour.
- Effect: This unlocks the room containing the fourth switch. You can see this button behind a metal gate at the top of the room before the power is on.
2. Activating the switches
The puzzle.
- Activation: All 4 buttons must be pressed at nearly the same time, there is a short delay allowed. This is possible with three people, but requires a Snap Hook to hit the last button in time.
- Validation: Watch the 4 lights above the door. If they are all powered up at the same time, they will turn green and the first door will open.
3. Resource lock
A second door is closed; to open it, you will need to deposit items in an electrical panel.
Requirement: You must deposit specific items to unlock the final rewards behind that second door.
These items are randomized each match.

Codex entry
The Alcantara Power Plant, or The Dam, stands a silent sentinel amidst waterlogged lands. Once a rare lifeline for settlers during the age of Sunrise, it became a shell-scarred battleground during the closing battles of the First Wave.
Even now, these toxic, waterlogged lands remain a hot spot for ARC skirmishes. Between the research buildings, various Dam structures and the ramshackle hydroponic domes, Raiders know it to be a reliable source of valuable loot.
During the First Wave, the Alcantara Dam was the site for many of the conflict's most harrowing battles, with scars and structures still pockmarking the area today.
