Prime loot hotspots on Virlok
1. Shrine
Positioned at the map’s centre, the Shrine is one of Virlok’s richest loot zones. Its central location makes it a hotspot for players seeking premium gear. However, this advantage comes at a cost— as players have to be prepared for fierce competition, as many players target this area for its high-tier loot. Players are suggested to land here for a chance to secure powerful weapons and armor early on.
2. Refinery
The industrial heart of Virlok, the Refinery, is another key location for players. Packed with advanced gear, this area provides ample supplies for those daring enough to drop into its maze-like infrastructure. Its layout offers great opportunities for ambushes, so players are suggested to stay vigilant while scavenging.
3. Lok Terminal
Once a bustling hub for intergalactic travel, the Lok Terminal now serves as a treasure trove for players. The abandoned transport center is rich in loot but also attracts squads looking for strategic positioning. Players are recommended to control this area early to dominate nearby choke points and prepare for mid-game encounters.
4. Gufa
A cultural creation carved into massive rock formations, Gufa combines impressive architecture with high-tier loot. While the location offers excellent resources, its enclosed design can be a double-edged sword—providing cover but limiting escape routes. Players are recommended to ensure that their squad is well-coordinated when exploring this Yaksha monument.
Pro tips for navigating Virlok
Surviving Virlok requires more than just locating top-tier loot. Here are some key strategies to make the most of this map:
