The map

Zodiac is the new Resurgence map for Season 1, built by Beenox. It’s set at the DRC Advanced Systems drone factory in South Korea. Its 10 POIs mix factory interiors, rooftops, underground passages, moving trains and hazards you can interact with. It takes Rebirth Island’s place in Resurgence while Rebirth is away.

The 10 POIs

The positions come from Activision’s intel map, as reported by Timesaver.

POI Where What it is
Admin Northwest The central administrative tower
Solar Northwest Moving solar panels
Old Mines Northeast hills Mine tunnels, a quiet way to rotate
Dispatch West, where the railway comes in Support area for looting and flanking
Trackline Center A double railway where the loot trains run
Furnace Below the tracks Heavy factory machinery and moving conveyor belts
Depot Below the tracks Support area for looting and flanking
R&D East The drone maker’s research labs
Sentinel East Home of the Sentinel Overpass
Cooling Southern waterfront Support area on the water

The trains

Trains roll through Trackline carrying supply boxes. Each one holds 0 to 5 Legendary and 4 to 12 Basic Supply Boxes, so a train can have no Legendary boxes at all. Trains spawn about 25% less often than in the beta, because there was too much high-tier loot.

Tunnels and sewers

The tunnels let squads move under a fight and come up behind it. Use them to rotate, not to camp. Season 1 made it easier to see players and hear footsteps around the Sentinel Overpass, the Old Mines and the sewers.

Where to drop

These picks are guide writers’ opinions, not official advice. Trackline is where the loot and the fights are. Admin gives you high ground. Cooling, Solar and Sentinel sit on the edges for a quieter start.
