Ruins are locations found in the Swamp biome on Chapter 2. There are nine different Ruins randomly placed on the map. They can be divided in two categories big and small Ruins.

Three big Ruins are marked on the map with a drawing of the house, contain more loot, dangerous enemies and larger in size:

  1. A Ruin (house) consists of four rooms with a Generator outside. It's inhabited by two Red Chompers, one of which is infested with Black Substance.
  2. Since Beta 2.0 there is a second Ruin with a dangerous Banshee in the first room behind a metal door that can be unlocked with a Lockpick. A good tactic is putting the wardrobe next to the door and open the door halfway, wait for the scream and sprint outside quickly - the Banshee stands in the doorway, can't see the Protagonist because of the wardrobe, and can be shot from the outside.
  3. Another Ruin is littered with dormant Red Chompers. Around the house are other aggressive creatures, so care must be taken when exploring, avoiding the use of firearms if possible so as to not alert all the Chompers at once. There is a room which can only be entered by destroying the blocked door with a heavy weapon. In this room are several crates and wardrobes with random loot.

Six small ruins are marked on the map with a dot, contain less loot, weaker or zero enemies and quite tiny in size:

  1. A Ruin consists of one exposed room with one crate inside. It's inhabited by one Huge Dog with a chain on it. Note that dog is not chained to the room and can chase you outside the Ruin.
  2. Another Ruin consists of one room, with crate, corpse and small wardrobe inside. It's inhabited by one Stick Savage that hides in a corner behind the wardrobe.
  3. Third Ruin consists of an exposed room with one crate inside. Floor of the room is covered by Worms.
  4. Similar a Ruin consists of a partially exposed room with one crate and 3 Barrels inside. Half of the room is covered by Worms, middle part of the room has pool of gasoline on it.
  5. Fifth Ruin consists of 2 rooms one of which is fully exposed and other one remains intact. Outside of the Ruin 2 Gas Tanks can be found. Exposed room contains an empty corpse. Other room contains immovable wardrobe with loot. Second room is locked behind a wooden door on a key and needs a melee weapon to break into it.
  6. Last Ruin consists of 3 rooms one of which is exposed on the two opposite sides, other only has holes in the walls and last one remains intact. Outside 2 Gas Tanks can be found. Room with holes contains large wardrobe that blocks entrance to this room, intact room only accessible through the previous room and contains another large wardrobe and a crate. Blocked rooms can be entered by placing one of the gas tanks in the hole opposite to the entrance to the second room, hitting it with melee weapon and letting it destroy the wardrobe that blocks the entrance. This is largest Ruin among the small ones.
