You also have lots of options as to where you head next: the dam, the mansions towards the west, the warehouses to the south, or across the dam and up down to Asylum. You will likely have to fight one other group here, but once that’s settled you have heaps of loot and can move over to the top of the dam and start picking off enemies from up high.

So instead of going to the dam itself, you can land at the two office buildings northwest of Hydro Dam for a safer start to the game. Hydro Dam can be a very unpredictable and dangerous place to drop in Blackout: it’s surrounded by high cliffs, is hard to safely leave, and the loot is spread out across a series of large buildings. Lighthouse also has the advantage of being in the very corner of the map, meaning you can safely assume no one will be chasing the circle from behind you.
THE CALL OF DUTY BLACKOUT FULL
Lighthouse is also one of the five zombie areas on the map, so you can get your hands on a Ray Gun or spawn in a Mystery Box full of the best loot if you zombies spawn here and you can clear them out. If you manage to survive all of this you can count plenty of great loot. If you can seize this position you should have no problem methodically working your way down to the ground floor and wiping any other enemies out. To control this frenzied area you need to land on the highest gangway, get a gun, and secure the top of the tower. It’s getting increasingly popular, but Lighthouse remains one of the best places to land in Blackout provided you wingsuit and parachute skills are up to it. These are some of our favourite drop spots, offering good loot and relative safety.
