Armoury RuinReport

English:Armoury Ruin · Locations

A Lost Armoury that has been damaged and no longer locks. Some of the contents are gone — but so are the Security Spiders that guarded them. This is the version for squads that have not levelled Lockpicking and Stealth yet.

🗺 See this place on the map ↗

Armoury Ruins are simply Lost Armouries that have been damaged.

Their locks are broken and no longer secure, so they may still hold some of the loot a Lost Armoury contains. What they have lost, in exchange, is the garrison: they are not guarded by Security Spiders the way Lost Armouries are.

Choosing between the two

TipThis is the beginner version of the same treasure chest. Run Armoury Ruins while your squad still lacks Lockpicking and Stealth; come back for a real Lost Armoury once the skills are there.

Where the four are

Armoury Ruins are spread across four regions: Cannibal Plains, the Deadlands, Greyshelf and Shun.

None of those four is a comfortable walk. In the Cannibal Plains the town marked neutral on the map, Deadcat, changed hands long ago. The Deadlands never stop raining acid. Greyshelf is Southern Hive patrol country and Black Gorillo ground. And the ruins of Shun have Security Spiders squatting in them. The door may be open, but you still have to get there.

What is inside

The wiki records full contents for the two Greyshelf ruins, which serve as a useful baseline.

NoteOutput here is mostly materials, not finished equipment. For high-grade weapons and armour you still need an intact Lost Armoury — that is where the well-preserved ancient gear actually lives.

A known oddity

The wiki notes that sometimes the items do not load in correctly. There are two outcomes — either the spawns double (every count above twice over), or the place is completely empty.

TipSo if you walk in and find bare containers, do not immediately conclude someone else got here first. Reloading a save can make the contents load again.
