Compared to Verdansk, Rebirth Island is much smaller, a circular landmass promoting frequent, high-action combat. Your playstyle will largely be dictated by your position on the island, from the long sightlines along the island’s perimeter to the tighter confines of the Prison Block and Factory. The matches here are quick and intense, so explore the map and experiment with different strategies on each deployment.

Before diving into the POIs, let’s go over some of the interactive items you’ll find around the map:

A Point of Interest is a landmark, location, or cluster of adjacent locations worth exploring. These are represented by an “arrow pin” icon on the relevant guide maps. Select the POI you are interested in. From there, you can read up on all the pertinent data for the POI.

Use in-match cash at Buy Stations found throughout the island to purchase Primary Weapons from your custom Loadouts.

Some locations and actual POIs are named after the major landmarks found within them. These are called out on the map, and where appropriate, icons have been added to the interactive guide map so you can easily pinpoint their locations.

The Bioweapons Lab is a three-story brick and steel building, one of the tallest on the north end of the island. From the main curved road, a set of double doors leads into the loading area and a single door offers access to a workroom and metal staircase leading to the upper floors. Operators can also head down into the basement. This area is filled with hazardous barrels set into alcoves, making it ripe for ambushes.

For those seeking heights, the rooftop offers a commanding view of the island’s northwest corner, with long sightlines toward the Chemical Engineering Factory, Decontamination Zone, and the hilltop and water tower outside the Prison Block. A great place to make a stand, the roof is accessible from interior and exterior stairs.

The first floor has three rooms: the loading area, a main workroom, and the interior stairwell. The loading area looks out onto the Decontamination Zone building and street below; within, take the staircase down to the basement or enter the workroom, which has concrete posts in the center. A nearby office grants views over the water with another window looking over the white shed and jetty.

The second floor holds another office and a laboratory, where fluorescent lights illuminate research equipment and chemical formulas. Note the points of egress leading to exterior staircases; these make for a great escape in a pinch.

The third floor leads to a single, dimly lit room with multiple windows looking out on all sides of the building. Some desks and workbenches lead to metal tables, some of which are still bloodied from previous subjects. In the back of the room, note the single window looking out toward the Decontamination Zone.

A worn white shed sits on the northwest shoreline behind the Bioweapons Lab, next to stone steps leading down to a small jetty and another flight cut into the building’s foundation to reach the first floor. The crags here offer some concealment from prying eyes, which can be used for stealth movements.

This low-lying concrete building sits adjacent to the main road circling the island, its roof nearly reaching the hilltop to the north. Its position between the Prison Block and the island’s north end makes it a popular spot that often sees high activity. A row of doors and metal gate openings along the building’s side can be used to access the first floor.

On the building’s north end, a loading area leads to two smaller decontamination zones. The building’s second floor is accessible from several points here, in addition to a ladder that leads to the building’s roof, a flat surface with multiple vantage points looking into the building. An alley runs between the building and the hillside, offering another means onto the roof. Several openings here lead into the building’s control room and the catwalks above the showers.

A larger landing area is on the building’s south end. Duck under the bridge to reach the main decontamination zone or take the staircase to access the alley. The bridge leads to a green shed and a side road that winds around the recreation yard and Prison Block all the way up to Headquarters. The showers catwalk is also accessible from this area, so be on guard for enemy Operators incoming from the other side.

The first floor leads to the showers, an open room with just the spigots and some crates offering minor cover. Take the stairwell to reach the second floor and a tunnel that cuts under the road to the front of the Chemical Engineering Factory. Some double doors lead to a sprawling warehouse-like area with crates, containers, and a dumpster for cover. Given how large this area is, long-ranged weapons perform better here compared to the island’s more confined interior spaces.

Just north of the recreation yard overlooking the Bioweapons Lab, Decontamination Zone, and Chemical Engineering Factory, the hilltop features a helipad that has a small shack at the end. Use this area to pivot toward the Decontamination Zone and hop onto its rooftop with a running jump off the bluffs.

The water tower here serves as Rebirth Island’s main landmark and is a phenomenal makeshift watchpoint. Survive the climb up the exposed ladder for two levels of commanding 360-degree vantage points. The top of the water tank is inaccessible except via helicopter or parachute.

The wide stone pathway of the terrace leads toward a ramp to the second-floor overhang of the facility and an exterior ascender allowing roof access. Like the nearby hilltop and recreation yard, this is an area you’ll move through, typically on the way in or out of the prison. Several staircases and a ramp lead from the street to the terrace.

At the bottom of the water tower, the pumping station is a small, one-room building accessible only from the front. This area is a prime ambush spot against Operators coming down from the hillside or through the recreation yard.

Set under street level, the Chemical Engineering Factory is easily identified by the tall smokestack rising from its roof and the toxic gas spewing from two waste pipes jutting out over the ocean.

The factory’s first floor is set belowground – reaching any of its three front entrances requires a trip down a staircase or a hop over the concrete wall. The landing area here leads to one tunnel heading back to the Decontamination Zone and a smaller one that opens onto the warehouse’s landing and parking area.

Mantle up to the roof from the building’s north end to reach its higher points, including the smokestack and ventilation area leading to the roof’s highest vantage point and the double doors leading back into the factory. Alternatively, stay low to reach a concrete jetty, a metal wraparound underneath two waste pipes, and a ladder up the side of the ventilation area before it becomes natural terrain, which can act as a solid flank route.

The main factory floor is an L-shaped room built around two massive furnaces and a small incline containing several control machines in the other corner. The north room behind a set of double doors is a small square storage area, while the one due south under an archway has a massive chemical container with a set of staircases beside it.

The other interior space, located behind the factory, is a work shed jutting out over the seaside walkway. Although the room is small and has little of note, it may contain some loot, or at least offer views out to the walkway below and toward the Bioweapons Lab.

A prominent feature on the area’s north end, the office is a major draw for players looking to stock up on supplies and engage in combat across a multi-level building. Entry into the building is largely divided between the upper interior floors, which are accessible from the street or through the lower open levels nearer the shoreline.

A metal ramp extends over a courtyard and into the warehouse’s main entrance on the third floor. Drop down to reach the warehouse’s garage, access a tunnel to the factory’s courtyard, or continue toward the other side of the garage. Note the walkway that wraps around to the factory and a concrete staircase down to hilly terrain with a path to the Docks.

Accessible via ladder in the top floor, the office’s pitched roof offers commanding views of the docks, hilltop, Decontamination Zone, and Bioweapons Lab.

A primary point of interest between the Chemical Engineering office and the Harbor, the power station sits on the shoreline. The two-story structure supports the generators and turbines that help power the island. The building marks a strong pivot point between the lower shore and the paved road above. Check your surroundings and then make your next move.

Both sides of the Shoreside street next to the construction site offer a few important areas to gather supplies and keep watch over the main road. On the north end of the Shore, there are two buildings and a gun emplacement that can be used as cover and a break in the middle of the wide-open road.

Farther north up the road, a long staircase leads to a helipad atop a quay. Also look for the watchtower with a single ladder offering access. Climb it to get a solid view of the surrounding action.

Directly on the water is a large freighter. The freighter’s surface is almost at the same elevation as the gun emplacement, so beware of enemy Operators attacking from this direction. The freighter is a great place to land and loot as your initial drop, or at any point during Resurgence, so long as you can clear it of enemy Operators.

There are several ways to get on board the freighter: Take the north or south stairs and travel via the more traditional routes, or jump directly from the cliff’s edge. Don’t get stuck here, because getting out takes careful timing and maybe a distraction or two.

A lone building that powers the Bioweapon Labs sit on an elevated concrete structure above two of the island’s waste pipes along Shore’s northern end. This single room contains a few pieces of power equipment, including a large white generator that nearly divides the room in two.

A small walkway overlooks the dangerous waters below, and a dead end curves down to a ladder descending to street level.

Located south of Shore is the Control Center, a large building and a small one with a breezeway that splits the two. The main building has a rooftop in plain sight of the Prison Block roof and surveillance tower.

Both buildings are three stories tall and provide a vantage point over the dock below. So long as you’re not being attacked from the Prison Block, the Control Center is a great rotation spot between the north and south of the island.

When on the roof of the Control Center, use the large radar structure and rooftop access point as cover. Doing so can be the key to your survival while scouting your next move.

Right in the center of things, the harrowing Prison Block is the main draw of Rebirth Island and the largest building on the map. There are numerous points of entry into the Prison Block via open windows and accessible doors. A paved walkway around most of the complex offers plenty of room to move around the facility.

The main cell block is clustered across four hallways providing long sightlines and plenty of opportunities for close-range fights. At the center is a blast crater opening space in an otherwise confined setting. Note the accessible cells throughout; they’re optimal ambush points. The library on the north end leads to an additional row of cells, a stairwell within granting access to the upper level.

The main cell block catwalk offers a strong view over the block’s smoldering center. Like the first floor, there are numerous open cells that serve as ambush points.

The flat and open recreation yard is where midrange and long-range Loadouts can really shine. Three entrances lead to the main concrete yard. The high stone walls surrounding the yard offer good protection against attacks from the outside, and two guard posts can be reached by climbing on stacks of boxes and plowshares around the yard, or via an overhang accessible from the Prison Block’s second floor.

The flat Prison Block rooftop looks over the whole island. Since it’s such a large area, there is always the danger of being ambushed while looking out over the sides. The 360-degree views provide solid command of the roads surrounding the Prison Block, Headquarters, Shore, docks, and even out to the collection of buildings northeast of the water tower. Long-range weaponry is heavily encouraged here.

The central roof is divided by four rows of skylights, several openings providing access to the prison. Also at center is a small ramp leading up to a connecting point for the tram.

The Prison Block basement leads to underground showers, an electrical room, and a tunnel that runs straight out toward the northern Shore area. The concrete pillar nearest the staircase marks the position of a ladder leading to the surface.

Access the showers from several different entry points, including a flight of stairs descending from the main cell block. Inside, a long half wall separates two long troughs of shower stalls. The changing area gives some coverage from the otherwise open space. The electrical room serves as a hallway outside the showers area, another flash point for close-quarters combat.

The Prison Block’s main entrance, the warden’s entrance is preceded by a small courtyard decorated with a monument and flags.

Enter through the central doorway to reach the entrance hall, a space suited for close-quarters combat branching to the right toward a locker room and to the left into a holding cell and a parquet-floored filing room. Continue straight past the check-in counter to find a set of double doors to the main cell block. Cut right to reach staircases leading up to the roof or turn left to access a stairwell up to the cell block’s catwalks.

Sandwiched between the dockside tram line and the communications office, the Harbor warehouse is defined by three floors that have no interior connection points. It is mostly barren with few cover pieces inside. Walk along the Harbor to find a staircase leading up to the first floor and a recess created by four brick pillars. Toward the communications office, a stack of crates leads to a window of the operations room or to the warehouse’s service road.

The warehouse’s first floor opens onto the service road through a white brick hallway. Take the stone staircase up from the dirt path to reach the warehouse’s top floor, a brick-walled office space with one window that looks out toward the Chemical Engineering Factory power station. Or head to the roof, which is about level with the road and provides a great sightline into the tram while docked at the nearby station.

This two-story rectangular building sits between the Harbor warehouse and the Chemical Engineering Factory power station. It’s the first building one can enter when the island’s east road forks into two from the Headquarters. Both floors are mostly open spaces with multiple viewpoints, making this an ideal defensive location.

The surveillance tower is the primary lookout spot within the Headquarters area, the highest vantage point on Rebirth Island. Because it sits directly in front of the warden’s entrance to the Prison Block, it’s prone to high traffic; expect close-quarters action inside as Operators battle for control of the surveillance tower’s phenomenal views over the island.

Four doors lead into the main Headquarters building: two on the brick road across from the command center and two in a small courtyard located in the rear. The entrance closest to the Prison Block holds the ladder ascending the tower, while the other door leads to a lavish living room and an adjacent study. Hook around the wooden staircase to reach the courtyard or continue down the hall for an alternate path.

The second floor is a tight cluster of office spaces and meeting rooms, prime for close-quarters combat. The L-shaped roof offers views within the Headquarters and the surrounding environment while maintaining a lower profile compared to sniping atop the surveillance tower.

Northeast of the Headquarters garrison lies a twisting network of staircases and a single tiered garden leading down to the Factory. An inclined road runs along the northeastern edge of the Prison Block.

This large two-story facility is the main Headquarters building, a command center used to communicate with distant shores. The first floor wraps around a central wall, and a single staircase leads to the upper level. The double doors lead into a kitchen area and a comms station. Traverse the nearby staircase to reach the second floor, a circular layout with several branching rooms.

The rooftop offers good views of the Headquarters and Living Quarters, as well as a countersniping position against those on the Prison Block rooftop.

A two-story home with an unfinished basement acts as temporary quarters for those stationed on the island. Inside, a comfortable living space offers views toward Factory. Access the roof by hopping on the banister. The pitch of the garrison rooftop is steep enough to take cover behind when looking out to the Prison Block, Factory, or surveillance tower. Those daring enough to cross the alley can reach the ladder to the command center’s roof from here.

The Factory is the largest feature on the eastern shoreline, a commanding three-story building and basement that all come together to encourage multi-level, close-quarters combat. Given the views toward Harbor and proximity to the Headquarters, the factory sees plenty of traffic.

Doors and windows line the exterior of the building, but many of them are boarded up or barricaded off. Exterior walkways stretch along the first and second floor, offering additional means to enter the building and to fire down toward the docks with an unobstructed view. Two ladder systems on the second-floor catwalk provide quick access to the Factory’s roof.

The basement is an elaborate generator room, the factory’s steam-filled underbelly containing plenty of barrels and equipment to take cover behind. A staircase up to the first floor is located near the archway entrance to this basement.

The first floor features a control room and stairwell access to the second and third floors. Within the control room, a small electrical switch room abuts the stairs down to the basement level.

The second floor extends from the middle staircase to a small landing. Go through the north door to reach a mudroom with an exit out over the alleyway, or head south to advance through three connected communications rooms. The dockside catwalk crosses three open windows. The third floor consists entirely of the top landing of the middle stairwell, a small bare room used as an entry into the building's lower levels.

The roof is split into two pieces: a mostly flat blacktop with a satellite dish and a pitched side over the original brick building. Both sides offer great sightlines to the dockside area below and are level with the nearby stairs and garden that climb up to the Headquarters and Prison Block.

Part of the lowest lying area on the map, dockside is a straight, flat area under the shadow of the Factory. Alongside scattered cover objects, this area includes a crane, tower, and the tram station.

Use the nearby container to climb up the crane for an unconventional position against those on the dockside or on the Factory’s exterior walkways. North of the crane, the tower is accessible via a ladder from the ground or by jumping from the concrete stairs to the tram station.

At the tram station, a cable car shuttles between the loading platform and the top of the Prison Block. With no windows or doors, the tram can leave Operators open to attack, or alternatively grant them a unique vantage point over the surrounding area.

A set of four apartments in an assortment of colors completes the row of Living Quarters. Each has a color and letter that corresponds to them: A (teal), B (yellow), C (green), and D (red).

A: From the main entrance, Living Quarters A contains a small mudroom and a door to the living and kitchen area. Through an archway, there is a hallway with a door to the bathroom, a ladder up to the roof, and a staircase down to the two bedrooms.

B: Similar in layout to Living Quarters A, this has a lit fireplace and a sink set back near the fridge.

C: More of a home office than a living quarters, this space hosts a small mudroom with a large arch that opens into a living and kitchen room combo and the staircase up to the second floor.

D: Similar in layout to Living Quarters C, but the first floor is a large living room while the second floor leads to a writing area complete with two desks, a couch, and a table filled with books and empty bottles.

A sprawling network of tents, mobile medical stations, and a small office hut all sit at the base of rocky hills that wind up to the Headquarters. Lying between the main road that circles the island and a crossroad up to the Headquarters, it’s a good option for those looking to avoid the open streets.

Below a twisting dirt path up the rocky crags is a single-room office with a large wooden shelf nearly splitting the area in two. Access the building’s roof by hopping off a paved road in front of the Headquarters area. This high ground gives a slight advantage over those traveling nearby.

This green and white Living Quarters stands alone in the collection of living spaces, one double door set under an overhang and a back door facing the Security Area past the road and down the cliff.

Walk through the double doors to reach the main living room where a lone couch sits in the center. Turn right upon entering to access a small kitchen or cross the wood floors to see a nearly empty room where a grand staircase climbs up. Another set of double doors in the living room opens onto a mudroom. The second floor consists of bedrooms and a ladder up to the roof, which provides views up and down the nearby topography.

All shipments are tracked in this single-story building just off the dockside’s southwestern end. Inside are four rooms: two file storage areas and two office spaces, one with two rows of desks and another with all but two desks pushed to the center — all of which are ideal for close-quarters combat.

Between the Security Area and shipping and receiving are two dirt paths leading to the Living Quarters. Across the street from the northernmost dirt path is a small jetty, a small step down from the road.

The path to the Security Area’s main checkpoint is a wide-open driveway. The driveway is large enough to get a few vehicles into the area, but don’t get bottlenecked at the checkpoint. Directly across the driveway, a long metal staircase and a dirt incline lead to the Living Quarters and a vista over the Security Area.

Look for the small security office near the checkpoint and a tiny supply shed. This area’s raised walkway offers some verticality, but be careful of those sniping from the cliffs over by the Living Quarters and within the Security Area’s watchtower.

This north half of the Security Area hosts several buildings, including two large shore guns meant to protect the island from incoming threats. Note the small shed and helipad across the metal bridge stretching over the water below; this is the southernmost point on the map and is the lowest elevation on the island.
