Iron River is the 3rd region you get to unlock. You will find the city of Greywater Camp here, the area is similar to last region with a big river and more cliffs with enemies below Level 30.
Settlement Guide
Once you arrive at any Settlements for the first time, you’ll be assigned to certain tasks typically to activate Rift Anchors, defeat elite and normal enemies, open mystical crate and look for weapon and armor crates.
While you only need to activate the Rift Anchors and can only open Mystical Crate on time per settlement, you can continue to go back to the same settlement to get the weapon and armor creates another time when it refreshes.
Here I have list down 6 settlements and 2 danger zones in Iron River along with its recommended level, objectives and rewards. I’ll also add some additional information regarding side quests and fun facts whenever I come across.
