Hajin locations

The prison is a large concrete-walled site on a plateau where the trees have been cleared. It sits in the North Korean Wilderness, among scattered shacks, farming hamlets and pine woods. A watchtower stands at every corner of the tall wall. Building work had already started on the east side.

The main entrance and checkpoint are to the south. Barracks lie to the east. A polluted river runs along the west side.

The Y-shaped Citadel stands in the prison yard.

The Citadel is a Y-shaped fortress inside the prison yard.

It is a dangerous maze. You will find gantries and walkways, repatriation chambers, a huge furnace and a warren of cell blocks. Deadly high value targets are in there too.

Scout the ground before you go in. Without careful reconnaissance, it is easy to get cut off, surrounded and overwhelmed.

The base is built into a huge granite hillside. A vast bunker complex hides under the hill, and it is bigger than the surface base.

The base is very dangerous and well defended. It has a full set of guards and some high value targets. Getting in is tricky from every direction, and the cliffs on the east side make it harder.

Recon found a way in from the wooded high ground to the south. You need great skill and good judgment to find a gap in the concrete wall and stay out of sight of the watchtower guards.

Large bunker doors have been seen in the hillside to the south.

Ground-penetrating radar shows buried structures, hidden tunnels and other possible hazards under the ground. The tunnel system is bigger than the surface of the base itself.

Deadtown was a farming township. It is empty now, because the people were moved away from the fighting and the military took it over. It is a fairly large settlement. Rivers of toxic water run along the northwest and east sides.

Expect street-to-street fighting. The higher value targets are most likely in the larger, more ornate buildings. At first you will meet lightly armored enemies and possibly convoys.

The town's east edge is on higher ground, next to the Hajin River. The newer buildings there include small tenement blocks and other empty block shells. Some hide military storage made to look like homes.

The older part of town has single-family houses and a main dirt road. A Gas Station stands at either end of town, and there is a Clinic. Two Re-Education buildings stand in the center. Follow the railroad northeast to reach smaller, poorer hamlets along the main river.

Two Re-Education buildings stand in the middle of Deadtown. The enemy buildup is harder to handle here.

A sewer system runs under the town. It may connect to these buildings.

Imjin Farmland is a low-lying floodplain on the southwest edge of the map, between North and South Korea. Rice fields, winding waterways and scattered farms lie out in the open. Narrow roads and rail lines meet at a vast industrial mill.

The ground is fairly flat. There is little cover and the sightlines are long. That suits careful movement, driving vehicles and team attacks on key strongholds.

The Rice Mill towers over the landscape and gives a raised view across the farmland. It is a very important tactical position.

Use cover as you approach from the outskirts. Use the warehouses to get close. Once inside, switch to close-range weapons.

Watch your exposure on the open ground and expect enemy vehicles. Reinforce a position you have taken before you push deeper into Hajin.

Cheongun is the farthest north of the places South Korea once held on this map. It is an urban village on the Hajin River.

Border control splits the village. The Russian border control is on the east edge. The South Korean border control is close to the river on the west side, where the Outskirts have fewer buildings and denser woods.

The Russian Border lies north, across the river. It is full of fog and cannot be reached for now. Expressway No. 1 is Hajin's main freeway. It crosses the south side from east to west.

Homes and industrial buildings sit on low, flat land just above sea level. Before the conflict, most locals came here to gamble.

The Heavenly Luck Casino dominates Cheongun Village. It is a large complex that was once lavish. It has several floors, many gambling halls and an underground parking lot.

The halls are a maze of gambling machines. Visibility is poor because there is no mains power in many places. NVGs are a good idea.

The hospital serves all of Hajin and sits roughly in the middle. It is next to a train station. The Grid and the Hajin City mall are close, to the east. Expect snipers on the high, wooded ground to the south, called Mujin Pass, and in the Cheongun Outskirts to the west.

The grounds outside are stepped. Triage tents have been put up there, and there are temporary military barracks at the front and the back. A memorial obelisk and gardens lie to the southeast, close to a parking structure and the station.

The recent fighting has gutted the windowed, multi-level lobby. Further in, expect close-quarters fighting in the wards, the waiting and patient areas and the emergency room. The floor and stairwell signs are color-coded, which makes the huge building feel smaller.

The biggest telecom array in Hajin stands on a flat summit in the South Korean Wilderness. Huge granite boulder outcrops lie to the west, with trails weaving between them.

The gentler woods to the north lead down to Mujin Pass, close to the Hospital.

The enemy has taken over the DBN TV station array, and there are signs of recent fighting everywhere. The buildings inside are now barracks, and the air feels cramped and tense. The roof has a helipad and long views.

Radiation is severe around the whole area and strongest inside the reactor building. After recent events, a toxic cloud of radioactive vapor sits over the site. The weather shows little air movement, so the radiation should stay near the site.

Keep a gas mask on the whole time you are in the complex, together with protective gear against radiation. Without enough protection, you will probably be badly hurt or die.

Going in is strongly discouraged. Getting there by water may be possible. So may the tunnel from Compound Delta, to the southwest.

Recon shows a large breach at the containment block, spreading across Reactor 02. Reactor 01 is stable for now.

NuriGO is a mixed shopping and housing district, just north of the Hajin skyscrapers. Tenement blocks line the west edge, near the Hospital. A parkway runs along the north side, and the expressway borders the east side.

Above ground you find a Han-Go Korean BBQ, a district police station, a clinic and City Hall. There is also an elevated monorail station. The monorail runs by itself around the whole edge of Hajin City. There is plenty of parking above and below ground, and smaller shops and malls fill the rest of the area.

The main courtyard is near the old train station. It has three round structures: a pavilion and two wide light wells. One of the wells has an elevator. All three lead down into a large underground shopping area. The power is off down there, so bring NVGs.

The Grid lies to the south and is well defended.

A wall of steel plates and razor wire runs across several city blocks. It is the first sign of the fortified area inside the central business district.

Expect heavy resistance in the war-torn streets between the NuriGO Mall area and The Grid. Many roads are sealed with barricades. Watchtowers and roving North Korean soldiers can raise the threat fast.

The Grid begins at the Donpyeong Gate, an old fortification close to the Hanex Bank tower and City Hall. It also covers the DBN TV tower, which is the tallest building in Hajin, and the Nenshin Tech Complex. Farther on, it crosses a partly razed raised road and the train tracks, toward the Minsok Art School and an attached building that is still under construction.

Troops are thick in the sector that faces Wolves Stadium to the south. The area includes a historic courtyard with a pagoda, a big arterial road and a statue named Year of the Fire Horse. Hotel Lucera is here too, and so are other large buildings. A construction zone spans several city blocks on the east side.

It is hard to move through this dense area, and there are few ways out at street level. Prepare for fights on the skyscraper rooftops first, then up-close fighting down in the streets.

The north end lies next to the Nuclear Power Station. The south end reaches the Hajin River's south fork. The expressway forms the west edge.

Songdo Wharf was once mostly quiet. Train and monorail lines served all of Hajin from here, and both are still running.

A landing from the sea at the south end shows that the fighting is recent.

In the north are homes and a luxury apartment tower, La Grande Vie. It is the tallest building nearby. Facing the East Sea, you find a plain market of tents, and a bridge out to a pier with a lighthouse. There is also a train station and a park with small pagodas. A rock outcrop on the shore holds Oamsik Turtle Island.

In the northeast corner you find Baseball Stadium B Station and a luxury apartment block that is half destroyed. Its upper floors have collapsed. Follow the raised monorail southwest to reach the Ginyeom-il Bridge, a ruined park and a train station nearby.

The streets around the stadium mix homes and shops. There is a Police Station, a bank building, open courtyards and narrow lanes between small malls and apartments. Rubble from the recent invasion lies everywhere.

The local baseball team used to play here. The grounds are now in ruins. The northern edge, by The Grid, is probably the most dangerous part.

Hajin River Heights is south of Wolves Stadium. It is mostly apartment blocks and narrow streets with stores on both sides. This area was hit hardest by the recent attacks. The ground rises toward the south, near the river's South Fork. A long green metal bridge there marks where the district ends.

Further northeast, staying close to the river, are more apartments. One of these buildings has been turned into a military base called Compound Echo.

Jinseo Park Towers are to the south. They are concrete apartment buildings next to a ceremonial park. Farther out, the land climbs into the wooded South Korean Wilderness. A lone comms tower stands on top of South Island.
