Rudnya

Rudnya is a location that appears in Survarium.

Overview
It is an area based around a rural village within the Chernobyl exlcusion zone, not far from the nuclear power plant.

There are three main routes through the area. The first, in the far north, is a hill where the Church stands. This is more of a sniper's position as it is convenient for attacking both bases and it also controls the lowland where the marsh is located.

The marsh is the second route which is convenient for stealth attacks on the enemy base, owing to high-growing reed, limited visibility and fog, which easily allows unexpected infiltrations. It also contains toxic water and small islands where you can find the Lakspur and Spring artifacts.

The final route is the village itself. This is the place most comfortable for short-range combatants, since the large numer of walls and partitions allows for sudden confrontations and plenty of cover. This is the attack direction for strike fighters, but to make it more challenging for them, both sides of the village provide good sniping positions. On one side has the roof of the spawn and on the other is an apiary on the hill.

Background
The location was discovered by scavengers who researched the area. They were surprised to discover that there used to be some experimental test ground based in the old neglected village. Somebody used to carry out biological medical experiments; cages with animals were found, along with some strange trails on the plants.

It is the place of fierce competition among the factions due to stocks of penicillin which is a vitally needed element for each survivor in the New World.
