The Power Rod Room is in the lower eastern part of the Power Generation Complex on Dam Battlegrounds. To open its locked door, bring a Power Rod and use it at the panel beside the door. You can reach the room by zipline from outside the complex or through a long corridor.
Where the Power Rod Room is
Look for it in the lower eastern section of the Power Generation Complex on Dam Battlegrounds. The RaidersData interactive map labels the point “Power rod room” at coordinates 1781, 4911: Dam Battlegrounds map. Use the map’s coordinate display to orient yourself; the numbers are most useful alongside the named complex and room marker.
How to reach the room
There are two reported approaches. Neither source establishes that one is faster or safer, so choose based on where you approach the complex from.
From outside: zipline and window
- From outside the Power Generation Complex, take the zipline up to the small window.
- Enter through the window and follow the interior route toward the locked door. Shacknews describes going through the door on the left; Destructoid describes a platform and sliding door, with the room on the right. Use those landmarks rather than treating either turn description as a guaranteed step-by-step route.
From the long corridor
- Drop into the long corridor that runs alongside the Power Generation Complex.
- At the eastern end, enter through the door on the right.
- Continue through the next door to reach the Power Rod door.
How to open the locked door
- Bring a Power Rod into the raid.
- At the locked door, interact with the panel beside it and use the Power Rod. Shacknews describes the interaction as similar to using a keycard.
The Power Rod is an in-game requirement; no physical item or accessory is needed.

What is inside—and what is not guaranteed
Shacknews reports red lockers and says better containers may spawn. It suggests Night Raids, Electromagnetic Storms, or other events may improve the chance of better gear. Destructoid also reports player accounts of especially rich loot during Night Raids. These are possibilities, not measured odds or guarantees; neither guide establishes that a particular raid condition will reliably improve the room’s loot.
Destructoid also warns that ARC enemies, including ticks and fireballs, may patrol the area. Treat the room as a potentially contested stop rather than assuming it will be clear.
