West Wood Landmarks and Safehouses

Callouts like House nine or power station only help if everyone shares the same mental map. This guide documents landmark types West Wood players reference so your squad aligns during daylight scouting and night rotations.

Numbered houses

Residential structures across town serve as loot points and hideouts. Community posts describe roughly fifteen enterable locations — none permanently safe from break-ins. Learn three numbers near the general store cluster plus one far fallback for contract chains.

General store

Central progression landmark — requires key to open, ties to shopping badge. Full workflow in General Store and Keys.

Power station

Gameplay footage shows groups routing through power infrastructure during loot chains. Treat it as a landmark for orientation during outages when visual cues shrink — link Weather and Outages.

Dealer and pentagram references

Soul coin spending often references a dealer near occult-style ground markers on community maps. Scout in daylight with partners before carrying large coin totals — Soul Coins and Dealer.

Safehouse rotation

Pick two adjacent numbers and one backup across street. Rotate when break-ins repeat on one door. Pre-agree sprint paths — Hide and Escape.

Trap placement

Choke doorways and porch steps near chosen numbers during dusk setup — Survive the Night.

Co-op mapping session

Dedicate one daylight run with no contracts to pure exploration — everyone screenshots or notes numbers. Share in Discord from Links.

Power station orientation

Use power infrastructure as north-star when rain reduces distant visual cues — pair with Weather.

Number houses aloud during daylight even when solo — vocal reinforcement builds shared vocabulary before you add teammates.

Landmark tip

Use power station as orientation during rain.

House numbering culture

Squads call locations by house numbers constantly — “house three”, “house nine” appear in gameplay footage. Learn three numbers per session until the town feels smaller. Numbers beat vague “that blue house” during panic.

Power station routing

Power station appears in community runs as a landmark for loot and story atmosphere. Scout daylight path from your spawn cluster to power and back before accepting contracts on the far side of map.

General store anchor

Store access requires keys — full guide at General Store and Keys. Orient all mental maps relative to store once opened.

Safehouse rotation

No house is permanent safety — rotate among two or three known numbers so break-in patterns do not repeat. Pre-scout exit doors during daylight; blocked exits kill squads during sprint chains.

Door state callouts

Call “door open” vs “door closed” on voice — ambiguous door status causes double traps and wasted sprint.

Quick reference

See related pages linked above for deeper walkthroughs across westwood.wiki — all routes use trailing slashes for consistent navigation.

Listener house selection

Pick safehouses with window sightlines toward approach paths for listener role — interior-only houses hide audio cues. Mark listener houses on your squad map sketch with an L.

Dual exit rule

Reject any safehouse with only one usable exit unless trap coverage is confirmed — single-exit houses become death boxes when break-ins start.
