Metropolis

Metropolis is a late-game region exclusive to the Downpour DLC, with being the only Slugcat that can access it.

Overview
Metropolis is an Ancient city built on top of ' superstructure. After the Ancients ascended and left the world behind, the city became abandoned and derelict, with wildlife like the s settling in it. The city entrance's Karma gate is restricted to citizens only, requiring an ID drone to enter. Because of this, the Artificer is the only that can enter Metropolis thanks to their drone, Sofanthiel.

s are very common in this region, often projecting advertisements of different products used by the Ancients.

Creatures
Instead of raining, the end of a cycle transitions day into night. This changes the threat music to a different track and makes the wildlife more dangerous by diversifying spawns (More s, for example).
