Garbage Wastes is an early game region covered in piles of junk and pools of green water commonly filled with Red Leeches. It is home to a large Scavenger population.
Garbage Wastes is the third region visited as Monk and Survivor when following the guide and is also Artificer's starting region.
Garbage Wastes is a wide region divided into three main horizontal sections. The central section leads from Industrial Complex in the west to Shoreline in the east. Passing a Scavenger Toll is required to reach the Shoreline gate. The uppermost section leads to a unique Scavenger Stronghold containing two arena unlocks and a large number of Scavengers, guarded by a second Scavenger Toll. Both of these sections are above ground, exposing Slugcat to Vultures. The lower section of the map is underground and infested with Brother Long Legs at the eastern end.
Available to Monk, Survivor, Hunter, Gourmand, Rivulet, and Saint. Apart from various changes in appearance, creature spawns, and placement of the Rot throughout the timeline, Garbage Wastes remains relatively consistent with a large Scavenger and Pearl presence interspersed within the entangled garbage heaps and bodies of water.
Pre-Collapse
Available to Artificer and Spearmaster. Downpour adds a variant of Garbage Wastes featuring more industrial architecture with pools of acid lining almost every remaining structure. The lower eastern section of the map is covered in Proto Long Legs, and Brother Long Legs are recolored blue, resembling Daddy Long Legs.
In GW_A14 (the Red Lizard unlock room), the water does not submerge the entire room, making it possible to sit inside the pipe connection at the top without drowning.
The two collectibles on the ceiling of the lower area can be collected by using Spears as poles, or grabbing a Squidcada from GW_E01.
The connection between Garbage Wastes and Shaded Citadel is one of the only two connections between vanilla regions added by Downpour. The other is between Drainage System and Chimney Canopy.
In pre-collapse Garbage Wastes, Vultures can only enter the rooms near the Scavenger stronghold (except the stronghold itself), with a preference towards the 2 rooms before the toll, as every other area is set as 'forbidden' to them.
