Jungle Ziggurat
A low-tier Jungle biome monument with vertical climb routes, early-game loot, fishable pools, and recycler-driven close-range fights.

Overview #
The Jungle Ziggurat was introduced with the May 2025 Jungle update. Located within the Jungle biome, it blends heavy concrete geometry with temple-style architecture, integrating closely into the surrounding environment.
It is considered a low-tier monument with minimal hazards, making it one of the first structured monuments encountered during progression.
It is not a safe zone.
General Info #
Jungle Ziggurat typically includes:
- Approximately 6 to 8 barrels
- Approximately 6 to 8 crates
- 1 Recycler
- No radiation
- No keycard puzzles
- No safe zone protection
- Fresh water pools
- Exclusive small green crate spawns
The monument often spawns in multiple locations on procedural maps.
Loot #
Common loot includes:
- Brown crates
- Green crates
- Standard barrels
- Exclusive small green crate (primary source of Blow Pipe and darts)
- Early-game meds and low-tier items
Loot density is modest, making it ideal for quick early wipe runs.
Layout #
Jungle Ziggurat is vertically layered with multiple entrances and climb routes.
Exterior Areas #
Front Gated Entrance #
The most recognizable entrance. Features:
- Elevated gate platform
- Wooden ramp with side gaps
- 1 to 2 barrels
- 1 low to mid-tier crate
Gaps beside the ramp provide alternate drop routes into the lower section.
Side Entrance #
Direct access to the lower interior section:
- Leads opposite the recycler
- No loot
- Strong alternate route
High risk during recycling.
Pipe Sides #
Large pipes running up either side of the monument:
- Occasional barrel spawns
- Scaffold and boost routes to higher platforms
- Alternate climbing paths
Back Entrance #
More enclosed than the front:
- Cleaner stair access
- Scaffolding ladders to upper levels
- 1 to 2 barrel spawns
Often used as a quieter entry route.
Upper Levels #
Second and Third Levels #
Elevated platforms with:
- Scaffolding
- Ladders
- Vertical pyramid-style climb structures
Strong elevated sightlines and overwatch positions.
The Top #
Highest accessible point:
- 2 to 3 crate spawns
- Additional barrels
- Direct drop access into monument core via roof opening
- Strong shooting angles over interior and exterior
High-value positioning area.
Interior Areas #
Main Chamber #
Single large central room:
- 2 to 3 brown or green crates
- Multiple barrels
- Broken walkways and dangling hazards
- Rope ladder access to roof
All entrances eventually funnel into this central chamber.
Recycler Area #
Located beneath the back entrance catwalk:
- Only recycler on site
- Limited escape routes
- Surrounded by multiple approach angles
Limited-route position when in use.
Pools #
Two central water pools:
- Safe to drink
- Fishable
- No wildlife hazards
- Open exposure from upper levels
Primarily utility-focused rather than loot-focused.
Strategy and Meta #
Jungle Ziggurat is a fast in-and-out monument.
Key considerations:
- Multiple entry and exit routes
- Strong vertical dominance from top levels
- Interior funnels into one main chamber
- Recycler is in a central high-visibility location
- Limited loot with compact routing between levels
Control of upper levels provides significant advantage.
Jungle Ziggurat is a low-tier Jungle biome monument featuring moderate early-game loot, layered vertical traversal, fishable water pools, and one recycler. Its multiple entrances and rooftop access create varied route options without radiation or puzzle elements.
