PoIs Explained

When taking Trader Quests, you're sent to PoIs such as houses, skyscrapers, parking lots, stores, and many more. The goal is to explore the PoI to complete the quest objective, whether it's to discover a hidden cache of goods or clear the building of zombie occupants (or both).
Most PoIs reward curious players with a hoard of loot. Following lights and reaching the end of a navigable path often ends with finding a room with Supply Crates, Weapons Bags, and other items loaded with high-quality loot.
But there are the zombies to consider. PoIs are typically infested with zombies that hide around corners or behind doors. Clearing out a PoI takes time, ammunition, and good aim, but the treasure trove at the end of the fight is almost always worth the struggle.
PoIs can also make ideal bases. Look for a location with higher floors that can safeguard against zombie hordes and build defenses to turn it into a stronghold.
How to Teleport to PoIs
If you're looking for a specific PoI to explore and you need to do it now, you can consider teleporting to one. To teleport to a PoI, open up the Console Command window by pressing the "F1" key on your keyboard. Next, type "debugmode" or "dm" without the quotation marks. Hit the "Enter" key and leave the window.
Pressing "ESC" brings up the main menu, but now you'll see an option to teleport to a PoI. Scroll through the list and pick a location to zoom off. You can also search for a PoI if you know what you're looking for.
