Overview

Faultline is a City zone in CoH. While it was once a trial zone and therefore restricted by level, since Issue 8, Faultline has become a Green zone, and now allows heroes of all levels access to it, though the enemies in the zone range from level 15 upward. It was originally known as Overbrook, before the villain Faultline destroyed it with his earthquake devices.

Arachnos Dig Site

Underneath the western portion of the zone lie a series of tunnels created by Arachnos. Several missions from Agent G send you into the tunnels, and they contain mission doors which can be used for Radio Missions. Many players have difficulty finding the tunnels, as the entrances are not obvious, and some of the mission doors are even beyond the normal map boundary, leading players to believe their mission is bugged and placed outside the zone.

There are two entrances to the Arachnos Tunnels, one north of the dam, and one south of it.

• The northern entrance is next to a dead tree at the top of Lift H.
• The southern entrance is under an Arachnos complex just south of the dam. Turn right (West) as you exit the power plant on the South side of the dam. You'll see a small bridge that leads to an Arachnos Flier landing pad. Drop down under the bridge and turn right (facing the dam). You'll see the tunnel leading downward directly ahead of you.

Both the entrances, and the tunnels themselves, are available on the Vidiotmaps map patch.

Exploration Badges

Undammed Funding has recently been passed in an effort to stop the damage caused by the leaking Paragon City Dam.

Newsman The Theodore Knight building was home to many Super Groups in the years before the Rikti War.

Faultless Mystic Ley Lines are powerful forces of mystical energy that crisscross the planet. Paragon City's proximity to Ley Line crossings makes it a prime location for magical villain supergroups.

Apex Apex tracked Dr. Vahzilok down to this location, but interference from the Circle of Thorns prevented him from capturing the mad scientist.

Drowned Rat The dam burst here due to exceptionally strong seismic activity.

Egg Hunter Perseverance and downright determination brought you this badge. Only the most devout egg hunters will find this spot. Lucky you.
