South Gate Outposts is a location in Lower Underrail.

Description

A vast cavernous area, sprawling multiple map areas, containing 5 small outposts with electric power and some smaller tunnels beneath them. These outposts used to be controlled by Omega Station's border guard. They were left abandoned after SGS-Omega war.

This area is accessible from Crossroad Watch. There are some tunnels leading to caves from the east outpost, but they are blocked by rocks that can be cleared with TNT Charges later on. This area may contain entrances to random dungeons.
