Best Piggy Intercity locations for loot: City, Mall, and Safe Place. These three areas are left from spawn and have the highest item density with manageable infected spawns. Avoid Carnival and Refinery early game. Trash loot, high risk.
Every location in Intercity is based on original Piggy chapters. If you know where items spawn in House, Station, or Mall from the main game, you know where they spawn here. Same spots, open world format.
I mapped out every area during my 40+ hours in the demo. Here's what you need to know.

Optimal Looting Routes
Beginner Route (Safe)

- Head left to City
- Clear City buildings
- Move to Mall

Time: 10-15 minutes per run Risk: Low to medium Reward: Consistent supplies and weapons
Intermediate Route (Balanced)
- Spawn and gear up
- City → Mall → Safe Place
- Forest for weapon hunting
- School if well-equipped
- Return to camp
Time: 20-30 minutes Risk: Medium Reward: Better weapons, more supplies
Advanced Route (High Risk)
- Full gear from camp

- Carnival/Refinery only if desperate
- Extended survival run
Time: 30+ minutes Risk: High Reward: Maximum loot potential
Item Spawn Logic
Items spawn in the same locations as original Piggy chapters. This means:
- Kitchens = Food spawns
- Bathrooms = Water spawns
- Storage rooms = Weapon spawns
- Toolboxes = Melee weapons
- Random surfaces = Mixed items
If you've played the original Piggy extensively, you already know where to look.
Multiplayer Considerations
Other players affect location strategy:
- Popular areas get looted fast (City, Mall)
- Less popular areas may have untouched loot
- Infected aggro can be shared or exploited
- PvP may be enabled in some areas
Coordinate with teammates or compete with strangers. Your choice.
