Subregion 8: Jessop Conservatory

Overview

Even though there are no missions active here, and only one hunting magazine to acquire, this small subregion has some spectacular hiking spots (the “Big Bump” mountain and lookout tower to the north) and three base-jump locations (including the infamous “trail to nowhere” just south of the cult outpost). Expect some additional grow operations, as well as the source of this particular strain of Bliss—grown in the Jessop Conservatory greenhouses. Let’s see how the plant handles fire, shall we?
