In Episode 1 of Wintermute, Hobbs describes Blackrock Penitentiary as housing ". Blackrock Mountain was first revealed as an in-game location in the Episode 1: Do Not Go Gentle mission " Blackrock". It is equipped to the accessory slot, and provides incredibly high protection from wildlife at the cost of mobility and carry capacity. The Ballistic Vest is a new accessory item only found in this region. Similar to flares, they excel at scaring wildlife, and are invaluable for breaking timberwolf pack morale. Once one has been found, they may be crafted at the ammunition bench. Noisemakers are a craftable item that must first be found before they can be crafted. This region is the first to contain Noisemakers and the Ballistic Vest, which were both added to Survival Mode in the Perilous Constraint update. The entrance from Pleasant Valley can be found at the west end of the main road through the region, just after the Long Curve. It also connects to Timberwolf Mountain through a transition cave. In Survival mode, Blackrock connects to Pleasant Valley through two transition zones: Keeper's Pass North and Keeper's Pass South, with an ice cave in between them. This is the second region in Survival Mode to introduce timberwolves after Bleak Inlet, which are present in most major locations and along routes throughout the region.
It is one of two regions, the other being Mountain Town, to be designed for Wintermute.
