Iron HQ, an outpost in Kenshi
Outpost· Skeleton Bandits

Where is Iron HQ in Kenshi?

Iron HQ is an outpost in The Crags zone, held by the Skeleton Bandits. On our map it sits at 91,276, 54,330 — east of Spring and south of Black Scratch. Here you will find 1 unique resident and the Skeleton Bandits headquarters.

The Skeleton Bandits' one settlement: metal wallhouses, two of them for sale, around a central lab where Elder sits. Research artifacts can spawn in the wallhouses as well as the main building. Talking to Elder lets you join the faction; it is far easier as a Skeleton, because the bandits here attack Humans on sight.
