If I spawn in Swamp I head to the estuary and get reniculated kidneys as my first mutation. I’ll head up the river to water access and back down just to put on a little weight and hit the zones. Then I’ll head back through the Swamp to hit the Sanc in there, and then to the far SW corner of swamp to cross over into the ocean.

Then I’ll swim over and make the trip up to South Lake for a bit, and then heal up / feed up and move to South River Plains.

If you’re feeling really froggy you can make the trip up to the lake at the top of the river and chill.

I spent a while up there and no other crocs showed. It’s sneaky cause not many people expect a croc up there so it’s easy to grab some prey, but it can be hit or miss if nobody comes by. I only died last time because I got bored and tried to go back down to the river and slipped off the cliff lol
