Iron Wake is a rugged, industrial-themed settlement with a focus on durability and functionality. The structures are primarily made of reinforced metal and concrete, featuring angular, geometric shapes with visible welding seams and bolted panels. The color palette is dominated by muted grays and browns, with occasional rust patches and weathered paint, giving it a lived-in, battle-hardened appearance. Decorative elements include Grineer insignias and salvaged Tenno technology repurposed into structural supports or makeshift decorations.
