*'''Warp-tainted''': an area where the veil between reality and the [[Warp]] is thin.{{Fn|3d}}
====Outlands====
Beyond the badzones lie the outlands, where civilization has completely forsaken humanity. These are the most desperate and abandoned places in the underhive, where survival is a constant struggle against extreme conditions and lawlessness.{{Fn|4d}}
Outlanders on Necromunda are outcasts who have never been affiliated with a [[House]]. They may be descendants of escaped [[helot]]s or lost tribes dwelling in the badzones, or they could originate from a defunct House, forever excluded from Necromundan society due to ancestral sins. Some are true underhivers, born from criminals or outcasts from [[Hive City]], able to trace distant lineage to various [[clan]]s. Many Outlanders take pride in their separation from mainstream Necromundan society, viewing it not as a weakness but as a source of strength.{{Fn|4b}}
Life in the outlands is a constant struggle for survival, with [[gang]]ers frequently undertaking perilous missions to scavenge or prospect for resources essential for fortifying their hideouts or simply sustaining themselves with basics like food and water. Once a gang establishes a settlement, they face the ongoing challenge of defending it against rival gangs, the dangers of the underhive, and even internal conflicts that can destroy fledgling towns.{{Fn|4e}}
Defenses are crucially important, more so than in the rest of the underhive, as isolated settlements must fend for themselves. Walls are paramount in their defenses; a simple three-meter tall fence can deter most threats or provide time to eliminate them. More security-minded settlements utilize towers, gates, sentry guns, minefields, and guard beasts to enhance their defenses, as few settlements can prosper for long without implementing several of these measures.{{Fn|4c}}
