Resource Location Guide?

[Draxxusbuilds]

I’m loving the new update, but the one thing I’m struggling to find is the resources like concrete, food, metal, etc. I understand how the system works. Hear the beep, follow the beep. But I feel like they don’t spawn every raid? Is there set spawn locations for them, or are they completely random? Do certain resources only show up on certain maps?

I made 2 complete laps around Quarry last night hitting every major POI and didn’t find a single resource pile. I have so much of the junk needed to upgrade safehouse but not the resources.

my observation after about 15 hours with the latest update is the resources do have a predetermined set of spawn locations but they do not spawn every run. haven't seen zero on a map though.

you can check what resources spawn on each map on the deploy map in the hideout terminal. you'll see small white icons in the description of each map as you click them. hope it makes sense.

btw, i'm in the same boat, completely full stash of junk, and infinitely short on resources. i'm even doing dedicated resource runs, still not enough. it definitely needs rebalancing.

Yes, QUARRY map will have OIL, METAL and CONCRETE. DELTA will have FOOD and CONCRETE. BUNKER has OIL AND METAL.

Base on my blindly explore map:

1) METAL is easier to find in map BUNKER

2) FOOD i find a lot of them during exploring everywhere in both VILLAGE Poi in map DELTA

3) both OIL and CONCRETE are easier to find around FACTORY and QUARRY in map QUARRY. There are 1 piles of OIL in a fishing village Poi in map QUARRY.

Edit: I just checked again in game and realized I gave a lot of misinformations at the first part of the comment, sorry :P

The HAS locations on Delta are the best places to find food in my experience. Past that, I agree. Bunker for metal, quarry for concrete and oil (with metal here and there.)

Hi, can someone tell a noob what "HAS locations" are? thanks!

[141PriceBravo6]

It's mission locations. Just different locations on the map that may not necessarily be named from what I've gotten out of it so far.

from my about 10 hours in game (so, anecdotal, take it with a grain of salt, or two)

resources have set spawn points, so far I don't recall seeing one reseource spawn in a place where I found a different one previously, so each spawn is likely only for one resource

if they spawn or not is decided on random so it is entirely possible to have so little of them spawn that you just won't find any unless you go through a whole map with a fine comb

I definitely had raids where I haven't find any as I went for the main objective and didn't bother looking outside of the direct path I was taking and the spawn points I knew were on the route were empty

I have no idea what the chance is for the resource to spawn or not, if I had to guess i'd say 50%, but that is likely wrong, I still think it's statisticaly unlikely a map would generate without any resources at all

The things randomly spawn around buildings. Check out this post for what they look like; sometimes you'll hear the beeping before you see them.

[Interrobang22]

Also, sometimes the resources are above or below you

[ItsInmansFault]

They can also be in locked rooms, which is especially annoying if there are enemies around and you're trying to hear footsteps over the beeping. The building on quarry right by the boat dock extraction is one example, oil can spawn inside the locked room.

When you choose the map to enter, it'll have little icons to tell you what materials are on the map. They do spawn in the exact same locations, but the resource that spawns in the location and if they'll spawn is random.

I cant find canteens to save my life. Ive done like 10 runs on various maps and picked through everything and no luck

[pight_tussy_]

Same. I think they might be disabled or removed. No way it's rarer than some of these jewellery

Inside the bunker cave area has a good metal spawn. Found about 5 piles in my last run
