In the spin-off Far Cry New Dawn, as in the original fifth part, the developers offer us to find several caches, inside which useful items are hidden, including magazines that give skill points, Far Cry coins, titanium bars and other resources. We will tell you more about each of them below.
How to find caches?
There are a total of ten caches throughout Hope County, and to find them you can use one of three methods:
1. The first way is to explore the surrounding area. You need to find a place where there will be a note with a marker in the form of a “diamond”. Read this note, after which the game will automatically activate a quest related to finding a treasure inside the cache.
2. The second way is to talk to one of the Prosperity scouts. Usually you will find the information you need after capturing raider outposts. Moreover, at the same outpost you can learn about several caches (capture, talk to the character, plunder and re-capture, after which a scout will appear with new information). Such characters will be marked with the same markers in the form of “diamonds”, only inside them there will be an additional “exclamation mark”. Chat and find out where to look for a note to start the quest.
3. The third option is to buy a specific card in the card shop in Prosperity. This will cause markers to appear on your game map indicating all the caches (just like in our screenshot below). To buy them, you will need to upgrade the card shop to the second level, and accordingly, you should first upgrade Prosperity itself to the same level.
How to get hints?
The notes you find to start the cache quests are not there just for show. They are actually very important, and often when you read them you can get various clues that make it easier to find the cache. In addition, in the search area you can often find additional notes that contain new clues. Look for them to find out how to solve the puzzle and get to the cache.
What perks are useful to get into the stash?
The most useful skill is “Repair”. Most caches contain locked safes, which can be opened either with the unlocked hacking skill (costs six skill points), or with the torch, which is in another skill for three skill points. Another useful skill will be the ability to carry more items. In addition to resources, there are many treasures and first aid kits in the caches. We will not talk about the usefulness of the “Cat” once again: you simply will not get to some caches without a hook.
What is in the hiding places?
All caches contain more or less identical items. The only difference is that in some of them you can find titanium ingots. Some caches contain a locked safe. In addition, you can find components, duct tape, skill points (magazines) and premium currency – Far Cry coins, which can be spent on new suits or weapons.
For whom the bear roars
This cache can be found in the Prosperity area after you leave the main building. Talk to the man with the marker above his head.
Go to the specified location to find an abandoned church. There are three raiders near it. One of them patrols the area near the cages, and the other two are on the roof. There should be no problems eliminating them. Read the note lying on a small bench in front of the church. You will learn that the key to the cache is with a bear. You need to call the animal. Get to the bell tower on the church and shoot or hit the bell several times.
The bear is a dangerous opponent. One hit will take away up to a third of your maximum health points. Keep a safe distance to avoid damage. Run away from it and turn around from time to time to shoot at the bear. If you move backwards from it, it will easily catch up with the main character.
After killing the bear, search it to pick up the key to the cache. The cache itself is located under the church, and the entrance is in a pit a little further from it. Inside there are components, duct tape, magazines with perks and a safe with titanium ingots.
Rise of the Machines
The screenshot below shows a person who can tell you about this place. Once you get to the specified place, you will find an unusual machine that generates electric charges right in the place where the descent into the bunker is located. There will be four bandits here, three of them standing near the generator, and the fourth with a sniper rifle – on the roof of a building nearby. If you have a sniper rifle, then first destroy the enemy standing on the roof. If you do not have a long-range weapon, then stand so that the sniper does not see you, and deal with the bandits near the car.
When they are all dead, read the note lying on the chest next to the car. This will start the quest. The second note can be found next to the door of the house. You will find out that the door is locked from the inside – you can see the lock through the grate on the roof (through the hole). You should have no problem getting inside. The building is small.
Climb onto the roof, sit near the grate in the hole and look at the door. Shoot the lock with any weapon. After that, the door will be unlocked. Enter the building and move to the far room to find a lever that turns off the device. Go down inside the bunker. Collect components, duct tape, perk points and listen to the audio recording. If you have a perk, you can open the safe with titanium.
High art
This stash is located near the bandits. You need to get inside their guarded warehouse, the location of which is marked on the map. Outside the barn, there will be two bandits. One of them is located on the ruins, and the second one is patrolling the area near the entrance. You should have no problem eliminating them.
Once the bandits are dead, get to the back of the building. You will find a tower. Climb it using the grappling hook. There is a rope at the top that can be used to reach the top floor of the barn.
Once you’re inside, crouch and move along the low corridor under the ceiling. Jump down and turn two valves located on the first floor. One of them will open the barn gate, and the other, located near the left wall from the entrance, will allow you to lift the car. Climb up to where you jumped from and move along the car to the other side to find the third valve. Turn it, which will allow you to move the vertical car and get into the cache. Take various resources from there, including perk points.
The Fisherman’s Riddle
As in the previous tasks of this category, you will learn about this quest in the territory of “Prosperity”, in one of the captured outposts or simply while exploring the game world. The exact location of the cache is shown in the screenshot below.
Get to the specified location and pick up the note that will start this quest. Go to the private territory and examine the house. A burning raider will run out of the barn nearby. This is the only enemy in the location.
Kill him and enter the barn. There will be a hatch leading to the basement. Go down and find another note. From here you can go to the corridor leading to the cache, but the door inside is locked. To open it, you need to activate six fish in the correct order, located on the left and right walls. To find out the order, go upstairs, enter the house and click on the fish. Remember the numbers. In any case, the code combination will be the same for all playthroughs of the game. Return to the basement and click on the plates with fish in the following order: 2-4-6-1-3-5. The door is open. Go inside and take the resources with magazines.
Set it on fire!
As in previous quests, you can learn about the required location in “Prosperity”, at a captured outpost or while exploring the game world. Below we have indicated the exact location of the cache.
Get to the right place and deal with all the bandits. There are three raiders in total. One of them is located a few meters from the other, but there should be no problems with destroying him. You can even do it stealthily. The other two bandits are located in the back of the building.
Enter the house to find a wolverine lair in the far part. To do this, you need to go through the entire building. The animal is hiding in a haystack lying on the floor. Light it on fire with a Molotov cocktail to find the wolverine. It should burn, and near its corpse there will be the key you need. Use this item to open the barn near the building. Inside are resources, ammunition and skill points.
Target shooting
This quest can be completed near Nadine’s dump. The exact location is shown in the screenshot below. You can learn about the cache in the same place as usual.
The location is guarded by two raiders. Eliminate them, then interact with the note lying nearby. Get to the place where the stretched cable ends. There will be a hole in the ground, fenced with barriers. Go down and up the stairs. You will find a huge device. Next to it lies a note that explains the principle of solving the puzzle. Activate the device using the lever on the left and shoot at the targets. The first of them will be visible during the movement of the gear, through the hole in the part.
Next, you need to hit two targets slightly to the right and three more on the right side. After that, you can enter the cache to collect resources, supplies and skill points. Be careful, because there are two raiders waiting for you when you exit. They have their backs to you, so you can stealth kill them.
Go with the flow
The exact location of the mission is shown in the image below. It may be difficult to find. You will learn about the cache in Prosperity, at an outpost, or in a random place in the game world.
The note that allows you to start the quest is in a cave inside the mountain. Beware of the wolves roaming this area. Slide down the rope to the opposite side of the bank. Here you will find the key to the cache.
To find the cache, follow the white flags. They are placed along the river. Along the way, you must go up and down the hill to find a bear. From the place with the bears, turn right, then go out to the river and follow the current to jump down from the waterfall. After doing this, enter the cave on the left, near the entrance of which there is a white flag and a wolf corpse. The cache will contain all the same resources as usual.
The best laid plans
You will need to get to the top of the destroyed bridge, the location of which is shown in the screenshot below. You need the perk “Cat”, without which it is impossible to complete the task. As always, the task begins by reading the note. Next, you need to go towards the carriage located on the shore at the very edge. Climb inside it and look up through the hole in the roof to hook yourself and climb up.
You will find yourself on a small platform. The grappling hook is at the opposite end. The next step is to move forward, hooking onto two places in turn. To do this, you will need to swing and press the grappling hook key in time. You will reach a large platform with several wagons. Collect resources and go to the opposite end of the path. Several more grappling hook spots will lead you to a wagon with a secret compartment.
Failed rescue expedition
The place where you can start this quest is located far from the roads. The easiest way to get there is to go here after completing the quest “Love for a Boar”. There are no threats here, but raiders may be nearby. To complete the mission, you will need the “Cat”.
You will come across a destroyed car. The note is lying next to it. You will learn about a hiding place inside a cave. To get there, you need to climb the mountain. For this, you need a hook.
At the top, you’ll find a large pool. To reach the cave with the stash, jump into the water and dive. Follow the linear path and use the grappling hook to move on. One of the flooded corridors has the biggest obstacle to moving on. The ledge is too high to grab from the water. Climb to the car parked on the rocky slope and interact with its rear wheel to release the car’s brakes. Jump onto the car and from there onto the ledge leading to the stash.
Restless souls
When you learn about this cache, move to the indicated place and find a fire pit where you need to throw five corpses. Read about it in the note beforehand. Two corpses are lying near the fire pit, another one is located under the only canopy in the location, and the fourth is to the left of it. To find the fifth corpse, you will need to climb the mountain above the fire pit. Throw it straight from the mountain. After that, it remains to return to the fire pit and throw a Molotov cocktail there to burn all the corpses. This will open the passage to the cache and take the due reward.
