Hidden stashes and caches are the free loot chests: no key and no alarm. This is every spot one can be.

Stash or cache#

They hold different things, which is why the map colours them apart.

  • A stash (blue) is trade goods: barter items, rare finds, valuables and crafting parts. What you sell, or hand in for a task.
  • A cache (green) is what you fight with: a weapon, gear and ammunition.

Either can hold a key. Keys are small and worth more than they look, so they belong in your secure container; Keys & keycards says what each one opens. The best gun a cache can give you is capped. The locked chests aren't, and they aren't on this map either; the keys page lists where each key's chests are.

A place to check, not a promise#

There are more spots than chests. Every restart, the server picks which spots get one, so a marker is somewhere a stash might be today, not somewhere it is. An empty spot isn't a bug; plan a route through several.

The grid is the in-game one: 1 km squares, numbered from the north-west corner the same way as your map in game.
