Hidden Stashes & Caches

Hidden stashes and caches are free loot chests out on the map. They are not your stash in the hub. They need no key and set off no alarm. The map shows every spot where one can appear, but not every spot has one.

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: gear, ammunition and barter, with the odd SMG, shotgun or kitted rifle.

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.
