Some collected locations of chests in the Arid Badlands.

Added by HerpaDurpeContents |
Location 1: Fresh Off The Bus (Red Chest)
Edit
Related Mission: Fresh Off The Bus.
The first crate is at the start of the game. Ahead of the player there is a red motel. Behind it and there are steps leading to parts that can be jumped on to reach the Red Chest on the roof.
Location 2: TK Baha
Edit
Related Mission: Is T.K. O.K.?.
The second crate is located on TK Baha's back porch; however, it's not accessible until Scooter in New Haven assigns the mission to check up on him. Upon arrival both doors are open. The chest is located through the second door.
Location 3: Bruce McClane's Hut
Edit
Related Mission: Find Bruce McClane.
You'll come across this one if you decide to take up the optional mission to find Bruce McClane, though the crate is accessible either way. The map shows the location when you're standing right by it but the crate itself is underground. There are a few bandits on the ground above and once you've picked them off, you can head into the hut and take the path underground. The crate is by the bed. Watch out, however; two midgets or psychos will appear from the fenced off part a few seconds after you head down.
Location 4: Wasteland Cliff
Edit
Related Mission: Product Recall.
This one can be a pain to get but it is right by a bandit camp that houses 2 more crates and it can be found while doing the Product Recall mission, though this isn't necessary. The path you need to take is visible on the map; as you approach the gate saying "PIS OFF" you turn to the left and hop up to a path on the cliffside. Follow it round to a weapon crate on the edge of the cliff, beside a table with various skulls lined up on it.
Locations 5 & 6: Titan's End
Edit
Related Mission: Insult To Injury.
Again, you may come across these two should you be following any sideline missions, in this case being Insult To Injury. Concentrate first on picking off the bandits surrounding the area as there are quite a few. The map shows the location of the camp and the two pictures below it show the locations of the crates. The first is inside a hut at the bottom of a slope underneath the makeshift bridge, and the second is inside the hut on top of the bridge at one end.
Location 7: Another Bandit Camp
Edit
Related Mission: Scavenger: Combat Rifle.
This one can be located in another bandit camp, close to the site of the Mothrakk and the Skag arena, as well as being in the same camp as the combat rifle scavenger hunt.
Once again, get rid of the bandits in the area first because the weapon crate is at the highest point and psychos have a tendency of popping up from the lower section of the camp. This red chest often contains high level items early in the game, often spawning items that have a Level 25 Requirement for use, and has an unusually high chance of giving weapons of blue or purple rarity when compared to the other chests in the Arid Badlands. The images below show the hut where the crate is located.
Location 8: Zephyr Substation
Edit
Related Mission: Hidden Journal: The Arid Badlands.
This crate is on the roof of the control room in the windmill farm, which you will come across during several side missions. Once again, work off the bandits and be sure to run around the whole area in case a few haven't spawned yet - there are a lot of barrels in the area and it only takes one bandit or bruiser to knock you straight off the roof. The images below show the map location of the crate as well as the way to jump up there.
