In-game description

Convict Caches is a side mission in Episode 4.

Overview[]

To start the mission, the player must find a note at Cook's Farm in Blackrock Mountain region. This will add 4 points of interest on the survivors map.

Tasks[]

  • Find All the Convict´s hidden caches
    • Convict cache 1
    • Convict cache 2
    • Convict cache 3
    • Convict cache 4

Cache locations/routes[]

  • Cache 1 is located behind a stone in the "roots" of a fallen tree where the cliff face and the mountain meet above the Old Substation. Getting there is very easy, start at the Old Substation and go towards the Mountain then along the bottom of it to the left. In survival a Prepper cache may spawn in this location instead.
  • Cache 2 is located inside the mountain pass which leads to fools corner, in survival a rope to the creek would be there, the entrance to this pass is just after the No road cave (aggressive wolf cave) and is actually visible on the in-game map. The cache itself is hidden behind a jagged rock on the right side of the pass.
  • Cache 3 is located at the very top of the mountain above Foreman's Clearcut. To reach it by follow the road, beware of a pack of timberwolves patrols here, and then take the first left steep path up the mountain. Keep more to the right of this path and at the very top on a big flat rock outcropping (more in the middle of the mountain than the edge), the cache is hidden behind one of the trees.
  • Cache 4 is located at the foot of the second electrical power pole that is on the right side of the road (when going from Blackrock Prison), it´s the one visible but unreachable from the road. One way of reaching it is by going through the "tunnel/pass" and then backtracking a long way around it´s outside face, beware of a pack of timberwolves near the farm. The other way is to climb up to the previous Power pole, then climbing down a mountaineering rope (survivor must not be over-encumbered) and taking the first left up a steep path. After reaching the pole the cache should be easily visible on the right.
