Introduction

This guide includes multiple world maps featuring various points of interest like fast travel, minefields, car bodies and much more. I’ve also included information about Missions, Death Runs and Challenges.

Please comment below if you have any suggestions or discover a mistake.

• Construct the Scrap Crew and Cleanup Crew projects as soon as you can. The first will reward you with scrap when the game isn’t running. The second will automatically collect scrap from any vehicles you destroy. The Armory is also recommended, it regularly tops off your ammo.
• Abilities to focus on are Volition (scrap bonus), Judgement, Munition and Essence (water bonus). You’ll still have more than enough points to spend on additional abilities. Don’t bother with Adaptation (fuel bonus), there’s plenty of sources and rarely have to refuel anyway.
• Don’t be too afraid of storms, they bring a hefty amount of scrap in the form of Muthaloot crates, each containing 3 packages worth 100 scrap. That’s 300 scrap per crate, up to 450 depending on your Volition level.

  Use your harpoon to stop the crates from flying away, then get out of your car and break it open. Make sure you watch your surroundings and avoid getting hit by debris. You might need to level up a bit in order to survive.

The map has been created by me, using multiple screenshots of a finished playthrough and merging them together, then manually adding icons for each additional map.

See other sections of this guide for more maps.

Missions

The list includes both Story and Wasteland missions in chronological order. Descriptions underneath Wasteland missions have information on who is giving it, the reward you’ll get and requirements in order for the mission to show up.

Savepoint (prologue)
The prologue (/tutorial) will end here and I would recommend saving to another (autosave) slot upon finishing “Into Madness”, in case you’ll want to start a new game in the future.

Story Mission

• Dinki-Di
  Wasteland Mission given by Chumbucket, located at Jeet’s Stronghold. You will be rewarded with the Dog and Buggy project at all Strongholds. Must have accepted Story Mission “A Wasteland Classic” and talked to Jeet.

  WARNING: This mission occasionally bugs out, rendering your entire save useless! The bug won’t let you leave Jeet’s Stronghold because the game thinks you haven’t constructed Dinki-Di’s home, even though you did, there’s even 2 dogs when this occurs. I recommend saving to a different slot before accepting the mission and immediately finishing it. This way you can always load the unaffected save slot.

• Lust for Powder
  Wasteland Mission given by Jeet, located at Jeet’s Stronghold. You will be rewarded with the Armory project at Jeet’s Stronghold. Must have accepted Story Mission “A Wasteland Classic” and Wasteland Mission “Dinki-Di”.
  • Ashes to Ashes
    Wasteland Mission given by Jeet, located at Jeet’s Stronghold. You will be rewarded with the Armory project at Gutgash’s Stronghold. Must have finished Story Mission “A Wasteland Classic” and Wasteland Mission “Lust for Powder”.

Story Mission

In the Buzzard’s Belly
Wasteland Mission given by Hope, located at Gutgash’s Stronghold. You will be rewarded with the Maximum Mag Sniper Rifle upgrade. Must have finished Story Mission “A Piece Tougher”.

• Ghosts of the Past
  Wasteland Mission given by Hope, located at Gutgash’s Stronghold. You will be rewarded with the Demented Chariot vehicle. Must have finished Story Mission “A Piece Tougher” and Wasteland Mission “In the Buzzard’s Belly”.

Ironclad Faith
Wasteland Mission given by Gutgash, located at Gutgash’s Stronghold. You will be rewarded with the Fracas Frame Armor. Must have finished Story Mission “A Piece Tougher”.

Location of Hope (minor spoiler)
Hope moves from Gutgash’s Stronghold to Gastown during Story Mission “Smoke Rises”. She then relocates once more to Deep Friah’s Temple upon finishing Story Mission “Immortal Enemy”.

Story Mission

A Sign of the Gods
Wasteland Mission given by Gutgash, located at Gutgash’s Stronghold. You will be rewarded with 200 scrap. Must have finished Story Mission “Black Magic” and Wasteland Mission “Ironclad Faith”.

As the Wrench Turns
Wasteland Mission given by Chumbucket, located at Deep Friah’s Temple. You will be rewarded with Chum’s Holy Wrench upgrade. Must have finished Story Mission “Black Magic”.

Where There is Smoke
Wasteland Mission given by Deep Friah, located at Deep Friah’s Temple. You will be rewarded with the Thunderpoon of Awe upgrade. Must have finished Story Mission “Black Magic”.

• Torch Them All
  Wasteland Mission given by Deep Friah, located at Deep Friah’s Temple. You will be rewarded with the Blow Torches Side Burners upgrade. Must have finished Story Mission “Black Magic” and Wasteland Mission “Where There is Smoke”.

  This mission can be rather annoying as one of it’s objectives can only be done at night, either keep the game open until enough time has passed or keep yourself busy doing other activities.

Story Mission

Playing with Fire
Wasteland Mission given by Jeet, located at Jeet’s Stronghold. You will be rewarded with the Armory project at Pink Eye’s Silo and Deep Friah’s Temple. Must have finished Story Mission “Smoke Rises” and Wasteland Mission “Ashes to Ashes”.

Story Mission

Beat to Quarters
Wasteland Mission given by Gutgash, located at Gutgash’s Stronghold. You will be rewarded with the Two-Up Bump Bars Ramming Grill upgrade. Must have finished Story Mission “Fumehead’s Debt” and Wasteland Mission “A Sign of the Gods”.

Story Mission

Rustle Dazzle
Wasteland Mission given by The Outcrier, located at Gastown. You will be rewarded with the Crow Caller vehicle. Must have finished Story Mission “Immortal Enemy”.

A Shot in the Dark
Wasteland Mission given by Hope, located at Deep Friah’s Temple. You will be rewarded with the Big Mama Lift Kit. Must have finished Story Mission “Immortal Enemy” and Wasteland Mission “Ghosts of the Past”.

Story Mission

Savepoint (epilogue)
The story will finish during the following three missions and I would recommend saving to another (autosave) slot beforehand. Read the spoiler if you want to know why.

Spoiler (major)
You’ll no longer have access to the Magnum Opus upon finishing “In it for Glory”. This will force you to continue with “All Is Lost Forever”. Once you get back to Deep Friah’s temple you’ll find Hope and Glory to be killed

Challenges (work-in-progress)

This section contains some recommendations on completing certain challenges. Additionally I would also recommend the following:

• Regularly look at the in-game list to remind yourself about unfinished challenges and how to complete them.
• It’s generally a good idea to go for ammo upgrades as soon as they are unlocked, there are multiple challenges which require ammo (shoot tires, Gut Shot kills, destroy vehicles on foot, etc…).
• Car Combat challenges are much easier by doing Death Races, especially when they require specific cars to be used.
• Unequip Max’s “Knuckleduster” and “Wist Armor” upgrades to make Combo Chain challenges easier. Enemies take less damage which means you can hit a single target a lot more, increasing the potential combat chain.

Pull 5 buried vehicles out of the sand with the Harpoon

Buried vehicles are located in sandy (as opposed to rocky) areas. I’ve found at least two around Jeet’s Stronghold. Drive around, whenever you see a car wreck go in to slow-motion whilst using the harpoon, buried vehicles will light up and have a tool-tip above them (only when close enough).

Fill the Canteen fully, 30 times (30.000 drops)

Use water pumps as often as you can. Possible ways of forcing yourself to look for water are:

• Don’t construct the Maggot Farm project.
• Don’t construct the Water Storage project. Refilling your canteen using the Water Storage project counts towards this challenge.
• Don’t eat food, unless a related challenge hasn’t been finished.

Defeat 5 enemies by impaling them with a Thunderstick

Stand your ground whenever you come across a Thunderstick weapon rack, let the enemy come to you or keep running back and forth to grab one. This challenge is rather difficult if you haven’t paid any attention to it, especially because Thundersticks are mostly found in camps, with no enemies to be found once captured.

Defeat 24 vehicles by T-boning

Destroy any vehicle by ramming in to the side of it. This includes vehicles without a driver, so you might as well shoot the driver (required for another challenge), and keep T-Boning it until destroyed.

Perform 25 Jaw Breakers

Jaw Breakers are performed by doing a heavy strike whilst an enemy is attacking you. Timing is important here, you have to hit the enemy when the counter icon appears on screen.

Disarm 15 enemies

Get the “Reversal” and/or “Master Melee Reversal” skill to disarm an enemy upon parrying them. The first requiring a perfect parry, the second allowing a reversal during a normal parry.
