Diamonds and where to find them

it's raining diamonds

During the gameplay you will eventually run into cool shiny rocks hidden in various spots of the world.
There are two types of diamonds: small (10.000 GMP) and large(100.000 GMP). Even their picking-up sounds are different lol.

BTW, despite the large number of the diamonds in the game, I haven't seen any in these places:
- The whole north of Afghanistan from Aabe Shifap Ruins to OKB Zero
- Mfinda Oilfield
- Munoko ya Nioka Station
- Lufva Valley

Places with the biggest amount of diamonds (~200.000 - 600.000 GMP):
- Da Wialo Kalai
- Da Smasei Laman
- Kunenga Mine

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE: small diamonds respawn after completing 3 missions, and the big ones only after 5 missions.

Some diamonds appear only in few missions as side tasks. List of them is in the end of the guide.

I don't think it's a list of all diamonds. You can always leave a comment if I missed something :P

Motherbase

Yes, there are diamonds in our own base! Have no idea how they get there though. We are indeed diamond dogs...

Just grab your fellow soldier (they love it, believe me) and command them to speak. Mark will be added to your map. But get ready to climb and crouch to get them.
