About This Guide

General Weapons/Vehicles Info
There are 5 different weapon emplacements and 4 different vehicles that are found by default in Free Roam. Fultoning these items will help add to your PF score and can help unlock certain Challenge Task List rewards.

The lists and maps in this guide only display what is available in Free Roam, because different missions will add or remove certain vehicles and weapons are generally consistent, so that if you Fulton all the machine guns from a specific outpost, visiting that outpost during a mission will see them still missing. Furthermore, the "Eliminate the Armored Vehicle Unit" and "Eliminate the Tank Unit" Side Ops will add 1 or 2 mortars within the mission area, but the Side Ops are random and repeatable so I didn't include them here.

If you select DD as your buddy, he can help identify weapons and vehicles from 120m away, but he often has difficulty marking them if there are a lot of guards present, so I thought this guide would be a good reference in place of DD.

If you want mission specific vehicles locations, check out this guide: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2855875884


How Often Do They Respawn?
From my testing, weapons respawned after 5 missions, but vehicles respawned after every mission (stationary and patrol vehicles). This means if you end missions by leaving the hot zone on land instead of by chopper, you can hijack a vehicle and take it to your next mission, which will capture the vehicle and send any other previously captured vehicles back to Mother Base. And then you can do the same thing again with the same vehicle before your next mission. If you want a bunch of vehicles, it's a good way to easily add to your totals.

What's Included?
First is a table of the total quantities of each weapon.

Then there's a list of every outpost/guard post with an index of what's available at each location, along with a short list of the three locations that have the most of each specific weapon/vehicle.

Then there are maps of the patrol vehicles routes.

Finally, there are individual maps of every outpost/guard post with weapon and vehicle locations marked.

Total Weapons / Vehicles Per Region

First, here's a list of the total number per region. Aside from mortars, there are two variants of each weapon/vehicle but only one appears in each region, so if you're looking for a specific variant, make sure you're in the right AO. Also listed are abbreviations used for the rest of this guide.

Truck Patrol Route Maps

Reading the Maps
Patrol routes are drawn as red paths and stop points are drawn as blue dots. Vehicles will travel along their route until they reach a stop point and then the driver and guard will park and exit the vehicle for a short time. Then they will get back in and drive until the next stop point or they will hit the end of their route and turn around. Some paths are circular or cross over, so the directions they travel are indicated with arrows in those cases, otherwise the vehicle will travel back and forth along the same path.

The best place to catch up to them is at their stop points or when they are going through guard posts, as they will slow down quite a bit.



Afghanistan


Angola-Zaire

As indicated on the image, the vehicle patrol that goes through Bwala ya Masa will only stop and exit the vehicle at its stop point when it's travelling North. When going South it will keep driving until it turns around at the end of its path.

Closing and Thanks

I double checked every location and the surrounding areas for any stray weapons or vehicles and I believe I got them all. But, if I missed any, please let me know and I'll do my best to get it updated quickly.

Thanks to Atvaark on GitHub for GzsTool and FtexTool which allowed me to make these maps in the first place.
