where the F is a shovel? (spoilers?)

[Good Coffee]

Trying to get the first "!" completed that has the grave site and a shovel icon and have not been able to figure out how to dig it up. I'm assuming a shovel, and have scoured caves and paths and camps but haven't found anything that can help. Has anyone figured this out its driving us crazy?

Acidext made a guide on where to find it, just go to guides and search for 'shovel' you'll see it

[kesonjus]

Yeah, must be pretty special dirt to require a magic shovel and not just a stick to move dirt.

I always think the same thing. My character is a complete idiot lmao
Needs tape to make a spear, needs a turtle shell to collect water while holding 5 tarps... genius

I'm refunding the game because of this.

You'll find c4, guns, watches, flashlights, solar panels, etc all over the map.

Very first mission you need to dig some dirt. So I can make timed explosives, sticky bombs traps, etc. But make a shovel? NOPE. You have to find the ONE shovel in the entire map. And you'd never find it if it werent' for youtube. Ninja please.

YouTube is not required. If you bothered to pick up the various clues through the game it will point you to where everything is.

The game has its problems, but finding the caves isn't one of them... they're all marked on your gps ffs.

But how are you supposed to know to find a shovel in a cave without help from YouTube

By playing the game and exploring.

You're not supposed to *know* where anything is... you're meant to explore.

Why is a shovel in a cave deep underground where it is almost entirely useless

[BORG]

The game is quite linear.

To pad play time. That's literally 90% of this game's content. Padded play time.

The problem with the shovel isn't the difficulty in finding it. The problem is how much effort to get it, then not so much.

And in a situation where I have to dig no more than 4 inches down...

However it's a game.
