Only 1 journalist stash in Garbage?
Made my way to the garbage, picked the first journalist stash near detention centre. Eventually made my way to the maze and could not find the stash. Are there specific conditions for having that one spawn?

If it's on your map, it should be there. Are you sure you looked in the right spot?

Its there, the maze however does live up to its name.

The stash in the maze was not visible on my map. What are the conditions for it to appear?

2 of the Journalist stashes are PRE ORDER ONLY.

Remember the breakdown of the 13 stashes. 12 once found unlock the 13th, but since 2 are preorder only this means 10 for everyone with ultimate edition.

3 of those 10, are ultimate edition, so if your deluxe edition, your only having to find 7 prior to that 13th.

However, even without all the stashes, you can get the 13th, just by using the code for the door, if you know it or look it up.

Anyway, that particular stash in the maze (traveler suit I think), is one of the 2 that is for pre order only. (The other being the named Vintar at the village on edge of swamps.)

No, criminals pirate games.

This makes people pre-order games.

Not the same.

Yeah, but its also bad on the other side, when you get a preorder bonus, then a couple months later a game releases that stuff free to everyone.

Leaves you with that "why the hell did I preorder?" feeling.

In this case, its not so bad. The suit isn't all that great, and there are 2 other unique rifles that use the same caliber as that Vintar. I still wish I could have them thou.

With the Tourist's suit, you're not really missing up anything.

It's basically your average Sunrise suit, it DOESN'T provide an extra bonus to max weight (unlike its versions in previous games, from where its description is copy-pasted) and its only default bonus is having a +5% stamina upgrade pre-installed.

And it's also yellow.

The Exo-Skeleton you get from the Ultimate Edition's also worse than one in the default base game.

The worst part is that you get the Ultimate edition one WAY after you find the best Exo-Skeleton. It would be okay if the Ultimate one was the first you could find before the base game one but hey ...

Really? Bummer. Oh well, at worst that's still free coupons.

It's a pity because the light Merc suit is AWESOME early game instead

I preordered the Ultimate, I still have one stash on Garbage. No idea why, all game DLCs enabled in Steam. I still have the quest, to find the Garbage stash, I got it, both box empty...

That has to be the most convaloded sh!t I've ever heard why not break the dlc in different stashes something tells me that was a last minute scramble to justify a deluxe and ultimate version. That's disappointing im not sure which version i got. So if I at least got the deluxe version I should have 12 journalist stashes right? Cause I'm only getting the on in garbage and the swamp.

DLC content IS scattered across several different stashes. You even get to know all their exact locations at once. It just becomes available after you unlock the exit from the starting area.
