There are 6 buddies in each map. - Here are locations of all UT's as best I can remember -
You have one in the Goka Falls River Complex that's actually a bit west at the top of the
hill and on the west side the N.S. road.

War Wagon Locations

[EDIT] - Made about 5 additions since posting yesterday. - Now confirming accuracy
of my memory - Hope there are no more changes. Will post updates as necessary.

Thanks so far, i noted the northern ones on a map i printed out lol..i found one too 30 mins ago: At Lumber is a small channel to the southwest, leading away from lumber, and when this channel ends, there is a base also, or a camp..this has a UT too.

I loaded up a bad-quality-map to imgur, if interested. It has 5 spots so far, i did not count the patroling ones in, hard to mark them on this map. Correct me, if i marked some spots wrong;))

You're now credited in the guide in - Consultants - for inspiring that map;
Nine Parked and three patrols. A nice even dozen.

- Thanks so much - !8 D

Oh wow, thanks ! It was just a little idea and what a bad map i posted ;))
I found out that on southern map are more of these, and even normal pick-ups with grenade throwers, want me to submit data too or do you have them already ?

No, I'm just a grateful leach for the creative inspiration. There's already a patrol map
for vehicles but I've not seen a locator for parked vehicles. - Many won't care but it
will make a difference for some, and those are the ones I made the guide for ;D

Geeze, man.. any help you can offer is greatly appreciated - !

I'm happy to do the maps if I have the info- I'm trying to place the markers as exactly
as possible to where they appear on the map - so descriptors like "2 car lengths west
of the road" or some such would help.

From memory - (all based on what I've found in the Realism+Redux Mod)

I've avoided this area for a long time, so I'm not sure but I think there's 1 patrolling
the NW triangle at the first checkpoint.

- 4 on the western side of the map
- patrolling from the Post Office west to the SW Radio Tower
- parked at the Outpost in the N central desert
- parked at the checkpoint south of Sepoko
- parked at the Weapons Shop east of Mosate Saleo
- Patrolling from the East Rail Yard South to the river checkpoint
- Parked at the East Rail Bridge
- Parked at Martens Sepolo Pipeline Company
- Parked on the N Side of the SE Lake Road E of the Bus Station

Holey ____, that's 12 . - That might be all of them, that's all I could find in the N map

( so far ; ] )

If you discover any others on either map please let me know.

Ok i will look for more then. Btw, i would like to suggest to work out the difference. I mean, new players might not understand, why the UT and the grenade-launcher-pickups are mapped of their own.
Explaining the superior firepower of the UT-gun( sort of heavy MG i think) helps much to clear bases and checkpoints from far. Even snipers on towers i got with the UT-weapon, from far. Not very easy but doable. I guess, it has double range of the normal MG of pickups, you find everywhere. And much more dmg also.
And the grenade launcher is self explaining heh..much fun to plaster the area in front of you with a endless supply of grenades from the pickup, range is pretty high also.

Buddies in southern map: At the beginning of this map i went to the bowaseko brewery, to free the buddy there, but the door was locked, could not get him out. Seems i have to get the quest to rescue him ?
I will try to get snake bite in the western desert, actually i have 2 buddies, i don't want to restart the game because of the rescue-buddy-bug

No more time tonight for me - But -

If you've arrived safely at Mikes' Marina Bar you should be able to free buddies.
If not, do a weapons shop mission first and then try.

Lots more to comment on the above but it'll have to wait - possibly 24, depending
on the weather..

- Thanks for all the input 8 )

Yvw:)...and take care because of the weather stuff, we got here rain without end, its high in summer, pretty crazy !
Btw i were able to free the guy at the brewery, have 5 buddies now. Snake bite in the desert is not there, seems not in the game. Do i miss a buddy ?

Since you got all UT-locations in southern map, i will try to post in here the grenade-launcher-jeeps i find.
The last 2 i got were from shooting patrols out of their seats. Another grenadelauncher-jeep, seems most of the patrolling jeeps in the southern map use grenade launchers. I found out a upgrade of the safe house is offering jeeps with the heavy MG also, i very often(always ?) have standing one at a safe house.


- another UT, not sure if you got it: northnortheast of Polytechnic, the health station which has 3 roads hitting it, has parked one too
- UT, a bit to the northwest to the soutwestern gun shop, there is parked one
- a boat with a grenade launcher parked at bowaseki brewing Co.

In Realism+Redux they moved the buddy back to Sediko because people weren't reading
the directions that were included in release. - Too bad.. I really liked the mission.

Yes the heavy MG you're referring to is a 50 caliber. - In addition to the N map vehicles
the south adds the big fishing boat, and fan boats with 50 cal. and launchers plus two
new vehicles - regular jeeps with mounted 50 cal. and grenade launchers.

Rather than making maps for each vehicle I'm combining them in one map using
different colors for each. Would be nice to have locations for the new boats too. 8 )

Great - Thanks! Making notes for production which I hope to have done this week.

Got the one north of the SW W Shop - Thanks.

- First Grenade Boat location noted - Looking forward to this project, Not doing
all vehicles - I think the maps would be a mess if I did, but the heavy machinery
are certainly worth identifying.

- Thanks so much for the help ! 8D

Because they're the heavy hitters that players want to either destroy or get their hands on.

Though hits are generally very effective what I personally don't like about mounted guns
is bullet spray because one generally has more misses than hits it lowers your bullet hit
percentage.

Most don't care but since I started playing pistol only where every shot matters that percentage has become much more meaningful to me. - Also, for many years I had
a glitch that got me stuck on any mounted gun that wasn't on a land vehicle, so I
stopped using them entirely, and now I don't even use the vehicle ones as well.

Pistol is my only projectile weapon. - The acid test for me was the Barge Escort
mission. Sniping the rocket launcher and mortar guys from the barge with the star.
When I accomplished that I swore off using any mounted weapons.

Ya, I'm pretty sure the captured buddies aren't available in the south map until you've completed one side mission. - Weapons Shop missions are available so if you do one
of those first it should make the rescues available.

- Thanks for the feed - 8 )

Sorry i forgot half a sentence, i wanted to suggest that you explain in your guide, why UTs are so nice to get, and grenade launcher vehicles.

Because you asked for locations of new boats like the little trawler, its south of mosate selao, at the bus stop.

Ah.. Good point ! - I'll include a brief statement on the power hitters because I don't want
to detract or repeat too much info in Raging Raiders vehicle guide that's included in mine.

#2 Boat Location noted ! [EDIT] - is that a 50 cal or GL ?

Nvr mind - I'm about to head back to the south map and check the entire eastern
half for all locations, including Mosate Saleo harbor. -> Thanks ! <- [E]

it's just such a fishing boat, the gun is a normal mg..but you said you want the new boats also, so i mentioned it.
thirdkeeper Aug 2, 2023 @ 11:49am 
Oh, sorry, no.. I'm only doing the heavy hitters.

- The map will be a bit cluttered if I'm not careful, and vehicles with regular weapons aren't of particular interest to players like the others are.

I did consider an all vehicles map - but it would be a mess. Even just including standard
weaponed vehicles would be much more colorfully confusing and harder to read.

Very glad you mentioned it !
Reskal Aug 3, 2023 @ 10:20am 
Hey, i'm done with my actual playthrough, making a break for a while ! Thank you for all the help and hints, have fun:)
thirdkeeper Aug 3, 2023 @ 10:59am 
Thanks to you Rescal. - Helped to launch a worthwhile project and I'm happy to take
it from here 8 )
