Minefields and buried cars...

[UncivilS3rvant]

Is there any way of identifying buried cars and minefields without Chumbucket mentioning either as you go past or taking the dog out in the buggy?

I'm assuming that even though minefields are marked on the map once identified, the buried cars aren't?

Buried cars are random. Minefields are usually on convoy routes about 3 to each region.

Buried cars, as in the ones you drag out of the sand/ground, are NOT random.. They are always in the same spot. In fact there are 6 in Jeet's territory, so you can get both "Amateur Archaeology" and "Junk in the trunk" challenges for pulling them out of the sand them done early.

As for identifying them there are 2 or 3 ways;

1, sometimes, not always. Chum will tell there is one nearby.
2, if you drive close enough to one a message will appear above it.
3, remember what they look like, as they look different to other rusted out buried cars, and remember where they are for future playthrus.

As for minefields, same as above... (There are 2 per region, exept for Colossus in Jeet's territory that only has 1)

Drive close enough without hitting one and the icon appears on map. Also if you see a large bunch of burned out cars in a "circle" area then it is porbably a minefiled.

You can use this to find buried cars:

Finding minefields was always a bit annoying for me.
I spared it until everything else was done, then I took the buggy and used google for some map screenshots with the minefield locations.
Was too lazy to search them for myself. XD

Well it's a start, but hardly complete, as there are 6 that I have found in Jeet's territory. Which is all you for completeing the 2 related challenges...

I don't think you need to find every single one, so it's fine

Lol, I do that in the very beginning, so to do the most fun activities last.
Since some missions (I try to get the V8 ASAP) require threat reduction.
