Region: Desolation Point - Hibernia Processing questions?

[mapperkids]

Hi,

I'm at Hibernia Processing as my base. I found the safe locked, but I can't find any tools to open it. Also, I can't find any weapons like a knife, rifle, gun, arrow, hammer, axes etc... any hints?

the safe open likes any safe does. right until it clicks, then left, then right again
unless you mean the cache outside, you need the key for that which i believe is in a car visor somewhere on the map, cant remember where exactly
depending on the difficulty, tools and weapons will have different spawns. For the most part though, you will need to travel to different maps to get stocked on tools and weapons. Luckily, DP is near CH, where there is a ton of loot

if oyu are on interloper, knives, hatchets, guns, and a lot of top tier gear does not spawn at all

Thanks for the info. I've just started in EASY mode, hoping to find some weapons soon. Do arrows always need to be made with specific materials and within the workbench?

you can find some arrows and arrow heads, but not tons. You need to hit up a forge to make them. They are located in DP on the rikken, forlorn muskeg, the airfield, and broken railroad. you will need to cure a birch branch to create the shafts, an arrowhead, and 3 feathers per arrow. To make the arrowheads, you need a hammer, and about 8ish pieces of coal to get the forge hot enough to use

Wow, a lot of steps to make one arrow, it seems try find some riles/gun may be easier.

definitely. the bow in stalker and below is really just there for when you run out of ammo, which you will at some point. Its end game content, just like hide clothing and hand made tools

On desolation point there is an area called katie's corner where you can find a bow and arrows on easier difficulties.
https://thelongdark.fandom.com/wiki/Katie%27s_Secluded_Corner
But your arrowsband your bow will eventually break, so you need to find a hatchet or hacksaw to some maple and birch sapling to make new bows and arrows.
When your arrows break, dont forget to recycle them to get the arrowheads back.
You'll also need feathers found around corpses and carcasses and cured guts from animal that you have to dry up inside buildings.

Or you can find a rifle or revolver, keep looking you should find one somewhere in a building.
Check everywhere, under beds, etc.
If you dont one on desolation point tey another region, the nearby coastal highway have plenty of indoor locations.

You will need a heavy hammer, some scrap metal, a means of lighting a fire, some wood and coal to forge arrow heads and (with a couple of cloth) improvised knives and hatchets, if needed. A hacksaw to make scrap metal and a tool kit to make repairs to the hacksaw.

For reference 10 scrap, 10 (actually 7 if you get a decent [+10 C] wood fire started) coal, 2 cloth would suffice for one improvised knife, one improvised hatchet, and four arrow heads. It will take all day to do the forging. Forging temp is minimum 150 C.

Note that with the release of the DLC back Dec 2022, the two usual spawn sites for rifles - in Hibernia and in Scruffy's cave - no longer apply as before. You're more likely to find a revolver somewhere than a rifle.

Good luck.

Thanks for all the advice. Regardless of how hard it will be to collect those items, I'm having a lot of fun in the game. Thanks again!

If you have the TFTFT DLC then there are four special rifles dotted around the Island. Since the split last December ordinary rifles are more random. I've not really paid attention to that being a Loper, but it seems the 'usual places' no longer apply.

Hmm, I don't have that DLC yet.

i thought it was 270?

Since you are in DP and I guess "easy" means Pilgrim, I'm pretty sure you will find a bow and arrow or two at Katie's secluded corner. DP is not a big map, just keep exploring and you will find it ;)

Good luck! Stay warm!
