List All Places to Find Hatchet

[Fridge Lord]

I forgot. Can we list all the places where the hatchet can be looted?

Mystery Lake: Forestry Outlook (laying out), Trapper's homestead (laying out).
Coastal Highway: Gas station (tool chest?).

That's all I can remember?

Coastal Highway: there are a lot of hatchets, possibly. Check the dead bodies in the upper floors, sometimes they hold a hatchet in their left hand. I also found a hatchet in the gas station, below a tire rack (crawl around and use the lantern). Lots of prybars too, also look behind the toilets.

Sometimes a corpse up at the end of the catwalk in the Dam has one beside their left hand.

Coastal Highway: second floor of the buildings that have a corpse in second floor. Hatchet beside the corpse's hand.

It's random that how many hatchet actually spawn, though.
I go 2~3 from coastal, one time. This time I only have one hatchet in the whole map.

Oh O.o but you always will find a hatchet in first floor of houses ^_^

Haha.

Thanks for the tips guys! Yeah it can happen though.. My last big run there was also 1 hatchet on the whole map ;(

Below the tire rack in the gas station seems to be a consistent locale, but you must be thorough in your search.

Most consistent in ML has been the burned out hut in deadfall, one is usually there, but not 100% of the time. This current run (stalker, 20 days in) actually found 3 so far, the deadfall hut, forestry lookout and a corpse had one somewhere (can't remember which one) - so rich on hatchets and knives this run, but almost no clothes, always something.

1. Please look at the dates on threads you're reading. This thread is over a year old. Necroposting is poor nettiquette as it brings up dated and inaccurate information.

2. Case in point, there are no guaranteed spawn locations for any tool. They're randomly selected from a loot pool for each position. Some of them have a very high rate for specific items so that they will frequently spawn there but it is not guaranteed.

3. Even though a specific location may not spawn a specific tool every time, Hinterlands has said on several occasions that for certain high value tools, there will always be at least one in each map region. They have only specifically identified a few items, but the hunting rifle, hatchet and sewing kit are among them and the implication is that there are probably several other tools such as the knife that are included in this category.
