Nuka World Random Encounters

[Tavman (4)]

Does anyone know of the locations for the Nuka World Random Encounters?

The only ones I can find are:

* The sheds near the Galactic Zone
* The house east of the Red Rocket station
* Near the Grandchester Mystery Mansion

[B.O.S.]

the first I found was going South, there are some houses, an unmarked location... behind the houses you can find all kinds of things: flying-ants, crickets, merchants...

there are many of those all over the place... but they offer no quests or relevant content imo...

You have to keep in mind that the random locations are generally subsets; as far as I'm aware, there isn't any one location that's valid for all random encounters, but some will be valid for encounters that can be place on somewhere like a road (or don't care), some will involve things like different groups of enemies fighting each other (like the house near the Nuka World Red Rocket), and so on. You've probably run across more random encounters than you realize.

For example, there's a house east of the Nuka World railway terminal where radnom assortments of gunners/super mutants/gang raiders fight each other, the shovel museum has something similar, and so does the collection of sheds against the outside of the north-west (I think) wall of the Galactic Zone, and there's a junk tower along the north border of the map with more people fighting. There's a camp west of that junk tower where a variety of encounters can happen, one that happens near a large tree along the road that runs north from near Grandchester Mystery Mansion, and I remember one in the east that you can almost see with a scope from the gunner camp on the sections of overpass. There's another location on the middle island between the parks, and one near the western gate of Kiddie Kingdom (which may or may not be an encounter that permanently sets to a particular thing after the first time you go there).

Some of the random stuff can also seem fairly low-key, like some crickets near a destructible car.

to be honest nuka world feels unfinished, the locations of things are so much further apart then on the main map or far harbor, alot of dead areas could have had so much more potential

oh well, I loved both Far Harbor and Nuka World, but it's a fact that the free areas in Nuka World is not so big, and mostly unexciting... A few exceptions, of course. Some non-plot/quest areas I liked in Nuka World:
Bradberton city.
The Overpass.
Evan's home.
The mansion at SW.

different groups of enemies fighting each other

I found those cool at the beginning (and a mine for spawn-able loot) but they get boring soon.
And pretty pointless imo... What is the point to wait for two NPCs groups to kill themselves, then to finish the survivors of the "winner" group, then to go back next day to find the same scene?

Speaking of Far Harbor, where are the locations of the random encounters? The only one I found was located at the intersection near the cinema.

When you say "Random encounters," are you talking about locations where you can find the Nuka-World Raiders attacking Scavengers/Gunners? There's a tall tower-like structure north of the Nuka-World Power Plant and east of Dry Rock Gulch.

Yes and there are others like where a pack member was sent on a mission but subsequently died.

The locations where you witness one encounter and when you return it is a different encounter.

There is a Nukalurk queen inside the little pond by the dam. North I think

Where is this and in which direction from that overpass?

Looking west towards the parks. I had a pack of gazelles there sometimes, but I forget what turned up on other occasions. From what I recall, I had to descend from the overpass to check the spot, which was annoying because it required crossing back to the first section of overpass (it being higher than I wanted to jump).
