Where do you find bolts in Rattlesnake Springs?
It took me ages to FINALLY get a quest that included a dowel instead of finding it in a desk, but where do i find bolts? Are they just randomly in desks occasionaly or do they spawn anywhere in particular more reliably?

I'm also suggesting increasing the spawn rates for those items, and some others that have low spawn rates in other prisons.

You're more likely to find them in the guard only areas- the Northern building usually has a couple lying around.

They can only be found in the northern building, as far as I'm aware.

Nope they spawn in prisoner desks or from quests as well.

But sadly Bolts and Dowels are both very very rare.

To be honest to do the Zip line Escape I ended up just restarting until I found both on the first day.

I had the Dowel spawn in my desk, a second one in my roomates and got the bolt from a quest.

Once you kow the prison it isnt hard enough to just wait it out.

Most of my play time has been purely to do this escape going days and days to try have one or the other appear.

Just finished Rattlesnake Springs with a friend today. I've seen bolts spawning in desks and in NPC "shops". But yes, it is very rare.

Dowels are even rarer in desks :/

All in all it seems parameter break is still the "easier" way to do things since it requires relatively less rare items.

They probably could change things up a little, making certain items spawn in only certain areas/or require specific conditions to get rather than straight up MMO style 2% "drop chance".

Funnily enough, I got a dowel day 1 in Rattlesnake Springs, but had to get the bolt in the guarenteed desk.

May I ask, where is the guaranteed desk?
