Machete recipe needed?

[Phoenix_Gamma1]

So I have made it to Balboa Island, however I can't seem to make a Machete to make it to Relay Station 6. Have I missed a blueprint somewhere or has the recipe not been implemented yet? I've been up and down balboa island and can't find that or the wrench that's suppose to be in a clearing. Thanks for the assist

After you kill mama bear you will find it in her cave.

You don't really need to kill mama bear. Just go in her cave while she is distracted eating berries.

Even if I kill mama bear I can't get the machete inside the cave. What is wrong?

[BAD *Man]

just put the berries
crouch far away on the hill behind the bear and jump down in the cage

u can then ! pick the machete and research it in yout RAFT !

You dont need to fight the bear !

just hold e ..it take some time to loot the box :) or join a game of a friend ..let him craft a machete and take it ...

I tried already with the berries. Same result. No machete. I play in harmless mode. Is this a bug that machete is not appearing in that mode?

Shouldn't be. I think the machete qualifies as a quest item.

Pretty sure, you can't carry blueprints or items from one save to another.

Machete is NOT a quest item.

Check in your research table you might have it already but just need to research it.

So you can get to all the radio towers on balboa without the machete?

I ask this rhetorically because you cannot get to all of them without it. Hence, qualifying it as a quest item.

Quest items stay in your journal and cannot be used in the game any other way. Machete can be used as a weapon. It is required to proceed to one of the relays stations - YES.

Then everything in the game is a quest item by that definition.
Pretty sure you won't make it a lot of islands, without reseaching anything :D

It is a needed item, but not a quest item.

Well it is a tool that will define wether you are gonna proceed the story.
Kind of important if you ask me :)
