Golden Cone locations (hints/solutions both available)

Looking for the last cone for the achievement? Or just starting the hunt yourself instead? Here you can find both hints on where to find them, as well as the direct location of all the 10 Golden Traffic Cones in the game.

Intro

This guide will show you the location of the cones in different ways, but will of course include some spoilers for the story.
If you just want a little nudge, the first section will show you a couple of sectors there will NOT be a cone in (So you can strikes those of your own search-list)
If you want to know what sector the cones are in, the second section will show the sector each cone is in, devided in the different zones of the game
Finally the third section will show you the location of each cone, again devided by zone, so if you're just here for the achivement or money, that's the place for you to go.

Where NOT to look

With only 10 cones and 31 areas (yes the 32nd final zone all by its own I'll just give you does not contain one) , there are 21 areas you don't have to look, so let's remove a couple of them per zone of the game already:

Starting Zone (aqua)

* Onyx
* Dependency Loop
* Three Kings

Sunny Zone (yellow)

* Gamma Valley
* H€ll's Pocket

Rainy Zone (blue)

* Haze Way
* Meteor Ridge

Strange Zone (purple)

* Bermuda Gap
* Dustbrook
* Enigma Belt

All together on a map (again where NOT to look)

What zones to look in

Now, here are the 10 zones the cones can be found in, without spoiling the exact location. Do be sure to get/upgrade your scanner, or it will be quite tricky to find them without further help:

Starting Zone (aqua)

* Edgeburgh
* Purity
* Junk Fields

Sunny Zone (yellow)

* Shatterstone
* Redsock

Rainy Zone (blue)

* Purgatory
* Crossvale

Strange Zone (purple)

* Kingsweave
* Binary Point
* Solitude

Exact Cone Locations

Below are the locations of all the cones, both with instructions and images.

Steam hint:
Because of the way spoilers work, as well as that I didn't want the Guide to be too large, the images might be a bit small at times, and you can't click the image to enlarge in normally.

To work around this:
Right-click the spoiler-text of the image you want to see, then left-click on the image itself.

Starting Zone (aqua)

1

Edgeburgh

In the back-left corner of the place, behind Cloverleaf, on an asteroid there.

2

Purity

Between Emerald Junction and Atlas Prime in the centre of a low section of buildings with iron beeams in-between them.

3

Junk Fields

Just below the reclamation-section, hidden in the scrap ready for transport.

Sunny Zone (yellow)

4

Shatterstone

You go to this place during one of the missions. If you do it before/after, it can also be seen from the entrance from Darkside if you angle downwards right away.

5

Redsock

On top of the Sunburst Condo-building

Rainy Zone (blue)

6

Purgatory

Purgatory Penitentiary, back building on the top light, facing towards the entrance

7

Crossvale

Look for the gate to the Enigma-belt, below it is a train-line, follow that to the end-station on the lone astroid, there you'll find the cone on the beams of the dish

Strange Zone (purple)

8

Kingsweave

A fairly tricky one to find (and my personal last one to find). If you take a straight line to/from Dustbrook to/from Zeta's Arch, 3 kilometres from it (at around the height of the gas-station as well) you'll find it floating in a satellite.

9

Binary Point

In front of the Denton Spaceport is a "diner" like area, it's in a vent on the edge of one of those buildings.

10

Solitude

Look left as you enter the sector and you'll see a lighthouse, the building on the back-right houses the cone one one of the beams.

Credits

And there you have it, all 10 cones to fill up your cab, or be sold for some cash







Again thanks Kecske for making the nice map of the game with all points visible at once.

@RySwooperTrooper Just giving the zones a random name since they don't have an official name as far as I know, without using any/many spoilers (and as a counter-part to the "sunny" zones)

[RySwooperTrooper]

Rainy? There's no rainy zone.

Do you mean the Mineral colonies in the electrical charge area? Just because it's blue doesn't mean water, lol

[NEHOKU/PADA]

Merci, Perfect info!

[Zalym]

OK, FurRiffic, thank you! I think they'll be some of the last things I work to get anyway so hopefully I'll have the funds to keep the gravity on by then and keep them from flying around the cabin. :)

[FurRiffic]

@Zalym I have never tried, since I wanted them all for the picture, but they are counted as soon as they are dislodged (since that is when I got the achievement with the last one) instead of inside the cab, so I would think they can be sold right away.
At the very least they don’t have a damage-meter, so even if they do get knocked about, it doesn’t matter for the sell-price.

[Zalym]

Cool guide, thank you!

I'm going to save it in case I get stuck. Here's (probably) a dumb question, do I have to keep all 10 for the achievement or am I good to sell them immediately--I can imagine they are obnoxious to fly around with in the cab.

[Kecske]

You're welcome!
Nice guide with 'choose your own' level of spoilers.
Well done!
