Finding hidden cache locations in Atomfall is a great way of getting spare crafting resources, items, and recipes, though you’ll need a metal detector first. There are a few places you can get one; barter for it with Reg in the Slate Mine Caves, grab one for free near the radio tower in Slatten Vale, or even filch a free one from a scientist’s corpse at Brinsop Manor in Skethermoor.
When you get close to a hidden cache your trusty detector will let you know, and then it’s just a case of following the little red light and unearthing your find. Hidden caches aren’t quite as exciting as you might have expected, but if you’re looking for a particular recipe, crafting resource, collecting lunchboxes, or looking for leads, this list of cache coordinates should help if you have a browse.
This list isn’t complete since there are an absurd number of caches in the game, and it’s also worth noting you can find some caches in the Interchange, though that map has no coordinates.
