Fire In The Hole solution

Location: Wellington Residence

Rewards: 3 x perk magazines, $1,000

The location you're looking for is south of Orville Creek (which is due south of the Miller Residence. It can be quite a hike, so pack a decent shotgun so you can take out any predators that might cross your path on the way.

Look out for a pair of NPCs camping on the left-hand side of the river, as one of them will have a clue to the Prepper Stash.

You'll eventually reach a bridge. Cross over and look out for some quad bikes parked outside a hut. There four to five cultists in this area, including at least one sniper.

There's also quite a few snakes, so if you're being stealthy, be on the lookout for some slithering dangers as well. When all the cultists have been taken down, read the Prepper Stash clue outside, the head into the hut itself.

Head towards the far left-hand corner and you'll see some wooden planks on the floor. Shoot them to reveal an opening and a ladder. Climb down and you'll enter the mine.

There's a lot of Bliss down here, so be ready for some hazy vision and janky controls. Head forwards and use dynamite to destroy the barrier in front of you.

Now head forwards, turn right and take out the Angel lurking in the shadows. There are two barriers here - the one in front of you leads to a dead end, an Angel and a bag of cash.

The one to your right leads to two Angels. Take them all out and press on.

Turn left, then right and you'll get to another barrier. Destroy it and enter a large cavern wth a chasm in the middle. Shoot the wooden planks blocking the water in the wall to your left and when the water level rises, swim across to the other side.

Take out the Angels then head down the corridor to enter the Prepper Stash.
