Shipwreck solution

Location: Tanami Residence

Rewards: $1,000, 3 x perk magazines

For this Prepper Stash you'll need to head the solitary isle of the Tanami Residence. You can find this location in between Joseph's large island and the Whitetail Mountains Rail Bridge (you'll be straddling the border between Henbane River and the Whitetail Mountains).

You'll know you're in the right place because there's a wrecked boat on the shore and a cabin just up the path.

Head towards the front of said cabin to find the Prepper Stash clue. Now turn around and head back down the boat. Look for a small opening just below the waterline on the boat's right-hand side (when looking at it from the shore).

Jump into the water and swim inside the opening. Swim through the wreckage, swim to the right, then swim up the sunken stairs until you breach the surface.

Turn right and you'll enter the wrecked hull of the boat. Collect the bag of loot on the other side of the room then ascend the ladder to the top. Turn left, head down the stairs and you'll enter the cabin.

Flip the switch in front of you and you'll activate the dredger outside. This will rip a way into the side of the island. Jump through the window, down on the arm of the dredge and enter the water. Swim under the water and emerge inside a small cave.

Climb out, turn left and drop down into the next pool and swim down through a longer underwater tunnel. When you see a blue grapple wire look up and you'll see a hatch door. Push it open and climb out. You're now inside a bunker.

Watch out for a rattlesnake just inside the doorway to the right of the locked door. When it's dead, you'll find all the Prepper Stash gear on the table.
