    Broken pathways/Routes to loot crates

    While exploring the game I have come across a few locations that have visible loot crates that are unreachable. This is after attempting a thorough search around the surrounding area only to discover that a prop is missing (example a ladder or pad lock).

    I can mention two simple examples that can be found easily (Make sure that the detection perk is activated by donating resources to a control point).

    Locations:
    1. Lat 1711 Lon 2141>>A single red brick building which is in an area that appears to be an outcast plantation ground. The building has one entrance which is on the side facing The Archive safe house. The double doors appear to be missing a padlock for the player to shoot and unlock the door. You will need to have the detection perk activated to observe the loot behind the door or do what I did and shoot a giant hole in to the door to peak inside. There are a few loot boxes on top of the building which I am aware of but, there is also more inside the building.
    2. Lat 2287 Lon 4214>>South of the Hotel Infirmary control point, towards 1st St NW, there is an alley way with a white truck. If you stand on top of the truck and look towards its left side and up, you will spot two grapple ropes opposite each other on the edge of the building. There appears to be a route towards that top area which can be traversed by, heading out the alley way on to 6th St NW, heading towards the intersection but stopping when you spot a food cart on the right hand side up against the wall, climbing this food cart on to the upper level, climbing either of the ladders until you reach the next upper level, heading towards the opposite side from the ladders of the second upper level and dropping down a ledge until you are facing a large wall with a peculiar patch on your right hand side. There appears to be a missing ladder here for the player to climb up and reach an even higher level than the last. If you head back on to the previous rooftop, you will be able to spot a gear cache and the grapple ropes.


    I am currently working on uploading footage if need be but, unless there is some new strategy to reaching these areas, I am positively sure that there are missing props in these instances.

    Hope to hear from someone soon, sorry about the long thread tried to make sure it had as much detail for the directions.

    I can't speak for others but images would be a great help as I know much of the terrain visually off by heart but haven't a clue where lat/long points to without access to the game.

    With regards to the grapple ropes, is that above what looks like a shopping arcade? If so have you tried shooting them? At one point whilst collectible hunting I found that and after circling the block a few times gave up and shot at them out of frustration. Apparently some of the grapple points, not all, you can shoot to make them drop the ropes.

    Hello BigBlessIV, welcome to the forums!

    Could you please provide us with a short video of this occurring? Have you tried to shoot the grapple ropes as @Tanaki suggested?

    Sorry for the late response. I can try to bring up a video on here but, it may take a while because I am generally busy. Shooting the ropes will not work because when aiming at them my reticle does not turn red to indicate a potential target.

    I am actually on PC, but I've spent a good hour looking for a way onto the rooftop he mentions in example #2.

    Here is the link to the screenshots I've posted on Imgur. https://imgur.com/a/F2O8DuF I'll also put them in line below.

    They should clearly show the control point, the alley, the hanging bags, the fact that they cannot be shot down, the intended path, the area for the potentially missing ladder, and the loot box we so desperately want to obtain.

    I have literally tried everything to get to that rooftop without any luck.Even threw grenades at the patch on the wall. Hope they fix this haha. Or maybe we are missing something.

    I have wondered this same thing. Even more strange is that if you are on the cafe roof looking at the loot box, step left to edge of roof, and notice a orange blinking ladder on the building next to the building the loot is on. look up and straight ahead when on roof edge. I even tried underground. no access I could find.
