Treasure hunt

Treasure_hunt Treasure hunt is a gameplay mechanic that lets players embark on exciting adventures.

Obtaining a map

When finding a Caravan encounter, a special guard might spawn. With an awerness perk, this guard is easily recognizable by being the only one low on HP. Otherwise, its always the guard that has a "Talk" action option instead of the regular inspect. Every caravan has its specific special guard and another one will never be designated.

When initiating a dialogue with the guard, there is a low chance of him having a valuable map to sell. Its price differs from caravan to caravan and is always in caps. The more valuable the map, the better rewards at the end.

Once a map is obtained by anyone in the game, the special guard is put on a timeout and will not spawn until another map is aviable.

So i got the map, now what?

Using the map in your inventory triggers the spawn of the treasure. The map's description contains an approximate area where you should be looking for it as well as a code for the treasure.

The treasure is always on encounter maps. You can find the treasure by both getting into a random encounter or dropping down from world map. A specific container on a specific encounter will be the treasure. When you find it, you will be prompted to punch in the pass code, at which point you are free to loot the spoils.

The rewards vary in quality and increase by the value (and the destination) of the map. For instance, a treasure near klamath will contain common items, while a treasure near san francisco will contain high (tho not highest) tier stuff.
