The Cycle: Frontier has finally fully released a few weeks ago. As such, those who have played the Early Access version will notice some changes in some key areas of the game. In particular, weapon crates and hidden stashes are now placed in various locations depending on the map you’re playing on.
In this guide, I’ll show you where you can find all the hidden stashes and weapon crates on the Bright Sands map.
Weapon Crate and Hidden Stash Locations on Bright Sands in The Cycle Frontier
Needless to say, looting every weapon crate and stash you come across is quite important. That’s because they have a chance of giving you some very rare armors and weapons. This is especially true if you’re inside high-danger areas.
There are lots of hidden stashes and weapon crates on the map. To be precise, you’ll come across 40 hidden stashes which are scattered throughout various locations. They’re as follows:
