How to reach the Maintenance warehouse
Open your map and navigate to Dire Marsh. Zero in on the Maintenance sector at the very southern part.
The warehouse building resembles a large garage structure, easy to spot amid the terrain.
Drop downstairs into the garage area right away.
Surroundings feature multiple shelves lining the walls and central spaces. Containers dot the floors and shelves, often hiding the rods inside.
Best spots to check on shelves and corners
Start with the shelves around the garage perimeter.
Rods appear as loose loot directly on them or tucked into containers. Swing to the left corner with the green-tinted area, a frequent spawn point.
Accessing upstairs loot via ladders
Spot ladders scattered throughout the garage. Climb them along with nearby staircases to reach the upper level.
More shelves up top frequently hold additional rods, boosting your chances.
