“I have another special site I need you to search for me. An old battleground, from the First Wave. Raiders nowadays usually pick places like that clean, despite the significance they once held. People forget quickly. Quicker than they should.”

Broken Monument: Locations

This quest unfolds in the Dam Battlegrounds, specifically around the Scrap Yard area. You’ll explore a zone filled with broken-down vehicles, cylindrical containers, and Raider camps, each hiding one of the three relics you must collect.

Broken Monument: Tips

  • The quest items: Compass, Video Tape, and Rations can blend with the environment; scan thoroughly.
  • Avoid unnecessary fights by crouching and moving around Raider patrols when collecting each relic.
  • Expect enemy encounters as they frequently patrol the Scrap Yard and Raider Camp, so stay alert. Equip mid-range weapons and carry healing items before starting.
  • The Cargo Elevator (your route back to Speranza) operates on a short timer. Make sure to head there promptly once objectives are done.
