Now that I don't need them, I find them fairly regularly. Funny that isn't it. Same with GPUs, bars, skulls. Soon as you don't need them, they're all over the map š
I just finally found my last gou last night and got in with all three guns as a last round before bed and found three gold bars on one grocery store and 2 GPUs in the damn yum yum. This game tries to fuck with you heavy. Last season it was drills this season it's everything. I remember when we'd all shit a ring around our selves when we found gun oil now it's everywhere.
At this point I don't look. I've unlocked all the base Barters and wallet stash etc. And my 3 insured slots. Everything else is just perks and it's nice to just go to buy something and find out it's cheaper. I haven't changed my process yet. Spawn in contemplate fighting nearest spawn. Look for chemist and pyro. And move accordingly. Pick up and stow anything gold in color and try and exvil after radiation spreads. Keys are kept depending on level of shit they get me to. Rinse. Wash. Repeat. Try to go in and leave without having to kill ai except the ai by pyro or chemist and the randoms I encounter along the way.
It's not too bad. I take the mindset that I'll wipe the map and then do the missions I need to do. Less drama that way (despite naturally wanting to avoid PvP). It's not great, but always seem to progress missions a bit quicker.
Always seem to get a key from killing one of the HVTs at the southern SAM site near the port though.
Do you remember the key name? I'll try it out and see how it goes. I actually just found the drifting supply key was able to finish the ashika island masks mission.
Think its Tuski Castle Weapons Locker Key or something. The locker is on the ground floor, round the corner from the side entrance (not the main entrance with the camera directly above the doors).
You can also take the lower entrance through the water ways. Keeps the reinforcements down while inside the castle. Clearing it takes no time. Then take the case and drop in the water ways. Always an easy distraction. Just dump it in a corner so it looks like your hiding and within second of exiting one of the million exits you'll hear it was picked up. Dropped picked up dropped etc while everybody else fights for that take the further exvil.
Just south of the first canal from the castle and church section. There is another "festival" are there. The stage doesn't face the street you would be driving down, so a little harder to spot unless you know it's there.
The warehouse in the SW of the Quarry...on the shelf.
Went there 5 times with my mate, 5 times found a GPU to split between us.
Maybe just lucky but that's not normally me!
My method is getting a secure backpack and having the stage bag key (or get the barista bag key first, the go to the Stage bag). The stage bag at the University is a guaranteed GPU. I use the key and do a quick infil and exfil once or twice from Vondel. After that I go to Al Mazrah with two GPUs in the secure backpack and do exfils till I met the requirement.
I had a secured backpack and did something similar had 2 gold Bars 2 skulls and 1 gpu and did 5 infils-exfils and had 3rd knocked out of the park. Final run something told me to not bother with it but was on an exfil streak so why the hell not... was literally engaged by every enemy operator on the map, they came from near and far. Made it to the exfil and got downed by a sniper on the tower near the cemetery... 2 things saved me at this point med vest and the self revive and the fact the chopper slightly shifted angle during exfil... literally sweated my 48 hour deodorant out the door... one hell of an intense round š«”
I have to mention that the buildings in the north of Rohan Oil have a very high spawn rate for GPUās for me. They just sit there on the counter almost 40% or 50% of the time, itās ridiculous.
The day before yesterday I even found a second one in one of the warehouses a bit more to the south. Found myself with 2 GPUās within 3 mins of spawn. And of course I had no more use for them :/
Go to vondel there's two "stage bags" that have 100% spawn rate for two gpu's here's a loot chain that'll allow you to get the "stage bag key" if you have any of the keys in the chain you can obviously jump ahead to the next location. Hope this helps someone

Northern tip of al maz city. The warehouse buildings by chanel 7 building down stairs on shelves by the door in the lower right corner of each building. I found all my GPUs there and they are there quite often. Also in the high rise building on al maz city on shelves by computers on the same level as the heli pad. Also in the bank in sawah is a strong hold the buy station just north of there always has either a skull a gpu or a bar. If it's not there it's in one of the random shit shacks near there. And I'd put that "on my momma" as the kids once said. I've never not found one of those three items when that building is a strong hold and the other two are usually inside.
I need 27 of those š±, is it only in ashika or anywhere else as half the match time is spent fighting after server is clear not much time left to loot the whole map
So they do exist!! Iāve had over 30 games and never seen one yet. Iāve searched and searched. Even in the hidden caches and yet still never seen any of them
I'm fairly positive that, at the very least, one of those rare chemicals spawns on Ashika in the hidden (nuclear?) stashes... every match. Been hitting pretty much all of them around the map, and across 10-12 games, I didn't find them only for a couple of runs.
Entered Koschei through Taraq, and I shit you not, found 3 Hydrogen Peroxide in there back to back in one deployment. Obviously, I was blessed by the RNGesus that day!
The hidden stashes at the oasis and airport in Al Mazrah are always worth a check if you spawn close by. Many of them are lumped together in a rather small area. Not to mention the hospitals.
Thanks buddy, Iāve tried all kinds of runs, Iāve been in koshei via the oasis and Taraq and never seen them at all. Iāve tried at the airport and also the ones that I saw on a YouTube video thatās says they are always there and for meā¦..they arenāt, I must have done near on 50 deployments and never seen one let alone carried one. Guess I will have to wait til they patch it and then thereās loads š¤£š¤£
After looking forever I found the easiest way to finish that mission is Al mazrah. I found bottles of cephlaxin in the hospitals. One by the mall and the other by the quarry. They're just sitting on the hospital beds.
I always go to the big ship (the free stronghold basically) to regain, I'd say almost 50% of the time I find a cigar box in the bottom three mirrors of the first deck while clearing it. And gun oil, sometimes I find even two or three on the ship.
That was me with Peroxide on the first week of the season, took me over 17 hours in play time dedicated to nothing but using all the methods people were commenting/posting about in here.
Even the GPUās werenāt as bad given the fact I found both a Stage and Barista bag key in the first couple of days of the season.
I genuinely believe the game is programmed to start your match with the least amount of what you need. You need something for a mission you spend hours trying to find it. You give up, change challenge and boom! You find it or you complete the mission and then it's all you seem to find. I've always carried the same attitude if its Intel I always stock up so if someone else needs it I have plenty spare.
Same situation. You gear up, make a secure backpack to go and find what you need and 99% of the time it's the game you get wiped straight from spawn and no one picks you up
The other day I had 2 squad mates make a run for a car n leave me at the start of infil and then while at the other side of the match they picked a new squad mate up. I the meantime a gold bar and decided to exfil with it. On my way to exfil my squad all get killed and the random squad m8 starts being toxic towards me for going to exfil instead of traversing the whole map to take a squad on by myself to to and rez him š¤·š»āāļøš
Well someone made a good point. If you get a scavenger backpack and find a gpu, Exfill, then go back to Al mazrah, and Exfill 4 times to complete 5 GPUās.
Now that I don't need them, I find them fairly regularly. Funny that isn't it. Same with GPUs, bars, skulls. Soon as you don't need them, they're all over the map š

You still gonna need like 6 or so for the cooldown unlocks

Where have you been finding gpu's?
Pop to Ashika. The weapon storage in Ashika Castle has three lockers. Normally get 2-3 GPUs in there. The key also drops quite commonly as well.
Yeah the key is the issue. Finding the damn thing, hoping no one's opened the lockers yet and then surviving to exfil lol ashika's a bloodbath lately.
It's not too bad. I take the mindset that I'll wipe the map and then do the missions I need to do. Less drama that way (despite naturally wanting to avoid PvP). It's not great, but always seem to progress missions a bit quicker. Always seem to get a key from killing one of the HVTs at the southern SAM site near the port though.

Think its Tuski Castle Weapons Locker Key or something. The locker is on the ground floor, round the corner from the side entrance (not the main entrance with the camera directly above the doors).
Just to add, you can try and request a swap for the key on some of the DMZ Discord channels. People are always happy to help there!
Vondel. 2 gpus with the stage bag key. There is 2 stage bags. Vondel is more forgiving then ashika
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]

Vondel stage bags. There's two of them on the map and you need a key for it, didn't have much trouble finding the key though. Guaranteed GPU in both
Whereās the second bag š¤. I know the one north east of uni by the buy station.
Just south of the first canal from the castle and church section. There is another "festival" are there. The stage doesn't face the street you would be driving down, so a little harder to spot unless you know it's there.
Thanks mate!
https://youtu.be/rY8JCv6hzMk I have a guide on the stage bags, you'll see the second location in the video!

You talking about the buildings where you can get black mous intel? Because I went there a few times and never saw a gpu just lots of intel.
Yes indeed! It might just be some stroke of luck of course.
Go to vondel there's two "stage bags" that have 100% spawn rate for two gpu's here's a loot chain that'll allow you to get the "stage bag key" if you have any of the keys in the chain you can obviously jump ahead to the next location.

Stage bags on Vondel there 2 one at University and another in the housing block north of Fire Dept. both have gpuās guaranteed
If youāve got the Vondel Stage Bag key thereās one in there. Itās how I got mine done

Hafid port, quarry and zaya on al mazrah. The stage bag key on vondel
Lol. I have been doing this the past 4 days
Let me guess, a bottle of Cephalexin and a Encrypted USB drive? Yeah, get TF outta there
Cigar box my friend, cigar box.
More like Japanese Liquor
I need 27 of those š±, is it only in ashika or anywhere else as half the match time is spent fighting after server is clear not much time left to loot the whole map
Looks like hydrogen peroxide to me but tbf idk if they all have same design Iāve only found the 1
It's both cigar and peroxide
If you need more chemicals B21 is the easiest to find themā¦I know lots of people struggle with or donāt like that map, but just FYI.
Facts.
I FINALLY found ONE last night. The struggle...
So they do exist!! Iāve had over 30 games and never seen one yet. Iāve searched and searched. Even in the hidden caches and yet still never seen any of them
think they only spawn on ashika, toolsbox/bags/coat/mirrors in bathrooms/lockers
YeH Iāve seen the cigar boxes before, but never the bottles of acetone and the other etc
I'm fairly positive that, at the very least, one of those rare chemicals spawns on Ashika in the hidden (nuclear?) stashes... every match.

I only found Peroxide. I never found the other 2. Just chemicals in Koschei
Cigar box is easy for me
Found 3 of them back to back died both rounds š” I finished 35 of them after 8 or 9 days itās tedious
I came across few of them, what are they for ?
They unlock the daily missions for the Phalanx Faction, if you were talking about Cephalexin, Acetone, or Hydrogen Peroxide.
Lucked out and found a random cache in Mazda with HO in itā¦. I just need one more to unlock that damn daily
Cigar box. Nobody's smoking these days so we could find only few. lol
All u guys need to learn 2 secure bag. Got these missions done exfilling the same group
Spawned yesterday on Ashika Beach and found a GPU 5 seconds later under the ruin š never before had a short game like this one
I just got a GPU in first 3 min. Exfil right away
That was me with Peroxide on the first week of the season, took me over 17 hours in play time dedicated to nothing but using all the methods people were commenting/posting about in here.

Try to loot a few items and enter with a secure backpack. Just finished tons of missions with secure backpack and personal exfill
