These cables predominantly appear in zones marked Electric, Commercial, or Residential. However, early arrivals often deplete these areas, necessitating alternative approaches.

Underground Metro Zones

  • Explore Piazza Arbusto‘s commercial section and adjacent supply containers
  • Scour workstations at Space Travel and Research
  • Inspect residential complexes like Santa Maria Houses for hidden compartments

Orbital Complex

  • Loot technical stations in Fuel Control sector
  • Check maintenance panels within Control Tower A6

Hydroelectric Outposts

Dam Battlegrounds Power Cable locations
  • Prioritize eastern depots near Power Generation Complex – examine workstation drawers thoroughly
  • Southern storage units between Water Towers and Electrical Substation typically yield multiple units
  • Technical buildings around Testing Annex often contain overlooked caches

While Hydroelectric zones offer abundant opportunities, persistent exploration across other regions using electrical infrastructure maps proves equally rewarding.
