Tracking down the High Banks weapon and gear crates, when you first visit the hilltop town in Once Human, is the trickiest part of its exploration, but you’ll need to find them if you want to complete every objective in the Explore High Banks mission. The town itself isn’t too big, but there are quite a few buildings to investigate, plus a lot of monsters roaming around who make your job harder.

While the Mystical Crate is easy to find—guarded by the elite enemy in the centre of town—the other two are a little way out, so it’s understandable if you missed them. All that said, here’s where to find the High Banks weapon crate and gear crate to complete those objectives and get some loot.
