Where to Find the Bomb Craters
There are currently five different bomb crater clustersas of Week 8 of Chapter 3, Season 2. At each one, Loopers can find three different spots to plant saplings, meaning they need only visit one to complete the challenge.
There aretwo craters located south of Greasy Grove,two north of The Daily Bugle, andone southwest of The Joneses. At the time of writing,a bug prevents sapling spots from spawning at the site northeast of the Daily Bugle, so players are recommended tovisit the other locations until a hotfix is released.
Where to Find the Saplings
One of the easier sapling locations is southwest of Greasy Grove, as these three planting locations are clustered quite close to each other.One is found on the north-western edge of the craters,another can be found at the northeast, and a final one at the southern tip.
South-east ofGreasy Grove is another easy place to complete this challenge. At the center of this cluster isone large crater, around which players can find saplings to the east, west, and south.
The saplings atThe Joneses are much more spread out and difficult to find,due to the sheer size of the bomb site. For players in the area, one is found between a brazier and a fallen treenear a pond on the eastern edge of the site.
Another is found directly west of this, near the dirt path leading to Tumbledown Temple. The last sapling is locatednear some tree stumps on the southwest side of the craters.
The site north of the Daily Bugle also features some fairly outspread sapling sites, though they don’t require as much zigzagging acrossthe map as those at The Joneses, as they can be found mostly in a straight line leading away from the house.
One is found south of the brick house, at the southernmost craterbetween the two driveways;another is found just north of the house by a large bushalong the dirt path, anda final one is found at the northmost crater.
Be sure to keep an eye on the minimap while searching for the saplings, as the small exclamation marks are useful when tracking down exact locations. With this guide, players should have all they need to complete the sapling planting quest, earn the 20K XP, and be well on their way to earning Chapter 3,Season 2’s high-level cosmetics.
