The Long Dark: bunkers

Open and hidden beneath the snow, iron manholes hide a great unknown behind them. What is behind them? Nothing or the belongings of an extinct world. Hmm... I will reveal their location to you. Perhaps you'll find something of interest in them. Good luck, my friend.

Authors of the Guide.

Dee: Guide creator and translator (Russian to English).
VoldParoks: Photographed bunker locations, mapped routes, edited and wrote content, designed guide visuals, and authored the guide description.

Bunker Explanations.

Survival supplies:

These are bunkers that are located on the island. They have fixed locations, but their contents will always be different. There are a total of 9 bunkers on the island and only 3 of them will be full. Even these three bunkers have views.
Hunting: Has a workbench and everything you need to hunt.
Food: Has a large amount of food. Also a recipe for pie.
Survivalist: A little bit of everything. Sort of even has a gold nugget in it.
On the “Interloper” difficulty". All the bunkers will be empty, and only one of them will have the recipe in it.

The bunker is on a “Signal Void” mission:

These bunkers also have fixed locations. But without the DLC “Tales from the Far Territory” you will not have the bunkers.
After picking up the “Handheld Shortwave Radio” you will start a mission where you will need to fix the transmitters.
To fix one transmitter you need: 1 battery, 2 wires, 3 fuses and 5 scrap metal.
After fixing them you will have access to a bunker, which you will need to find in the specified location. According to the mission, the bunker can only be found in Aurora. (Even if you find it without the radio, you simply won't be able to open it).
After finding all 3 bunkers you will be able to access 1 more bunker (this bunker will not appear if you do not explore the other 3). There is also a bug with it, when the signal of its location during the Northern Lights is not searched for. For this, you will need to leave the location to another location and return.
The reward in the Omega Bunker will be the “Security Chief's Rifle Holster”, which reduces the weight of your rifle by two times.
On the difficulty “Interloper” All bunkers will have very few resources

Empty stock for survival:

This bunker is located on the location “Pleasant Valley” and is part of it. It will always be empty, regardless of the game difficulty.

Survival supplies.

Hushed River Valley:

After exiting the cave system, go straight ahead and to the right.
Go down the path and cross over a fallen tree. Reach the rope and climb up it.
After climbing up, you will have to go straight until you turn right. Along the way you will encounter bushes, which you will need to cut down in order to go further (or press against the left mountain in a certain place and go over them). At the end of the path you will need to pass through a fallen tree.

Mountain Town:

Go to the bridge “Spruce Falls Bridge” and pass through it. Further go along the road until you take the turn on the right. Turn around and go up to the top.
Enter the cave system and go through it to the end.

Forlorn Muskeg:

Go up to the hill that is a little to the left of “Old Spence Family Homestead” and climb it. You can also climb the hill on the Bunkhouses side.

Mystery Lake:

You need to get to the cable. You can reach it either from the side of the “Camp Office”.
It can also be reached from the side of "Cottages by the Lake (West)".
Go up and go to the right, on the hill behind the stone.

Bleak Inlet:

Exit from the “Mystery Lake” side, descend and walk straight ahead to the fallen tree in the form of an arch. After you pass through the fallen tree, turn left behind a rock and go up the hill to the end. You will not be able to climb from the side of the “Forlorn Muskeg”. There is no rope on the rock.

Pleasant Valley:

Path to the bunker: You have two paths to the bunker. In the first way you need to reach the log bridge and follow the path up the hill. As you climb up, you will need to turn right. Climbing to the top. There will be a rock on the right. Go right along the rock.
The second path is even easier. After you pass the arch in the form of a broken tree, you will need to press yourself against the rock and go all the way to the left.

Timberwolf Mountain:

The way to the bunker: from the “Mountaineer's Hut” stand with your back to it, turn right and go straight ahead until you reach the wing of the airplane. Pass it and turn left.
There, walk across the fallen tree over the abyss, and after passing the stones to your left, climb up the left elevation. If you’re coming through the 'Ashen Canyon' from the swamps, you’ll need to ascend the gorge to reach the Wing. If you’re coming through the cave from the 'Deer Meadow', you’ll have to descend via the rope to the lower level.

Blackrock:

The way to the bunker: The path is easy. After all, you always need to follow the snowy road to the right to the destroyed “Mule Bridge”.

Ash Canyon:

The only optimal way to get to the bunker is through the cave, which is located in the “Reindeer Glade”. If you decide to go through the swamp, you will have to make a huge detour. And so, after leaving the cave, go straight to the gorge, turn left and go to the hill to the fallen tree above the gorge. Pass it and go clear to the right. You need to reach the stone slope above the gorge. If you go down from the stone descent, you will not be able to climb back up. Once down, go straight ahead and pass through the fallen tree again. After the fallen tree, keep going to the right.

The bunker is on a “Signal Void ” mission.

"Alpha" Bunker:

Standing with your back to the tunnel that leads to the “Mysterious Lake”, turn to the left and there, on the hill where the radio tower stands, is the transmitter you need. Near the radio tower can be certain resources to fix the transmitter.
It will be located at the location “Bleak Inlet”. Next, use the receiver during the northern lights to go to the bunker.

"Beta" Bunker:

It will be located on Radio Tower Hill. There may be some resources inside the radio control unit to fix the transmitter.
It will be located at the same location as the transmitter. Go down from the radio control unit to the road and then use the receiver during the northern lights to go to the bunker.

"Gamma" Bunker:

t will be located near the radio tower in "Mountain Town". There will be no resources to fix the transmitter. All of them will have to be found in Mountain Town itself.
It will be located at the location “Hushed River Valley”. Go through the system of caves on the location and further with the help of the receiver during the aurora go to the bunker.
Photographs of the bunker before and after discovery.

"Omega" Bunker:

It will be located near the control tower, where you picked up the portable shortwave receiver. It will have all the resources you need to fix it.
There will be no entrance to the bunker until all three bunkers have been explored. Only then the entrance to the bunker will appear.

@Прокурор из-за контурных карт🤦‍♂️ Сейчас делаем более детальное руководство на русском языке, но уже со своими картами

Прокурор 21 Dec, 2023 @ 9:22am

Комрад, почему-то это руководство на русском недоступно в стиме, а так же снесли карты с бункерами из группы в вк. Пришлось через сохраненную страницу в гугле искать

Dee [author] 20 Oct, 2023 @ 5:47am

@Mentat76 Now there is no bunker in these locations
