Getting loot from chests or crates in video games is always fun since it gives you that sweet dopamine hit when you open them. Sometimes though with how huge some game maps are, you might miss a chest or two and we can’t have that! We’ll want to get as much loot as we can after all.
In Once Human, when you get into a new area you’re given a list of notable loot crates that you can get. It doesn’t list all of the loot though so that’s why you’ll want to know where to look for them. Some of these areas can be complex or huge to explore.
In this guide, we’ll show you all of the Mystical & Gear crate locations around Alpha Institute. We’ll go through where you can find them and what you can expect to get. Bring your best weapons because this is a high-level area!
Alpha Institute All Mystical, Weapon & Gear Crates Location
The Alpha Institute in Once Human is one of the high-level areas in the game, but luckily it’s an easy place to traverse. Not only that, but 3 of the main loot crates in the area are in the same place! All you need to know is where to find them.
SIDE NOTE: We have a collective and complete guide for all Weapon, Gear & Mystical crates in all the locations of Once Human, make sure to check it out!
Here are all of the general areas where you can find all the loot crates in Alpha Institute. If you want to exact locations of these crates, then keep reading below!
Rift Anchor
For the first item on the list, we have the easiest thing to spot, and it’s the Rift Anchor. It’s in the northern parts of the area on top of a Helicopter landing pad as shown below. Be careful though since it’s usually guarded by enemies!
Elite Enemy
Once you’re finished with the Rift Anchor, go to the south and head over to the large building in the center of the Institute. Go through the entrance and keep an eye out for enemies.
That’s because inside you can find one of the Elite enemies in this area. Fighting this one in close quarters can be tricky, so watch out!
Weapon Crate #1
After you defeat the Elite enemy, go outside the large building and in front of the entrance is a stack of crates. On top of those crates is a Weapon Crate that you can loot!
These crates will often give you a weapon as well as some ammunition and materials depending on your luck. Make sure to get this one since it gives a ton of ammo!
Mystical Crate, Gear Crate #1, and Weapon Crate #2
The next 3 crates on this list are in one area. Go to the southeast of the large building until you find a black car with a gun on top. Behind it is a building with an “02” on top of the entrance. Go inside and look for the glass room.
You’ll find a glass room where there’s a whopping 3 crates inside. You’ll need to interact with the controls next to the door to enter. Inside is a Weapon Crate, a Gear Crate, and a Mystical Crate.
Gear crates can give you pieces of armor as well as upgrades while Mystical Crates often have blueprint fragments!
Gear Crate #2
For the last crate on the list, we’ll need to head southeast of the previous building. You’ll need to take some stairs to go up and towards another large building as shown below. Go inside the large entrance while clearing the enemies.
Inside of that building just in the middle is another Gear Crate! Make sure to clear the enemies inside and outside the building first before you start looting!
Those are all of the loot crates that you can find around the Alpha Institute in Once Human. Now, go out there and try to get all of them! Do you want to loot more areas in the game? Check out our Holt Town All Loot Crates Guide for more details!
