Once Human works on a rather unusual seasonal system that softlocks players behind a time gate, and now that some servers have progressed to the second phase “Tame the Staroid”, more areas are now accessible to players in them. The Blackfell Fallen Zone is among these areas, as it is in the newly opened Red Sands region, so here are all of the crates in it!
Blackfell Fallen Zone All Mystical, Weapon, & Gear Crates Location
Blackfell Fallen Zone is tucked in at the center of Red Sands, which you can only access once phase 2 has started in your server. If you get attacked by butterflies and have Mitsuko screaming into your ears every 2 seconds while trying to go here, that means you’re still locked out for the time being.
In this guide, we will be covering all of the significant loot crates that you can find in this area. The number of crates far exceed the requirement for the exploration objectives, but it’s nice to loot them for mods anyway.
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!
Below is a preview of the Blackfell Fallen Zone map indicating the location of every single crate, as well as the rift anchor (grey icon). We’ll be using this as a general reference before going into more detail for each entry.
Weapon Crate #1 + Elite Enemy
The first weapon crate in this area can be found in the northwesternmost house from the rift anchor. Along the way, you will also encounter an elite enemy, specifically an Ede, which you are probably already familiar with as you fight one in Highbanks.
Go ahead and kill it by shooting the glowing balloon, which changes after a few seconds when you pop the previous weak spot. This counts towards the exploration objectives here, so you may as well engage.
Gear Crate #1
Directly south of the rift anchor is a basketball court where you can find a gear crate out in the open. Just follow the road down and loot it before proceeding to the next one. Kill some normal enemies along the way for the objectives if you feel like it.
Weapon Crate #2
Next, from the previous crate, proceed to the town hall directly to the west of your current position. Enter the first room to the left and turn to the next entryway to the right and you’ll find the next weapon crate sitting on top of a table.
Gear Crate #2
From the town hall, go outside and make your way to the supermarket directly to the northwest. There should be a gear crate spawn smack dab in the middle of it. Nice and easy.
Weapon Crate #3 + Mystical Crate
For the next one, you will be heading to the parking garage to the southwest of the previous location. Enter the building and keep running through it until you see a makeshift living space, where a weapon crate will be waiting for you.
For the Mystical crate, head to the area right above the parking garage, which can be reached through varying means. One way is to head back outside and run to the southernmost building, where there is a staircase leading up.
Once you’re above the parking garage, you should be able to spot the Mystical crate sitting out in the open. It’s guarded by an elite enemy known as a Weather Forecast, which should be relatively easy to kill.
Gear Crate #3
Next, from the previous crate, head to the hospital directly to the northwest. Rather than entering the building, go up the staircase on the side of the building. The next gear crate can be found on the roof.
Weapon Crate #4
Next up, the last weapon crate of this zone can be found in the gas station directly to the southwest of the hospital. Simply enter through the front door and check behind the counter, where the crate will be waiting for you to loot it.
Gear Crate #4
Before getting the last one in the town itself, head up north to the isolated farm area on the hill. Inside the barn, right behind the red pickup truck, you will find yet another gear crate ripe for looting.
It is highly recommended to summon your vehicle to get here, unless you really like walking. Hopefully you’re already rocking an all-terrain car by now, cause if you’re still using the motorcycle, well, you do you man.
Gear Crate #5
Finally, head back down to the town and go to the diner at the western edge of the area. In the room behind the counter, you’ll find the last gear crate waiting there. It’s the exact same building layout as the other diners in the game, so this will probably look very familiar to you.
And those are all of the significant crates you can find in this zone, so get out there and get those weapon or armor mods!
