The progression system in Once Human is pretty complex, and part of it involves exploring the map and looting specific crates scattered throughout the different points of interest. In this guide, we will be showing you all of the crates that you need to loot in order to complete the objectives in the Sutherland Family Orchard, which is one of the very first places you’ll be going to as a new player.
Sutherland Family Orchard All Mystical, Weapon & Gear Crates Location
Before we begin, it should be noted that the rift anchor for this zone, and every other point of interest, is marked in the map, making them impossible to miss.
For this area in particular, there is a table just to the northeast of the rift anchor that has the Borscht Deluxe recipe on top of it. Feel free to pick it up if you are your hive’s cook, but it isn’t necessary for map completion.
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!
ADDITIONAL NOTE: In order to complete the map objectives, you must loot “Gear” or “Weapon” crates. Storage crates do not count, and some of these might even be deviants in disguise, so stay vigilant!
Sutherland Family Orchard Crate #1 – Gear
Enter the long building directly to the north of the rift anchor. Be warned, there is a deviant posing as a storage crate in the middle of the first floor. If you approach it, walk back before it bursts out to avoid damage.
Once you’re done looting the first floor, make your way up to the second floor and head straight for the last room at the end of the hallway. The first gear crate of the area will be waiting for you in there.
Sutherland Family Orchard Crates #2 & #3 – Mystical & Weapon
For the other two crates, there are actually multiple paths to it, some of which you’ve probably passed by depending on where you entered this zone from.
Basically, search for one of the staircases leading down into an ominously dark underground area. There are at least three to four of these entrances, but all of them lead to the same place.
Make sure to press N to activate your flashlight, as you will not be able to see anything down there otherwise. Here is one such staircase:
Just keep followingthe corridors down and avoid all of the staircases leading up, as these will just lead you back to one of the other entrances in the surface.
Eventually, you will stumble into a room that contains both a weapon crate and the Mystical Crate of this zone. Simply loot them both and you should be done with all of the objectives here!
Just a side note, but this is also how I discovered that the weapon crates can respawn, as I checked this spot as I was writing this even after having looted the Mystical Crate already (that one does not respawn).
Bonus Tip – Fighting the Glutton
While you are in the Sutherland Family Orchard, you might see a giant enemy roaming in the central part of this zone. This is called a Glutton, and this will likely be the first time many of you will encounter this elite enemy.
I recommend killing this thing for bonus loot, even though it isn’t required for this area’s objectives (it will be in other zones). Here are a few tips on how to deal with it:
- Shoot the weak spots – The glowing bulbs all around its limbs, particularly in the legs, are its weak points. Shoot them until they pop, and the Glutton should fall to its knees once all have been destroyed.
- Keep your distance – The Glutton can spit multiple projectiles that move slowly, but they will absolutely hurt if you’re roughly at the same level as it. Be ready to dodge at all times.
Once you have it on its knees, you’re safe to approach it and start whacking its head with your melee weapon or just keep unloading your ammo if that’s faster. It should die before it can get a chance to get back up.
And that is everything you need to know in order to complete the exploration objectives of this zone. While you’re here, check out our complete beginner’s guide to Once Human as well, since it contains some useful advice that will help you up until the mid game stages!
