Best Artifacts Guide | Strange location of nuts

THE Weird nuts is located in the Cooling towers region – you can reach this area as soon as you have unlocked the Waste region. From the Slag Heap settlement, head northeast until you reach the Cement Factory area.

Strange location of nuts: Go to Cooling tower region, which is available after leaving the lower area, and reach the glowing cooling tower in the northeast of the map. This is called the Fire Whirlwind Abnormal area.
Outside the whirlwind of fire, look for a fallen pillar this leads to a ladder. Follow this path to the center of the anomaly zone to collect the Weird nuts.

The Fire Whirl grows and shrinks, expanding a burning area around the center of the scaffolding. After climbing the first ladder, sprint across the pipe and jump to a second ladder. Go up quickly then go left, jumping the gap to reach a safety area.

Wait for the fire to expand and then recede, then quickly return through the area you just left. Cross the precarious platforms to reach the opposite side – the opposite side is also a safe area, so stand in front of the central path.

To get the Weird Nut, sprint down the central path and drop down onto the scaffolding below. After going down, look down and to the back right corner. The Weird Nut is located there. Grab it and move away from the Fire Whirl.

Look for the two large circular cooling towers. One of them has a bright spot in the center. This is where you need to go.

Save your game and follow the roads to the northeast. As long as you don’t encounter any enemies, even early players can reach this section of the map. Duty will let you pass their military checkpoint without problem in the Cement factory region if you have not chosen your camp. It’s much later in the story that you’ll choose which faction to side with, so if you’re early in the game, enter the Cooling tower is simple.
