Pickaxe

Pickaxe is a findable item that can be obtained randomly by breaking Mine Crates. It also has several fixed spawn locations in Manufacturing West, making that area the most reliable place to search if you are trying to secure one early.

Known locations include:

• Near the portal in the small cave close to Shipping
• In the mines, near the green pipe where one Optic Lens is required
• In the mines, in the area with a parked truck and some containers
• In the mines, behind one of the buildings, accessible through vents
• Back in the tutorial area, reached from a portal in the mines area near the green pipe and Optic Lens gate

Because several of its placements are tucked behind mine access routes and portal connections, it is worth checking every branch of the mines carefully rather than relying only on crate drops.
