Finding Mystical Crates can be an utter pain, especially when they’re well hidden. Here’s how to find all the crates in the Junkyard in Once Human.
How To Find All the Crates in the Junkyard
So, the Junkyard has one of the more hidden Mystical Crates in Once Human, but there’s also both a weapon and a gear crate to find. I’ll be tackling them in the order I believe you’ll come across them, which is from the Eastern road.
How To Find the Weapon Crate
To find the weapon crate, you’ll need to go in through the south or east entrance, where you’ll find a large square cordoned off by high walls and lots of enemies. In the middle of this square will be a rectangular building, which will have an Elite Rosetta Mechanic guarding it.

The Junkyard weapon crate is in the room behind him, which he’s naturally guarding. I highly recommend taking out all the soldiers on the walls and, honestly, as many grunts as possible before you tackle him, as he’s fairly tanky.

I’ve marked the other Elite on the map, in the circle with an “E.” He’s a standard Bruiser, similar to what you likely encountered in the Unfinished Expedition quest on Wild Dog Isle. But he’s also out of the way, so pretty easy to miss.
How To Find the Gear and Mystical Crate
The gear and Mystical Crate are in the same building, so I’ve slapped them together. Head towards where the Carnival of Doom quest is or to the train station with the numbers 16 and 17 marked on the brick side. The Mystical Crate is in the red train car, and the gear crate is beneath the shoes of the soldiers.

Unfortunately, you can’t grab the gear crate without killing the non-hostile Rosetta soldiers. But once you’ve done whatever you’ve chosen to do, head inside the brown train car beside them and climb up the ramp.

Follow the railing and drop into the red train cart to find the Mystical Crate! Easy.
