Этот метод, лично у меня, не работает! 22.03.2020
Но пупсы в режиме «Nuclear Winter» (Королевская Битва) засчитываются. Но их найти не составляет проблем!
Господа, внимание! Лагерь банды в Сенеке. Тут на крест у трупиков рейдеров лежит журнал, рядом лежит пупс и тут же стоит силовая броня рейдеров с ядерным блоком. Место для фарма пупсов и журналов лучше не придумать.
Охраняется 3-4 мобами низкого уровня.
Способ от SenzaAllegria мне не помог и я фармил пупсов у локации с чайником. Один в здании заправки заправки под прилавком возле 10мм пистолета, другой же пупс в здании с роботом на втором этаже возле унитаза. В самом чайнике можно найти рандомный журнал.
