Wasteland Hints

What can I give the junkmaster so he'll talk to me?

  • 1 of 11: Have you climbed the sand dunes in Needles outside the mushroom church?
  • 2 of 11: Make sure you disbane one character and actively use "climb".  Otherwise you'll be there forever.
  • 3 of 11: Redhawk, the son of the chief, has gone missing from Savage village.  If you find him, the junkmaster is sure to talk to you.
  • 4 of 11: Alternatively, you could give junkmaster an interesting item.
  • 5 of 11: The junkmaster's a scavenger.  He'd be very interested in any unique items.
  • 6 of 11: The most unique of all items in Wastelands is pre-war items.
  • 7 of 11: Who'd have a collection of pre-war items?
  • 8 of 11: Go to the Guardian Citadel.  They have a section for all of their items of particular interest.
  • 9 of 11: There's a museum in the outer sanctum.
  • 10 of 11: Use picklock on the cases.  You'll find one item of particular interest...
  • 11 of 11: Give the Grazer Bat Fetish to the Junkmaster.  He'll tell you where Cochise is.
