Many of these missions involve delivering items to specific yellow crates dotted about the map, known as Dead Drop containers.

To use a dead drop location to complete a mission, simply open the yellow crate, place the items you wish to deposit in the container’s inventory, then click the “Deposit” button. That’s the easy part. The hard part is finding these well-hidden dead drop containers in the first place.

Below we’ll show you how to find every single dead drop container on both the maps in The Cycle: Frontier. We’ve put together annotated maps for both Bright Sands and Crescent Falls, and we also explain where to go to find each dead drop.
