Yesterday, as I was installing a reflex sight onto an M4, I spotted some weird local on the monitor, he seemed to be praying. He painted different signs on the wall and on the floor, then walked into the middle of the circle these symbols formed, and started placing weapons there. To be honest, it didn’t even look strange, it made perfect sense to me. It’s natural for people to offer the most valuable things they have to their gods, and these days it’s weapons. Those are cultists, you might’ve already encountered them. I have enough power capacity for now. Look for some more graphics cards and coolers. And thanks for the package, by the way.

Ah, you’ve returned. I’ll try to assemble them till nightfall, thanks. I know, it’s really hard to find such electronics during these hard times, but I didn’t doubt you.
Semiconductor Crisis Task Guide
Collect 1 Graphics card and 8 CPU fans with found-in-raid status, then hand them to Mechanic. Reach Mechanic loyalty level 3 to receive the task.
Check PC blocks and electronics loot while working through raids. Graphics cards can also turn up in electronics stores, bags and caches. If you craft an item in the Hideout, check its current recipe and ensure the completed item qualifies for the handover.
You do not need the 3 GPUs described in the old Farming – Part 4 walkthrough. Work from the 1 Graphics card and 8 CPU fans in the checklist above instead.
Graphics card locations and crafting
Graphics cards can appear in PC blocks, Sport bags, buried barrel caches and ground caches. For loose electronics, these areas give you places to search rather than guaranteed spawns.
- Customs Search beneath the PC desk in the Green Screen room, the Gas Station shelves and unlocked room, the first-floor sofa in 3-story dorms, and the second room in Big Red.
- Interchange Search Texho, Techlight, Rasmussen and German, the Idea office, and the tech shelf at the back of Power Station.
- Shoreline Search East wing rooms 222 and 328, West wing rooms 216 and 301, East wing office 107, the Admin Building’s second-floor desks, and the weather station’s second floor near the server bay. Bring the required room keys.
- Factory Check the pumping station, the lower blue container outside Gate 3, the yellow carts by the pit and the office hallway shelf.
- Woods Check the Marked Circle, the area beside the dead Scav at Dead Man’s Place and the floors of Village buildings.
- Reserve Search server racks, the shelves in RB-AK on Black Bishop’s second floor, the desk in Black Knight’s third room on the left from its main entrance, and RB-VO. Locked rooms require their keys.
- The Lab Check the white boxes beside a shelf to the right of the orange dome and the last white table before the stairs to the management office.
A Graphics card can also be crafted at Intelligence Center level 3. Keep the card’s found-in-raid status intact for the handover. Search PC blocks for the 8 CPU fans while collecting the card; fans can also appear in Sport bags and ground or buried barrel caches.
