Quick Links
InPacific Drive, you are tasked to go out and explore new roads, leaving you to find new obstacles and bumps in the road for your car. This will lead you to acquire new dents and scratches all over your car that will need to be fixed. The only way to do that is to make a whole new part or to repair that part. If you don’t want to start from scratch, then you will need chemicals.
Chemicals aren’t only for repairing either; if you have been driving through the Pacific Northwest and finding yourself running low on your battery’s charge, then look no further, as chemicals will also help solve some of your capacity issues!
Where To Find Chemicals
Chemicals are one of the crafting ingredients you will need very often, and you will need a lot of them. Unfortunately, Chemicals are one of the few items in Pacific Drive thathas to be found naturally and cannot be acquired by scrapping parts.
The best place to find chemicals is inside anyARDA facility, whether it be anARDA Toweror anARDA Trailer. ARDA Facilities can be found by looking forsmall satellite icons affixed to structures on the map.
Inside ARDA facilities, there is a chance for ahazardous materials metal storage cabinetto spawn. Inside these cabinets is where you will find chemicals.
Chemicals willappear as an amber glass bottle with a warning label on it, rather than how its icon looks - an Erlenmeyer (conical) flask with liquid inside of it.
Hazardous material cabinets and, subsequently, the chemicals inside of them are not guaranteed to spawn in every ARDA facility, so check them whenever they spawn.
