Where to find a cooking pot

There's one cooking pot located on the eastern side of the island inside a bunker next to a lake. You'll need the guest keycard to get inside, which you can obtain from a cave near the second cooking pot. It's full of mutants and cannibals though, so come prepared.

The easiest location is the western cooking pot, which is found in an abandoned camp. It's located right in the middle of the camp, which you can find by searching to the east of two vertical rivers to the left of the large snowy mountain in the centre of the map.

Once you find a cooking pot you'll need to fill it with water and place it on a fire to get it ready for cooking!
