The Mini Pump (uncommon, worth 640) spawns on every map, Pendola Pass included. You need it for building the Research Station (level I) in the Outpost (3 Mini Pumps, with 35 Planks and 5 Battered Paperbacks).
Quick Answer
- Map: every map, Pendola Pass included.
- Best areas: Old Town, Commissary Supermarket, Almatera Station and Researcher Lodgings.
- Search: shelves, household drawers and wardrobes, train-car tables and seats, or counters and tables.
- Loot type: Technological and Electrical.
- Loot zones: check the map at raid start. Areas marked yellow (Loot value: Medium) roll better loot, and red ones (Loot value: High) more and better still.
- You need: 3 to build the Research Station (level I).
What Kind of Places to Search
Most of its spawn spots are loose loot, lying out in the open, so look at surfaces as you move through a building. Containers (cabinets, desks, bags, breachable boxes) can hold it too. Share of all its spawn spots on Pendola Pass:
| Where | Share of spots |
|---|---|
| Shelves and storage racks | 27% |
| Household furniture (drawers, suitcases, wardrobes) | 18% |
| Train cars: tables and seats | 14% |
| Tables, chairs and counters | 12% |
| Parked vehicles | 5% |
| Medical cabinets | 4% |
Where we and other Raiders have picked it up:
How to Get to the Almatera Station Shelf Room
The best single room we've found for Frozen Trail materials is on the second floor of Almatera Station, inside the station building. Walk in through the main entrance, take the escalators up, and the room full of metal shelves is right at the top. Walk every row and look at each shelf.
On a raid where Almatera Station was a red zone (Loot value: High), these shelves alone gave a Radial Press, Laser Level, Insulation Roll, Thermal Shaker, Hand Drill, Steel Cable and Sheet Metal. As a yellow zone (Loot value: Medium) the same room still gave a Radial Press, Hand Drill and Calculator.
Best Areas on Pendola Pass
The places with the most spots where the Mini Pump can spawn:
- Old Town (1097 spots)
- Commissary Supermarket (1017 spots)
- Almatera Station (464 spots) · how to reach the shelf room
- Researcher Lodgings (364 spots)
- Piazza Della Rupe (345 spots)
Open the Pendola Pass map to plan a route through them. Spots are only chances: every spot can roll many other items too.
Tips
- Train cars are quick wins. Parked passenger cars have a table and seats per bay; walk the aisle and look down.
- Head for the loot zones. Each raid marks some areas yellow or red on the map, and they change every raid. Yellow already rolls better loot; red rolls more and better loot still.
- It weighs 0.5. Keep picking them up; three is all a project asks for.
- Any map works. Unlike the other Frozen Trail materials, the Mini Pump isn't tied to Pendola Pass.
