Where do you find the Swamp Skeleton Dead Drop?

The Swamp Skeleton Dead Drop is located in the lower left corner of the Bright Sands map. Look for the giant skeleton there and head towards it once you land on Fortuna III. You can’t miss this skeleton. It’s colossal and houses several dilapidated hospital buildings underneath, as well as more than a few hostile creatures.

Head east from the hospital building with the blue beds. You can follow your direction using your compass at the top of the screen. The Swamp Skeleton Dead Drop is in a clump of tree roots sticking out of the water.

It’s a good place where you’re largely protected from enemies, but keep an eye out because there are plenty that will attack you if you don’t catch them early. You can easily kill small enemies that charge at you, but large enemies require a lot more work. You better drop the item in Dead Drop, run away for a bit, and kill anything attacking you from afar. Just make sure you’re using a decent weapon or else you’ll end up on the menu.

How to use the Swamp Skeleton Dead Drop

Using the Swamp Skeleton Dead Drop is easy. All you have to do is go there, interact with it, and drag the item you need to drop there. This will sometimes complete a quest given to you, but you can also take items from the Dead Drop. You would only do this if you are not on a mission and can safely remove the items from the crate without risking your life. These boxes appear in set positions so everyone knows where they are. You need to keep an eye out whenever you use one, just in case someone is lurking around the corner.
