The Target Practice treasure hunt in Far Cry New Dawn has you solving a small puzzle to get to the cache. As the name suggests the puzzle requires you to shoot several targets, but it can be tricky to figure out just how to do so. We’ll tell you how to enter the cave in the Target Practice treasure hunt in Far Cry New Dawn and how to shoot the targets to open the door to the treasure.
How to find the machine in the Target Practice treasure hunt in Far Cry New Dawn
When you arrive at the junkyard, you can find a note on the hood of a rusty truck that will start the hunt. It’s a note from a Highwayman that reads:
From all the gears and shit scattered around here, it looks like someone was trying to build some kinda machine.
Whatever it is, I’m guessing it’s gonna be fucking huge. Check out the area and report back when you find it. Maybe it’s something we can use.
To find the machine, you’ll want to jump onto the partially buried house. Here you’ll see a zip line that you can take that leads to a hole in the ground. Zip down the line and jump down in the hole.
Near the bottom of the drop-off, you’ll want to head up the flight of wooden steps. You’ll find yourself in a chamber that contains a large machine with spinning gears. Here you’ll have to solve a puzzle to open the door to the treasure.
How to shoot the targets in the Target Practice Treasure hunt in Far Cry New Dawn
On the right side of the door you’ll find a note on a crate that tells how to release the lock:
Nadine’s Journal
Seventeen years of this miserable Collapse.
Seventeen years all by myself, thinking of revenge.
This machine started off as a bunker gate. Then I made it a target gallery. Then I made it both.
I imagined that the targets were all the people who made fun of me for my comic book collection.
Pull the lever, hit all the targets on each side, and presto: instant therapy and access to the bunker.
Like the note says, you have to pull the lever to start the puzzle. You’ll have to shoot four targets on the left side of the door and then four more on the right side of the entrance to open the lock. You must start on the left side, and you can find the targets in the following location:
Behind the upper right part of the spinning wheel.
Spinning below the large gear behind the bars in the upper right part of the wall.
The last two will appear sliding behind the junction box at the lower part of the wall.
After you hit the last target on the left, a giant ball will fall into the trash can by the door and activate the mechanism on the right side of the room.
All four targets on the right side of the room just pop up and down behind the metal barrier at the bottom. Pick all four of them off, and a ball will fall into the trashcan on the right. The lock to the treasure cache will then be released.
Far Cry New Dawn Target Practice treasure hunt rewards
You’ll get the usual smattering of items for completing the Target Practice treasure hunt in Far Cry New Dawn. You’ll also get a chance to read about Nadine’s fate:
Nadine’s Journal
Before the Collapse, Eden’s Gate destroyed our homes and turned everything to shit. Now the Highwaymen are here doing the exact same thing.
I can’t live through that again. I have to leave all this behind.
I’ve got seventeen years of target practice. I’m going to pack up and leave, and search the country for any comic books that are left. I’ll have the world’s best—and only—collection.
That’s something worth seeing.
Of note, you’ll get 45 Far Cry Credits, 3 perk magazines, and the usual cache of Titanium in the safe. Also, make sure to check near the microwave for an audio log.
You can also now unlock the door at the rear of the bunker for a shortcut back to the surface.

Far Cry Franchise Tour
Whether it's Crytek or Ubisoft at the helm, the Far Cry franchise has gone places. Sometimes dubbed murder tourism, these open-world first-person shooters challenge you to liberate glorious locales. Yes, there is plenty of shooty bang bang, but that's not the only reason to sample every game in this illustrious series. -
Far Cry
The game that started it all, the original Far Cry has more in common with Crytek's future work on Crysis than the rest of the series. The tropical island setting was a breath of fresh air at the time, and PC players worldwide were sticker shocked by the system requirements. -
Far Cry Instincts
Perhaps because of Far Cry's place as a huge test for gaming PCs, Ubisoft got its first crack at the franchise with Far Cry Instincts. A console friendly edition of the series on Xbox, this continuation of Jack Carver's story got an Xbox 360 follow-up of its own with Instincts: Evolution. -
Far Cry Paradise Lost
Instincts also got an arcade port of sorts with Paradise Lost. This was an on-rails shooter produced by Global VR in the style of its Aliens cabinet. At this point, it looked like old Jack was a lock as franchise hero, but then Far Cry 2 shook everything up. -
Far Cry 2
Shifting locales from the tropics to the Sahara, Far Cry 2 also (allegedly) put the series star into the villain's role. Definitely a transitional game, it has some fire tech that's still impressive to this day, making it a stalwart favorite in some gaming circles. -
Far Cry 3
Vaas' famous speech about insanity isn't just the signature moment in a memorable Far Cry, it also seems to be the creed that the franchise would carry going forward. Every game is a new beginning, pulling out the rug from under players. For some, this is where the franchise truly begins. -
Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon
The best spin-off that Far Cry has ever seen, Blood Dragon provides the satisfying open-world combat loop in a tight and flashy package. Layered with an '80s/'90s VHS aesthetic years before it oversaturated the market, its dedication to its style and the sense of humor remain standouts within the series. -
Trials of the Blood Dragon
Only tangentially related to Far Cry, this follow-up to Blood Dragon is a complete 180-degree in the opposite direction. What once was cool feels forced, as does the marriage of the Blood Dragon story to Ubisoft's BMX series. For those still waiting for a full-fledged Blood Dragon sequel, this one hurt. -
Far Cry 4
Ajay just wanted to bury his mother's ashes. For some players, that's just what he gets to do. For others, he discovers his heritage and his place amongst a band of freedom fighters looking to overthrow a dictator's regime. While similar to 3, Far Cry 4 streamlined a lot, making it easy to return to. -
Far Cry Primal
Far Cry's mission to go even more out there with each passing game may have hit its peak with Primal. A full-scale spin-off, it's still an admirable effort. After all, few games of this size would risk having a full cast of cavemen speaking grunts for hours and hours. -
Far Cry 5
Coming out early in 2018's packed release calendar, Far Cry 5's theme was always going to be contentious. While the message may have been muddled in this latest entry, the slick gameplay changes and impressive visuals sure do inspire excitement in its direct follow-up, Far Cry New Dawn.
