How to unlock the Leaving No Rock Unturned achievement in Just Cause 2 - Definitive Guide
The resource boxes flash white and you should notice them from afar! In addition they have a tracker beacon and the small icon on the top left hand side of your minimap will show you the signal strength. Once the signal meter is full you will be shown the exact location by a white arrow.
Resource items are tied to location completion and you will have to pick them up in order to complete locations. But boxes can also be found outside locations. These have no effect on location completion percentage.
There are 2700 in total. 450 Cash boxes, 900 Vehicle Parts, 950 Weapon Parts and 400 Armor Parts!
There is no complete map as of today and I do not recommend using one. Finding these will come naturally as you progress through the game. keep to the instructions above if you should happen to have trouble finding items!
Every location has a number of resource items to be collected, such as Weapon Upgrade crates, Armor Upgrade crates, Vehicle Upgrade crates, Money crates.
While you cannot check the number per location, you can track them down easily by using the Wi-Fi like symbol on the upper left of your mini-map. It functions automatically and the amount of bars represent how close you are to a resource crate. Once you're very close it starts flashing and a grey arrow on the screen points you to the actual location.
You should be able to get a fair share of these by just playing through the game. Visit new locations on your map and track down crates until the achievement unlocks.
Note: I personally made it a habit of getting 100% in every small settlement I passed through, as they usually consist of 3-5 crates and 1 military object to destroy. This way, you will also work towards the 'Freeroamer 1-2' Achievements

This trophy follows on from the Finders Keepers trophy, except instead of collecting 100 resource items you need to collect 1000. The resource items are hidden all over Panau, they can be found in towns, villages, enemy bases, faction strongholds/HQs & other random areas. 1000 items doesn't seem too much of a challenge seeing as there are 2700 items to be found altogether.
There are four different types of resource items, read below for more info.
1. 400 Armour Upgrade Parts – To know if the box contains an armour part, its icon will look like a shield with a health cross in the middle. An added bonus with the armour parts is that after you collect 5 your health will be upgraded.
2. 950 Weapon Upgrade Parts – The icon here looks like a spanner & a gun. Use these parts to upgrade the weapons through the black market.
3. 900 Vehicle Parts – This icon is a spanner & what looks like a wheel. Use these parts to upgrade the vehicles through the black market.
4. 450 Cash Stash – The box icon will show a dollar sign if it is a cash stash. Cash stashes come in varied amounts & you can use the money for whatever you like.
There are a couple of ways to help find these stashes:
Shine – If you are high up or on the ground look for a little shine/flash. This will usually signal an item.
Radar – In the top left of your screen near your health bar there is a small radar/signal bar. As you move closer towards an item one of the small signal bars will move up by one. When it is full it will flash, meaning you are right next to an item and this is usually confirmed by a small grey pointer coming up on screen facing in the direction of the item.
There are four types of resources:
1. Weapon parts (to improve guns on the Black Market)
2. Vehicle parts (to improve equipment on the Black Market)
3. Armor (5 pieces of maximum health improvement)
4. Money
