In The Price Goes Up, speak with Diode at Slag Heap, then leave through the western door. Climb the scaffolding and toppled crane, take the route right of the first tunnel entrance, and follow the tunnels to the crane at the top. Nestor’s stash is on the crane floor near its far end.

Spoilers: This guide reveals the stash’s location and contents.

Route to Nestor’s stash

  1. Start at Slag Heap. After the key-card sequence in The Price Goes Up, speak with Diode. He explains that the card was his spare and had been given to Nestor, then points you toward the stash. The mission follows Answers Come at a Price. GameRant’s walkthrough and Gamer Guides’ quest guide describe this sequence.
  2. Leave through Slag Heap’s western door. Climb the scaffolding on the right, jump onto the toppled crane, and continue climbing.
  3. Find the tunnel route. At the top, head north to the tunnel entrance, but take the path to its right. Go through the ruined bus and follow the path left into the next tunnel. A second guide, GamerPillar’s route, also directs players past the bus and into the cave.
  4. Cross the tunnel. Follow the path through the poison-anomaly area. At the end, climb the concrete post, turn right, and climb onto the next platform. Crouch around the corner to the left. At the dead end, stand and jump onto the small metal platform above, then climb the ladder out. A supply bag is in a bus to the left before the ladder.
  5. Reach the stash. After climbing out, head toward the person at the edge of the crane to trigger a scene. Then move closer to the crane’s end and search the floor for the stash.

What’s in the stash?

The bag contains supplies, a modified shotgun, and a flash drive needed for the objective. Take the flash drive to progress The Price Goes Up.

If you lose the route

Open the PDA quest log and map to check the active objective and its marker. The official PDA support guide explains that the map displays quest markers and caches, and that you can select the next quest in the PDA log. If a patch or a different quest state changes the marker or route, use the current objective marker as your guide. The walkthroughs cited here do not specify the game version they cover.
