Tracking down every collectible in Hope County can be a daunting task, but finding the 10 vinyl crates scattered throughout the Whitetail Mountains provides one of the most rewarding side quests in Far Cry 5. Completing the "Turn the Tables" mission for Wheaty at the Wolf's Den not only grants experience and cash, but it also improves the music selection on Whitetail Radio as you drive through Cult territory. Below is a breakdown of key locations and practical tips to help you locate all 10 vinyl crates efficiently.
Starting the Turn the Tables Quest
Before you can begin hunting down the vinyl crates, you must first complete Wheaty's initial quest titled "Gearing Up" at the Wolf's Den. Once unlocked, speaking with Wheaty activates the "Turn the Tables" questline, which tasks you with retrieving missing music records from ten specific spots in Jacob's region. If you prefer an in-game tracking option, you can also purchase a collectible map from any general shop vendor for $1,200.
Northern Cabins and Mountain Shelters
Several crates are hidden inside scenic mountain cabins and hunting shelters across the region. For instance, heading south down the cliff from the Wolf's Den brings you to Osprey Cabin, where a crate rests on a coffee table in the living room. Further west, Dansky Cabin holds another crate right outside on the front porch near the entrance. Meanwhile, Hunter's Pass Shelter near Snowshoe Lake houses a crate sitting on a table inside the main structure.
Park Entrances and Outposts
You can also discover vinyl crates tucked away near major park checkpoints and supply stations. The North Park Entrance features a crate inside a side building along the main road. Over at the South Park Entrance near Widow's Creek, another crate sits inside the office across from the fast travel point. Checking these transit points carefully ensures you do not miss collectible items while clearing cult presences.
Industrial Sites and Campsites
The remaining vinyl crates are situated near industrial structures and scattered wilderness camps. At Linero Building Supplies, navigate to the office trailer at the back of the construction zone to find a crate on a desk. Breakthrough Camp holds a crate inside the Gookooko'oo Lodge building near a radio station setup. Additionally, you can grab crates at the MCA Mobile Lab near the outdoor tent and at The Grill Streak under the gray outdoor pavilion.
