The First Wave Cache is a loot container that never appears in an ordinary round. It turns up only while a map condition is running. Hurricane, the difficulty 5 of 5 condition, brings 87 spots across three maps: Dam Battlegrounds has 47, The Blue Gate 24 and Buried City 16. Certain other map conditions bring 32 spots, all of them on Spaceport.
Not every spot holds a cache. The filled ones are settled when the round starts, and on Dam Battlegrounds a round fills 25 to 30 of the 47. There, check Water Towers (3) and the Controlled Access Zone (3) before moving on to the Scrap Yard (2). On The Blue Gate, Ridgeline has 3, with Barren Clearing and Adorned Wreckage on 2 each. In Buried City, the Warehouse and Church Ruins have 2 each. On Spaceport, start at Fuel Processing (3), then try Vehicle Maintenance and Alberi Hills (2 each).
