Stash next to the hunter's hut

The hut is located in the forest in the eastern part of the map, and you can turn it into a Break Room after activating the generator.

1. You must discover a 3-digit code for the Cult Stash.

1. There are 3 bolts next to number 7 - this is the third part of the code.
