Each week in Destiny 2‘s Season of Opulence, Werner 99-40, one of the Tower robots hacked by Cabal Emperor Calus, gives you four bounties that can help you completely upgrade your Chalice of Opulence. Those bounties have the usual requirements–get a certain number of kills, for instance, or complete a certain type of activity. But completing that step of each bounty only earns you a Treasure Map, and it’s up to you to follow it to find the Runes, Imperials, and legendary drops the bounties promise.

While the bounties themselves are often a bit time-consuming to complete, the glowing treasure chests they drop are also usually a bit tough to find. Calus loves to leave them in out-of-the-way places that aren’t always immediately obvious. Luckily, we’ve tracked down each of Calus’s treasures to show you exactly where to go to snag them.

The Salvaged Goods bounty requires you to pick up five Legendary engrams from drops in any activity, which means if you just play the game as normal, you’ll eventually complete this bounty without any extra effort. Clearing it earns you the map, which sends you to Io.

Where To Find The Treasure

On Io, you’re looking for the Spine Burrows area. It looks like the location you want is near Giant’s Scar, but in fact, it’s accessible from Lost Oasis. Pick the Lost Oasis landing zone, then hop on your sparrow and head due east toward the edge of the area (toward where “Spine Burrows” is marked on the map). When you arrive, you should see a cave opening with a stream of blue water leading into it–that’s where you’re headed.

Follow the cave tunnel until you hit a large room filled with Taken. The Spine Burrows name should come up on your screen to let you know you’re in the right place. The chest you want is on the ground on your right; hop across to the small ledge in front of you on your right side and follow the tunnel through.

You’ll exit next to a big tree. Drop down to the ground below and do a 180 and you should find the chest right behind you.

Rod Fergusson of Gears of War developer The Coalition recently spoke about the Gears of War movie, saying it’s set in an “alternate reality” separate from the game series. Some fans worried that this meant it wouldn’t really be a Gears of War movie, but now Fergusson has spoken up to clear up the confusion. He explained to IGN that the movie exists outside of the game canon, so what happens in the movie doesn’t affect the game series and vice versa.

“I’m not going to say what’s going to happen in the story, all I’m saying is by saying it’s ‘alternate reality’ I’m not saying it doesn’t have game characters in it. I’m just saying it’s not in the game canon,” he explained. “Something that happens in the movie doesn’t affect the games. Something that happens in the games doesn’t affect the movie. Either way.”

Fergusson added that this doesn’t mean Marcus Fenix won’t be in the movie. Officially, plot details for the movie are a secret.

Guardians of the Galaxy actor Dave Bautista has said he wants to play Marcus Fenix, and Fergusson agrees that Bautista would be great for the role. However, casting decisions are out of his hands.

“Dave is great. I think Dave would be awesome in that role. Unfortunately I don’t have casting control of what we do with that and whether we have the character that he would play,” he said.

Whatever the case, Fergusson said it’s exciting that someone of Bautista’s caliber is interested in being in the Gears of War movie. Fergusson went on to say that the movie’s producers have told him that actors have reached out seeking roles in the movie. He teased that people you wouldn’t necessarily think about have inquired about roles.

Also in the interview, Fergusson talked more about how the Gears of War movie has to be a good movie first and a Gears movie second. “I think that’s one of the places where video game movies make the mistake; they try to be so true to fan service and so true to what the game is that they lose the notion of that it actually has to be a really good story with really good characters,” he said.

The Gears of War movie has gone through multiple writers, and a new draft is being worked on now, Fergusson said, though he didn’t say who the writer is. F. Scott Frazier (xXx: Return of Xander Cage) was hired to write a draft of the script in November 2018.

The Gears of War movie has been in various stages of development for 12 years already. The Lord of the Rings studio New Line Cinema purchased the rights to make a movie based on the game originally back in 2007, but in October 2016, Microsoft confirmed that the Gears of War movie was in the works with Universal Pictures.

No director has been announced for the movie. The late Tony Scott, who directed Top Gun and Man On Fire, reportedly wanted to direct the Gears of War movie.

The next game is Gears 5 which launches in September for Xbox One and PC. At E3, Microsoft showed off a brand-new mode called Escape. You can see 10 minutes of gameplay from Escape in the video above.

One of Microsoft’s next big exclusive, Gears 5, launches in September for Xbox One and PC, and its release date is just ahead of the release of Project Scarlett in Holiday 2020. Gears 5 will presumably play on Scarlett given the console supports all Xbox One games, but developer The Coalition isn’t ready to talk about its plans yet.

The Coalition boss Rod Fergusson told IGN that he and the team are “really focused” on launching Gears 5 on the existing Xbox consoles. Given that The Coalition is owned by Microsoft, you can connect the dots and imagine that Gears 5 will also support Scarlett, but Microsoft isn’t ready to make any announcements yet.

“Really focused on Gears 5 right now on what we have now in terms of Xbox One X and One S and One Regular. The Xbox One family of devices [in ad sales guy voice],” he said. “That’s what we’re really focused on right now. I think there’s stuff, as first-party, you could probably make some suppositions about what we would and not do but I think it’s too early to talk about that now.”

In June during E3, Xbox boss Jason Ronald confirmed that “thousands” of games from all four generations of Xbox will be playable on Project Scarlett.

In other news, another high-profile first-party Microsoft game, Halo Infinite, is releasing in Holiday 2020 as a launch title for Scarlett. That game will also play on all Xbox One models, as well as PC.

Gears 5 launches on September 10, but those who buy the Ultimate Edition can play beginning September 6. Additionally, all Xbox Game Pass members get the game at no extra cost.
