Run Vinny’s repeatable caravan escort for Activity rewards, Caps, and combat loot when the event is available.
PC / Global, current live game through The Backwoods and Infestations updates
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Where to farm
Big Bend Tunnel East; speak with Vinny at the tunnel entrance.
Riding Shotgun is excluded from the time-based Activity rotation. In the current activity rules, Vinny at Big Bend Tunnel East is the manual repeat trigger, and the event can be attempted again after its stated 20-minute interval. Escorting the caravan gives a focused combat loop with a clear completion reward. Check the live state at Vinny before preparing for another run, because the timer and availability govern access.
Bring a weapon, ammunition, and healing suitable for defending a moving caravan.
Leave carry space for event rewards and picked-up loot.
Travel to Big Bend Tunnel East and speak to Vinny.
If he offers Riding Shotgun, accept the event and follow the caravan’s route into the tunnel.
Stay near the escort and respond to attack prompts as they appear.
Defeat threats along the route, keeping the caravan’s objective active rather than wandering off for unrelated loot.
Complete the final defense and wait for the event completion notice.
Collect the reward bundle and any loot you want to keep.
Speak with Vinny again when you are ready to check whether another run can begin.
Farming tips
The event is not in the ordinary time rotation; Vinny is the place to verify whether a start is available.
Use the event’s on-screen status instead of assuming an exact start time after a run.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat by speaking to Vinny after the 20-minute interval, as long as the event is available; this is a repeatable activity, not a continuously launchable one.
Common mistakes
Searching Featured Activities for Riding Shotgun; go to Vinny because this activity is excluded from that rotation.
Starting without enough supplies for a tunnel fight; prepare before accepting.
Leaving the escort route to chase incidental enemies; prioritize the caravan objective and completion.
When to stop or switch
Stop when you have collected the reward you wanted or Vinny cannot start another run yet.
