I hear the door creak before I see the notes. You crouch, breath caught, because the map has a small, smug secret. In that pause you realize the reward is just three pickups away.
I’ve chased these fragments across runs and checked every barrel and porch twice so you don’t have to. You’ll get the full coordinates, the simplest route between them, and a quick play plan for the Saloon.
The northern ridge has a lone cabin — Area 41 Music Disc fragment locations in Far Far West
The three fragments are deliberately low-key. You can collect them in any order, split the search across multiple runs, and still complete the disc. Below is the map screenshot with all three spots marked; follow the steps and you’ll assemble the disc before the next server cycle.
- Fragment 1 — North: Head to the uppermost area. There’s a small house with barrels inside; the fragment sits on top of the barrels, inconspicuous like a pocket watch in a cornfield.
- Fragment 2 — South: Drop down to the southern marker. You’ll find a tiny shack; check the interior and grab the piece off a low shelf. It’s one of those refuses-to-show-until-you-open-the-door type finds.
- Fragment 3 — Southwest: From the shoreline climb the rocks to reach a raised ledge. A record player and a barrel sit close together — the fragment lies beside that barrel, and picking it up completes the disc, sudden like a secret handshake under dim saloon lights.
Where are the Area 41 music disc fragments located?
They’re clustered across the north, south, and southwest of Area 41. Each fragment is placed in small structures or next to obvious props — barrels, a shelf, a record player — so once you know the landmarks, the search collapses into a few tidy detours.
How do I combine the disc fragments?
Collect all three fragments and they auto-merge into the Always Late disc. No crafting bench, no menu juggling. After assembly the disc becomes available at the Saloon’s phonograph for immediate playback.
Can I collect fragments across multiple runs?
Yes. The fragments persist between runs, so you can pick one now and finish later. That flexibility is handy whether you’re speedrunning, streaming for views on YouTube, or coordinating a quick raid with friends from the Steam community or a Reddit group.
The Saloon’s phonograph waits — How to recover, combine, and play the Always Late disc
When all pieces are in your inventory they’ll form the track automatically; then head to the Saloon and drop the disc into the player. It’s a small reward, but it’s satisfying — and it nudges you toward an exclusive Far Far West progress line and cosmetic touches other players will notice.
If you own the game on Steam for $19.99 (€18) this handful of minutes feels like a tidy return for your time. Speedrunners and collectors in the community — from dedicated threads on Reddit to clips on YouTube and write-ups on sites like Moyens I/O — have already turned these spots into mini-routes you can copy or refine.
Which fragment will your run-of-the-week make famous, and will the community call the design clever or accidental?
