The Meat Chunk can be found in various places. While it is not exactly a safe place to go looking for it, there are a few on the piles of rubbish in Garbage, however it is advisable to watch out for the increasing doses of radiation, and they can also be found behind the camp where Bes is. A few can also be found in the Dark Valley.
