Objectives
All objectives carry over between raids. You do not need to complete everything in a single run.
Walkthrough Tips
Search objectives have specific interaction zones you need to reach. Use your compass marker to navigate to the general area, then look for the highlighted interaction point. Some search areas may have multiple valid spots.
Delivery objectives require you to carry items to a destination. Dying while carrying quest items won't lose them permanently, but you'll need to retrieve them from the quest giver again.
This quest can be completed on any map. Choose a map you're comfortable with or one where you have other objectives to work on simultaneously.
This quest is part of a chain. Completing the previous quest(s) in the series is required before this one becomes available from the trader.
Recommended Loadout
Light Weapon (Pistol or SMG)
Exploration quests have less direct combat but you still need something for self-defense. A lightweight weapon keeps your mobility high.
Healing Items (Bandages or Medkits)
Delivery runs mean traveling across the map while carrying quest items. Healing supplies keep you alive during the long trek without needing to divert for supplies.
Zipline
Ziplines speed up navigation between objectives spread across the map. Place them on high points to create shortcuts for return trips.
