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.
Smoke Grenades
Smoke grenades provide cover when crossing open ground or when you need to disengage from an unexpected fight near an objective.
Zipline
Ziplines speed up navigation between objectives spread across the map. Place them on high points to create shortcuts for return trips.

Map: Buried City
An urban ruin partially swallowed by shifting earth and time. Narrow streets, collapsed buildings, and underground passages create a maze-like combat environment. Visibility is limited and ambush opportunities are everywhere, both for Raiders and ARC forces.
Navigation is the biggest challenge here. Mark your entry points and keep track of elevation changes. Underground sections can loop back on themselves. ARC Rollers are common in the tighter corridors.
