If players are having difficulty completing the quest, they should note that both locations do not need to be found in a single run. However, after finding the location of the second objective (whether it be the convoy or USEC camp), players must successfullyextract from Woodsin order to complete the mission.

Before heading into Woods, players should also be aware that the map is quite large with very few indoor locations, requiring players to come well equipped with a suitable long-ranged build. While a scoped rifle is ideal for the map, if players are short on funds, a rifle such as theMosin Nagantis also extremely useful.

One of the most challenging aspects of completing the quest forplayers new to the Woods mapis the size of the area and the fact that it is extremely easy to get lost due to the lack of identifiable landmarks. However, there are several landmarks that players should take note of, that will indicate they are in the right location for the quest.

The first location that players must find is the convoy that is located in the far north of the map on the main road. Players will know that they are in the correct location if they are in a place populated with small ponds on both sides of the road.  If players reach a large radio tower along the main road, they will know that they have gone too far and must head back the opposite way.

To find the USEC camp location, head south in the direction opposite to the radio tower, and convoy. Eventually, the road will split, making a triangle shape. At this impasse, proceed right (west) towards a group of small mountains off in the distance. On the opposite side of the mountains, players will find the USEC camp. Players should ensure to loot the camp as there are several high-value drops and crates in this location.
