The prompt for the first activity is “Hostile forces are on the rise. We can’t let the situation get out of control.”

The solution for the prompt is to complete three hostile open-world activities. The hostile activities are any of the red icons that can randomly appear in enemy-controlled regions on the map. This includes Aerial Recon, Elite Patrol, Propaganda Broadcast, Public Execution, Settlement Blockade, Supply Convoy, and Territory Control. These can be done in any region on the map.

The hint for the second activity is “The Georgetown safe house is out of supplies. Help restock it.”

The answer to the second riddle is to sell 10 items at the Dark Zone West Safe House. Fast travel to the Dark Zone in the northwest section of the map and mark the only safe room in the middle of the zone. Inside the safe room will be a gun locker next to one of the entrances that can be interacted with. Sell 10 weapon or gear items earned from normal missions at the gun locker to complete this challenge.

The hint for the third activity is “One of our agents was KIA in a Dark Zone. Recover their gear and extract it.”

The solution to the third activity is to complete one extraction in any Dark Zone. Pick the Dark Zone with the Toxicity symbol. This zone has been changed to a PvE zone for the duration of Y8S2, so no players can kill you for loot. Open up chests at the landmarks to acquire a Stabilization Agent as well, which is necessary to call an extraction.

Go to any of the extraction areas in the zone and call the helicopter once there. A powerful Rogue Agent will spawn, so keep your distance and continue to shoot it until dead. Once gone, load up your loot on the helicopter rope to finish the challenge. You can also extract your items on ropes called by other players, so simply hang out around the extraction for other players to come if help is needed.
