Outposts

Availability: Begin “Public Face”

Location: Talk to Savvy in Troy’s Tower

Rewards: 10,000 Survivor XP

Difficulty: Hard

Savvy tells you about Rais’ bases of operation in Old Town. They’re filled with thugs and can’t be taken on by most of the survivors that are out here. However, you can fill your pack with bullets and useful supplies if you take over the locations.

Once you have your guns and best melee weapons ready, go to the high rise in Old Town that he marks. An elevator near the roof lets you get into the main portion of the Outpost, where the fighting starts. Go through the elevator shaft and on to the upper floor of the Outpost. You have to clear a huge number of thugs to complete the mission. If you take the bottom elevator into each Outpost, you maintain the element of surprise. This is useful if you have mastered Takedown!

Switch to ranged weapons (and a mouse and keyboard if you can) and go through both floors of the office using cover as much as possible. It’s easy to die quickly if you stay in the open, so avoid the center until you’ve cleared most of the enemies that are wandering around. Use your mini-map to quickly gauge the threat of each room before you enter.

After killing all of the enemies, loot the building. There are Disaster Packages to take back to base. They’ll get you tons of Survivor XP. Clear the Radio Outpost later for even more XP. It’s just as valuable to you in terms of loot and experience. When you see them, feel free to engage.
