Subregion 1: PIN-K0 Radar Station

Overview

Perhaps the most inaccessible part of Whitetail Mountains, the PIN-K0 Radar Station sits above gorges, scree slopes, and ice-blue lakes that would be picturesque were it not for the scars of Eden’s Gate activity. Much of this territory is to the west of the main tarmac road. Expect waterfalls, an abundance of grapple climbing, numerous trails leading to odd out-of-the-way locations, and few major confrontations.

Ammo (Few), Climbing Spots, Grapple Spots, Items (Few), Landmark, Underground, Vista

This is a favorite spot for the cult to throw nonbelievers to their deaths—from “Devil’s Drop,” an opening halfway down the tunnel. If you have a wingsuit, you can fly from here or from an even higher point above the tunnel. Grapple up to reach it.

Secondary Locations (16)

Tammy Barnes requires you to clear this area of foes during one of her missions.

The mast makes a great base-jump point, though there’s an official one nearby too. Check the cabin for the collectible.

[5] Cult Checkpoint

Ammo (Few), Bliss (Barrels), Enemies (Cultist), Vehicle (Car/Truck)

One of the ways to reach the cult outpost is by road. The checkpoint north of the mountain has a guarded checkpoint to negotiate.

Ammo (Few), Enemies (Cultist), Gas Canister and Propane Tank (Explosive), Grapple Spots, Vehicle (Quad)

On the threshold of the cult outpost, below the main structures, is a metal and rudimentary barracks. There is usually little to no cult presence. There are some items and a grapple cliff here.

[14] Eagle Eyrie

Climbing Spots, Enemies (Animal), Grapple Spots, Vista, Zip Lines

The high cliff ridge south of Snowshoe Lake is the domain of the bald eagle. Start Bo Adams’s side mission first so your grappling ascent to this mountaintop isn’t for nothing. You can approach from the scree slopes to the south to reach here too.
