Side Mission: Grand Slam

• Prerequisites: None
• Rewards: Cougars T-shirt, 200 Resistance Points, $900
• Details: Help George complete his baseball card collection.

MISSION Commencement (1)

Find George Wilson in the baseball field behind Oberlin Picnic Area, north of Clagett Bay just off the main road. He’s reminiscing about the folks he used to play baseball with. It would sure be appreciated if you could find the nine mementos of the local baseball heroes. They’re scattered all over Whitetail Mountains.

MISSION Commencement (2)

Or, you can simply find one of the nine Cougars Baseball Card trophies at the locations detailed below, and then talk to George; the mission begins when you talk with George.

Baseball Cards Collected (9)

Cougars Baseball Card: Your world map (and the guide’s Atlas) now features a new icon. This appears when you’re close to a Cougars Baseball Card at a specific location. There are no randomly located cards; all are within Whitetail Mountains Region, and the rest of this mission details where all of them are. Seek them out in any order you like.

You can purchase a map showing the location of all these items at a shop, though this is unnecessary with the guide in your hands!

COUGARS BASEBALL CARDS: Whitetail Mountains (9)

Unless indicated, the following nine areas are secondary locations that do not appear as icons on your in-game world map.

#1: North Aerial Tower

On the mountain ridge along the region’s far northwestern edge, west of Cedar Lake, is the North Aerial Tower (Tammy Barnes’s Story Mission: Radio Silence has an objective here).

Expect light cult presence. Gather the card from the desk shelf near the side door.

#2: Cedar Lake Cult Cabin

Along the northern shore of Cedar Lake, just northwest of the dam, is a cult cabin with flags and a light enemy presence.

Check inside the cabin for the card. It’s on a dresser just left of the wall map.

#3: F.A.N.G. Center

This is a cult outpost and easily spotted. Before or after liberating the location, check the shop by the main entrance.

Inside, you’ll find the card on one of the empty store shelves.

#4: McNeill Residence

This is a primary location, east of the F.A.N.G. Center. Check the small storage shed outside the main cabin, watching for bears.

Open the door to this storage shed. The card is on a rickety shelf by the door, above a dresser and blue water containers.

#5: Mountain Pumpkin Patch

Midway between the PIN-K0 Radar Station (cult outpost) and the Jefferson Lookout Tower is a mountainside potting shed where pumpkins are grown.

Check inside the shed. The place is a mess, but the card is on a shelf above the stove.

#6: Cooper Cabin

This is a primary location, near the lake northeast of Wolf’s Den. Expect a light enemy presence here.

Storm the cabin, checking the ransacked bedroom in one corner. The baseball card is on a tiny shelf near the bunk beds.

#7: South Hills: Cult Cabin

Locate this cabin just south of the F.A.N.G. Center in the upper elevations and marsh ground where cult activity is likely to be occurring.

You rescued Nancy the truck during Story Mission: The Prodigal Son. Check the shelf with the clock on it, above the sofa, for the card.

#8: South Hills: Trailer

On the hillside above the Baron Lumber Yard (cult outpost) is a lone trailer used as a ramp during a nearby Clutch Nixon mission.

Smash through any of the boarded-up entrances, and grab the card from the shelf below the “Hope County Cougars” sign.

#9: Golden Valley Gas (Clagett Bay)

Midway between Clagett Bay and Widow’s Creek along the main road is a gas station. It’s been commandeered by the cult. Expect possible activity.

The store inside has been ransacked, though the card is still there, on a shelf below the “Clothing” sign.

TALK to George

Only after gathering all nine baseball cards, head back to the Oberlin Picnic Area, and give the collection to George, who justly rewards you with a T-shirt and money.
