Objective: Find all of Ajay’s lost gear across the valley.
Gameplay: Roam through the areas that are shown on your map to find and collect Ajay’s lost equipment. Be careful of enemy interruptions and animal encounters during your trip.

3. Upgrade Your Base
Objective: To enhance the base, it is necessary to construct and modernize the encampment for better security and more facilities opened up.
Gameplay: By killing animals, searching for materials, and performing additional missions, you can collect the needed resources to improve the different stations of the base camp, like the weapons storage, hospital, and high platform for lookouts.
