Engage in Gray Zone Warfare not only to combat adversaries and ensure survival but also to assist the indigenous population of Lamang Island. Supporting the locals not only earns you their trust but also unlocks valuable rewards crucial for your progression.

Interacting with the Crimson Shield International faction reveals Handshake as your primary contact. As you advance in the game, various quests arise, including the pivotal Rat's Nest quest in Gray Zone Warfare.

Conquering the Rat’s Nest Mission in Gray Zone Warfare

Upon receiving the mission from Handshake, carefully note the objectives. Players must explore two distinct locations to acquire essential intelligence. However, the game does not explicitly mark these areas, posing a challenge if no team member is familiar with them.

Head northwest on the map, close to the Kiu Vongsa point of interest, to reach the first area. Locate a dilapidated building nestled amidst trees between the Water Tower and the Convenience Store. Ascend the stairs to find an office where you can retrieve crucial intel by answering a phone.

Proceed to the second area, also near Kiu Vongsa. Head east towards the Town Hall and Gas Station, remaining vigilant for enemies and ensuring your health is optimal. Inside a building, locate a folder on a desk after entering through the front door. Acquire these two crucial items, then submit them in the tasks menu to successfully finish the Rat’s Nest mission for Handshake and the Crimson Shield faction.

For your efforts in securing the intelligence, Handshake will compensate you with $3,600, 400 XP, a set of Patrol Gear, and enhance your Handshake Reputation by +100.
