- Region
- Cascade
Good to know
- It is at the back of a Freaker cave.
- Each research site holds a NERO Injector; you pick a permanent boost to Health, Stamina or Focus.
- Each site also has a NERO Intel recorder.
- Ambush camp maps reveal sites; the intel at one site points toward the next.
- Sites are not missable and stay open after the story ends.
How to get there
It is a Freaker cave, so go at night when the occupants are out feeding. Carry a Molotov or two anyway in case some are still inside.
What's there
A NERO Injector and an intel recorder. Pick the boost you are shortest on: Health if you die to Hordes, Stamina for riding out fights, Focus for slow-mo aiming. NERO checkpoints hold injectors too, so check both on your map.
