How to approach it
Cut or shoot the loudspeakers before you turn the power on, or they blare and draw Freakers. Then get the generator running with fuel, a new fuse or a reconnected cable, depending on the site.
What's inside
With the power on, the NERO trailer opens. Inside are the NERO Injector, which raises Health, Stamina or Focus, and the Intel Recorder. A powered checkpoint becomes a fast travel point.
Plan the trip
Black Crater Ambush Camp to the west and Crazy Willie's to the east both pay Hot Springs too.
