Checkpoints
Checkpoints are small FND roadblocks you capture for XP and intel. Each one has a locked room you open with a key earned on capture, and a local who marks nearby anti-aircraft sites, ambushes and bases.

Good to know
- Yara has 26 checkpoints across five regions.
- Isla Santuario has 1, Madrugada 7, Valle De Oro 8, El Este 8 and Esperanza 2.
- Each has huts, a few sentries, an alarm and spike strips across the road.
- Only some checkpoints carry an Antón Castillo billboard.
- Guards must run to the alarm by hand, so taking it out first keeps reinforcements away.
What's here
A handful of huts and outpost buildings around the road, guarded by FND sentries. Expect an alarm and spike strips laid out to stop vehicles.
How to take it
Scout and tag the sentries with your phone, then shoot the alarm or stop anyone running for it. A guard who finds the broken alarm can still alert the others. Do not drive through, as the spikes pop your tyres.
Rewards
Each capture gives XP and the key to the checkpoint's locked room. A local you can talk to afterwards reveals nearby anti-aircraft sites, ambushes, FND bases and other checkpoints.
