After the crash, Bravo is stuck in a dark pine forest with nothing but a military base in the distance. Get into Fairlight Base, bring the power back and hold out until a ride can land. 5 collectibles, 3 Hard Cases and 2 supply caches — most of them around the junkyard and the substation.

Survey the area

Act 3, Chapter 1: Stranded.iitsStatic · 4:05 · CC BY 3.0
  1. The first objective is Survey the area, with the hint Head east. That direction leads to a rope — use it to get the squad down the cliff. At the bottom there’s an abandoned camp and, far off, the lights of a base.

Reach Fairlight Base

  1. Follow the trail toward the base (Reach Fairlight Base). The COG Army Knife (collectible 1) is lying on the main path, so keep an eye on the ground. A short scene plays when you come across a Gear hanging from a tree, and from there the Locust chase you through the forest until you reach the junkyard at the edge of the base.
  2. The sub-objective there is Find a way into the base.

Restore the power

The military junkyard outside Fairlight base.iitsStatic · 17:05 · CC BY 3.0
  1. Once the junkyard is quiet, search it: the Fairlight Rifle Range Sign (collectible 2), Prepper’s Scavenging Map (collectible 4) and Hard Case 2 are all here, and Hard Case 1 is on the shooting range. By the crashed plane you’ll find the Gut-Puncher Grenade Rounds (collectible 3) with a supply cache next to them.
  2. The objective is now Restore the power. The substation is the only building that fits — the UIR Soldier Shooting Target (collectible 5) is just outside it, and Hard Case 3 plus the second supply cache are inside. Go upstairs and pull the lever on the control panel.

Reach the helipad

Holding the base on the way to the helipad.iitsStatic · 31:05 · CC BY 3.0
  1. The lights coming on bring every Locust nearby straight to the base. Reach the helipad by first clearing the landing zone — use the wrecked vehicles for cover and top up on ammo in one of the hangars.
  2. Two hulking brutes force their way in near the gate; head shots bring them down fastest. With the area clear, walk onto the helipad to end the chapter.
