Complete the Gearing Up mission in far cry 5. Find stashes at Lookout Tower, Cooper Cabin, and Redtail Cabin.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Speak with Wheaty near Eli at the Wolf’s Den. He needs you to find hidden stashes, but there is no map. Head to the Jefferson Lookout Tower, located a short distance to the northwest.
  2. 2
    At the Lookout Tower, dispatch the two cultists (or find it empty). Enter the tower to find a Med Kit, a Comic Book, cash, and the map.
  3. 3
    The nearest cabin is Cooper Cabin. Pilot the nearby helicopter towards it, then leave it in the hills and approach on foot from the west for a vantage point.
  4. 4
    Tag cultists from the hills. Go down the hill behind the house and eliminate the two patrolling cultists, hiding the first body. Circle to the front to dispatch two more, then snipe the remaining two by the docks.
  5. 5
    Inside Cooper Cabin, find a safe, supplies, and a Cougars Baseball Card. Outside, south of the cabin, locate a small bunker containing an LMG, ammo, and the first stash.
  6. 6
    Walk southeast to Redtail Cabin. Although initially empty, a patrol will arrive shortly. Stay hidden and eliminate them one by one.
  7. 7
    The first stash is in a small bunker outside the cabin. The Redtail stash is in a hatch.
  8. 8
    Inside Redtail Cabin, find more ammo and a shotgun. Exit the cabin, turn right, and follow a path to a hatch leading to a bunker with the second stash.
  9. 9
    As you leave the bunker, you'll receive a radio message about cultists attacking the cabin with the last stash. Use a nearby quad to head to the cabin.
  10. 10
    Warning: No time for stealth; cultists have the stash and are escaping in an ATV. Chase them using your quad. If you stray too far, you will fail the mission. Maintain full speed.
  11. 11
    Two more ATVs will shoot at you. If you are not confident shooting while driving, focus on chasing the lead ATV.
  12. 12
    When close to the lead ATV with the stash, shoot the driver to kill him, causing the stash to drop. Alternatively, call upon Nick Rye to target the driver from above.
  13. 13
    Loot the dropped stash from the body.
  14. 14
    Return to Wheaty at the Wolf’s Den to complete the mission.
Tips
  • If you cannot get a shot off at the lead ATV driver, use Nick Rye for aerial support.
  • Hide the bodies of cultists you eliminate to avoid detection.
