Original quest dialogue

Hey, get over here, I have a big deal! You have probably heard already that there are a couple of foreign drones downed in the area? Good people have asked me to salvage something for them, controllers or whatnot. I don’t know what that is, I, frankly, I don’t give a fuck, all I know is that they’re paying some good crispy green and obviously don’t want our domestic tech pool expansion. These drones are most likely already pulled apart, but it’s still worth a look. Keep in mind, that before they lost contact with command, USECs received an order to check up the drones and fetch the gyros from the abandoned Russian military vehicles. You need to search the places where they used to hang out. I know it’s fucked up to work for them capitalists, but such a pile of cash is stronger than my patriotism. I know the USECs were hanging around Shoreline and Woods, so it’s worth checking there first.

Finally, you dragged it all. Awesome! I won’t disappoint you either. So, seen any USECs around the cars? Well, doesn’t matter.

Find the motor controller and single-axis fiber optic gyroscope on Woods. The controller is at the checkpoint area, and the gyroscope is at the sawmill. Use the Woods location images below for the two pickups.
Both items go into quest inventory. Extract with them and hand them over rather than heading to the Resort for the old Shoreline collection route. The former West 216 and East 306/308 key list is not needed for these Woods objectives.
