Survive - Death Valley- Location of mortar

[ScoobyDooSnac]

Im on death valley mission and when i get to the drone part, i cannot find the mortar fire. It also says that there is infared but that might not help in the day. Where are the people?

I found that all I needed to do is fly the drone up (try turning on auto-hover if you crash it too much as you only need to go up) and then look around using the FLIR (you cycle the view types by hitting "N" if your currently have any beyond normal dayvision). The two spotters are easy to pick out because they are back up the valley away from any friendlies. The thremal sights (thremal sights are not the same as night-vision, but have thier own limiting factors like not being able to see past glass) will show them as a bright spot compared to the ground and rocks. Once you find them hit them with the trageting laser (it is the drone's "main weapon"), and your teammates will take them out.

Arma 3 is very bad at teaching players how to do things. For example at that same point I had issues because I didn't equip the UAV controller and just placed it in my pack. I also flipped the UAV just trying to start the engine.
