Exploring South of Drug Lab

[MikeC]

Has anyone done any exploring south of the Drug Lab? There's a vast area south of the cliffs under the Drug Facility. I've only been there a couple of days and just scratched the surface. Lot's of warriors to deal with but some great terrain. I was wondering what others have found.

[Throsbi]

what game mode? story original or SoA. Survival?

dont want to spoil the discovery ;)

[MikeC]

I'm in survival mode. None of the Story mode goes this far south.

[AfLIcTeD]

There is a cave system and a climb that leads to the SOA map. That's about it.

[MikeC]

Is the map climb north or south of the suspension bridge?

[Throsbi]

original story I don't think you can go past the grappling hook areas south/west of drug lab. SoA is another matter entirely.

In both story I want to say you can explore that area south/ west of drug lab.

If its past the grappling gun spots I suggest you play SoA story. ;)

I haven't run all over entire locations in survival but I haven't found a spot that's not in either original story or SoA maps yet. I have heard there is one.

I do wish the gold mine was possible to access in survival mode. Want to get my greedy paws on some ... o nvm :()

I can't really say if the area is open during story mode but in survival there are two entry points that I have found. One is a cave entry across the river from a lagoon at 42W x 30S. The other is South of the drug lab and requires a hook at 49W x 30S. I've worked by way down to the 50S parallel so far. I haven't found a map, though. That would be helpful.

There are 4 locations to get to the SOA map in survival. The map for that area is located in the steam ship at 36W 42 S

The suspension bridge?? this way further North from the Drugs Base. Across the Lagoon is the Anaconda. The back way leads to the airport.

Please hold up your smart watch face North. then see the drugs base and south of it is the cave for this SOA 1 area is up a log then pass through the cave watch out for scorpions.
You need these maps if you dont mind spoiler before you find the maps.

Jaunitta, we're talking about two completely different areas. The bridge you're talking about is found in the Story mode. The bridge I'm talking about is wayyy south at around 42x38.

THis bridge is known as Snakes pass. IT leads to SOA map 5. The location to find map 5 is the main village 31W 36S

@ MongoDV8
Snakes pass holey cow . That area should not be availabe in story mode or survival.
It becomes available in SOA 3 with a new map.
@MikeC. I'd dearly love to know if you get across that bridge in survival..
The map for that area is availabe at the old tent where Jake and Mia first started in Story.

Yep, that's the bridge. Some of the most beautiful scenery in the game. I've been across the bridge twice and set up a small camp near the south border of the map - the map which I never found. Ended up scouting and making my own map. The natives are ornery enough that I came home to my camp at the drug lab.

I didn't know there was a SOA 3. I'll have to check that out. Thank you.
