Undiscovered places

[silverchin]

Its always nice to find places you previously had missed, an abandoned mine in Bektov valley is one of those places and was loads of fun, even after completion it was still full of enemies on a revisit, if you've previously been there you'll know what i'm on about but if not checkout my screenshots for the location.
there must be quite a few places on different maps i've missed.
please feel free to mention any cool places you've stumbled upon that might otherwise have been overlooked

In Bektov Valley there are 3 place, (that I know about ) that you can use to get onto the ridges around the mine. You can also climb the gantries you see on the hillsides.

The simplest way is the jump on the top of the catwalk, (use the roof of the nearby building), and jump to the ridge. You may need to bunny-hop a couple times to get to the flat part.

That puts you above the snipers and Team Alpha if you haven't executed the bounty yet.

I'm not sure i understand where you mean, what are the 'gantries'? not sure where the catwalk is either..

I do like to find a challenge in Bektov tho, the initial insertion point where you're warned not to take them on as there are too many is fun especially on deadeye

littlenudges,

Here is a thread about the dealing with Team Alpha that cover getting on the ridge.

Thanks man, I'll give that method a go,
I previously killed team alpha by littering their path to me with mines before looting the body at the top of the central structure, took a couple of goes but was fun!

I seem to be stuck trying to get to the catwalk, I only get as far as the roof of the low building https://ibb.co/vD5fCLc
but cant climb any higher

If you go up the other catwalk and drop onto the roof of the building you're looking at, you jump to the top of that catwalk and climb up to the place that will get you to the ridge.

You can see the opening with the blue trap.

lol https://ibb.co/s9Sd19j
strangely the bounty was in the hidden valley again not team alpha, so after taking out all hostiles and looting the bounty again, team alpha appeared and that was that!
will try again tho as i like the idea of dealing with team alpha from the high vantage point.

Glad you were able to get on the ridge.

If you kill the bounty but don't loot him, you can carry him to the cave/tunnel on the south end of the mining complex and drop him in front of the ledges you need to climb to exit the tunnel. You can then loot him and jump up the ledges and circle around the ridge back to the area with the catwalks. When you get onto the ridge, most of the Team Alpha are on the top of the mine derrick, (I called them gantries, but derrick is probably more correct.) Team Alpha are fish in a barrel:)

BTW, you can follow the ridge all the way to the area of the initial map spawn. You can get behind the sniper in the ridge that is on your left when you first spawn.

If you climb the ridge in the other direction, you can get onto/behind the buildings on the hill, but if you jump too far down, you'll need to exit or reload to get out.

There is another "out of bounds" area is in the Sibirskaya-7 Junction railyard. In the southwest end of the yard, are 2 signal bridges. If you climb onto the railing of the balcony, you can jump onto the bridges and drop into the fenced area. Then you can go around the back of the buildings and reach the stone ridge on the other end of the rail yard. You can drop into the fenced in section between the outside fence and the offices with Alikhanow. Unfortunately, you can't get out without reloading.

I think I left the tunnel before the team alpha countdown had finished counting down..
Its no fun when you carry the body all the way to the tunnel exit, check the ammo cache turn around and find the body has vanished lol the loot icon was all the way back atop the central structure except no body to be found!
Oh well Sibirskaya-7 sounds good i'll check that out next

Make sure you don't drop the body too close to another object. It "transports" itself back to its last location:(

Not sure i know what signal bridges look like but is this anywhere close? https://ibb.co/0QyCJsf

This is what I am referring to: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2555360746
(Correction: These aren't signal bridges, they are electric gantries. Same structure, different purpose.)

Jump onto the railing: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2555360964

Jump to the first one: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2555361182

Jump to the second one: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2555361492

Drop to the ground behind the fence: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2555361632

(You'll take some damage, but should be able to recover.)

Note: you can get into the fenced-in section of the yard, (by the tower), crawling through a gap in the fence or by the stone ridge, but you can't get back out. (If you can, you're a better Ghost Warrior than I am:))

Thanks man, I didnt find much in the fenced off area but that whole section was fun, dont even remember it from my last playthrough!
