Inside these bunkers are maps that will Reveal the immediate area’s points of interest such as NERO checkpoints, historical Markers, Infestation zones, etc. Liberated ambush camps will also become convenient Fast-Travel points where you can also sleep, access your gun locker, and Refuel. You’ll also get to learn new crafting recipes for completing Ambush Camps.
