This is a standalone story mission that’s part of the larger mission, The Resistance. This is triggered after destroying the second shrine in Dutch’s Island and also serves as a tutorial mission for the Guns for Hire system. Head to the marked fishing dock to find a hostage. There are only two cultists in the area, one is a lookout while the other does the beating. Take out the lookout then carefully kill the other one. Approach the hostage and free him. He’ll pick up the nearby rifle and become your first ally. From hereon, you can hire up to three Guns for Hire. (See this gun’s Gun For Hire page for more details)

With your ally, in tow, your next step is to backtrack to the Forest Research Station that’s now occupied by cultists. There’s a hostage inside and a lot of cultists. It’s recommended to practice using Stealth here to whittle down their numbers before going loud and engaging them. Like before, go to the rock ledge south of the station so you can scout the area using your binoculars. Tag all possible enemies then make your way around, preferably taking out the lone patrols in the northern side of the station. Eliminate all enemies to complete the story mission.
