Gray Zone Warfare: What’s in the Box quest guide – How to gather the intel

What kind of deals are going down?

In any other circumstance, the villas near the Midnight Sapphire hotel in Gray Zone Warfare would be a relaxing vacation, but not when you need to secure intel amidst a number of enemy AI combatants.

The What’s in the Box task is assigned to you by the Gray Zone Warfare vendor Banshee, and you’re tasked with gathering intel on some “shady army deals” going down in the area. The task is very similar to Celebrity Crash and Dirt Digger, and even takes place in a nearby location. But unlike those tasks, you’ll need to pick up a crucial item before you can accomplish your objective.

The intel you’re looking for in What’s in the Box is located on a laptop computer in the southwest area of the Whitewater Villas section of the Midnight Sapphire location, at map coordinates (172, 164). The villa will have an open, sliding gate, and a red car in the open garage.

Either of the three surrounding Hotel landing zones (Hotel 1, Hotel 2, or Hotel 3) should offer you a relatively safe path to the Whitewater Villas section, allowing you to avoid the heavily occupied central area of the Midnight Sapphire Hotel.

But on your way toward the villa that’s marked on the map, you’ll need to engage and defeat enemies in hopes that one of them drops the Villa Anna Jana key, which you’ll need to access the intel. The large villa itself is unlocked, but the small pool house in the backyard, where the intel is, will be locked, requiring the Villa Anna Jana key.

Once you get the key, head to the small villa behind the main one at the location marked above, open the door, and interact with the computer on the desk. Then, make your way to the nearest exfil and turn in the task to Banshee.
