Your first objective after flying into the Army Depot is to find a message log. The device is near the train wreckage right in front of you, marked on your map. Grab it just after climbing the ramp into the depot, before the locked zipline, and finish the wave for the next step in this mission.

After that, you must head into theinspection room.Head straight and make a left once you see the containers in the shipping area. This should lead you through the large set of blast doors into a part of the room with a square marked on the floor and a set of stairs to your right. There are three tainted corpses in this room, and we’ll tell you where to find them.

If you walked in from the large door, the first corpse should be just to your left, lying on top of a container. Climb on it to grab this sample, then look to your left (away from the door) for the second tainted corpse on the ground.

The last tainted corpse sample is up top. Climb the first set of stairs, then either jump on the hanging container or go the long way around it. The final corpse sample will be at the foot of the container, on a wall with an A painted over it.
