  • Location: The Landsdowne Airstrip is located in the northern part of Jacob’s Region, just before the mountains. This area is easily accessible by land or air.
  • Triggering the Mission: Upon arriving at the airstrip, you will trigger a Prepper Stash mission called “Hangar Pains,” which is the first step in unlocking the Pack Hunter.

2. Complete the “Hangar Pains” Prepper Stash

To access the hangar with the Pack Hunter, you’ll need to solve a small puzzle involving a broken generator.

  • Fixing the Generator: The hangar is locked due to the broken generator. To get in, go to the roof and enter through the skylight.
    • Helicopter Method: The easiest way is to grab a helicopter from the nearby helipad (southeast of the airstrip) and land it on the roof. This gives easy access to the skylight.
    • Alternative Method: If you prefer, use a wingsuit or parachute to reach the roof from a nearby vantage point.
  • Entering the Hangar: Once on the roof, drop through the skylight to land near the Pack Hunter inside.
  • Loot the Prepper Stash: Inside the hangar, you’ll find money and Perk Points. Be sure to collect them before moving on.
  • Open the Hangar Door: To exit, find the switch on the left side of the hangar (when facing the plane) and open the door. This unlocks the Pack Hunter airplane.

  • Plane Overview: The Pack Hunter is an old, red-and-white fighter plane that combines classic design with modern firepower. It features machine guns, bombs, and rocket launchers, making it a great option for both air-to-air and air-to-ground combat.
