Loot & plant the seven Tracking Devices

The first task of the mission is straightforward. Make your way to the Al-Sharim Pass Dumpster dead drop to collect the seven tracking devices. You might recognize this location from previous missions like Night Operation and Substantial Findings. You can find the exact location marked on the map above. Once you reach the dead drop, simply collect all seven trackers and then move on to the second objective.

The second task involves planting the tracking devices you collected, on Al-Qatala trucks. To do this, head to the Sattiq Caves Complex POI on Al Mazrah. Look for trucks with the AQ logo on them; there are a total of seven trucks in the vicinity.

You’ll find one truck above the riverside caves, and two more are located within the riverside caves. Additionally, one truck can be found outside the entrance to the Sattiq Upper Caverns area, while three more are inside the caves. Take a look at the map above to get a better idea of the exact locations of these trucks.

Once you’re near the trucks, follow the on-screen prompts to plant the trackers. Carefully approach each truck and interact with them to complete the planting process. Once you’ve successfully planted all the tracking devices on the seven trucks, the second Route Forward objective will be marked as completed.

Travel to the server rack in Sattiq Caves and download the data

The third and final objective of the mission is to travel to the bunker located in Sattiq Caves and download the data from the server rack. Unlike the previous two tasks, you don’t need to complete this objective in the same deployment. The bunker’s location is marked on the map above. To start the download process, simply enter the bunker and interact with the server rack. Successfully downloading the data will wrap up The Route Forward mission.
