This Prepper Stash will net you an extra outfit, so it's well worth pursuing. To start, you'll need to head east from Rae Rae's Pumpkin Farm and navigate towards the larger river that runs just over the hill from the farm.

Now look for a small hut at the near end of the bridge in front of you. You can start this quest either by speaking to the NPC walking her dog nearby, or by reading the note on a crate near the hut.

There will be two cultists overlooking the bridge and a few more milling about below. You can silently take the two cultists out (they will be looking away from you.

Some cultists may be on the scaffolding in front of you - if they hear you, they'll climb down and run right around the gorge so you might need to wait and take them out first rather than have someone taking pot shots at you while you're swinging from grapple points.

When the coast is finally clear, use the zipline to reach the first set of scaffolds. When you land safely, turn right, then climb over the ledge and look up. You should see a grapple hook point and prompt.

Press the relevant button to your platform and you'll fire your hook to the anchor point. You'll now need to swing back and forth to build momentum, try ascending or descending slightly to get the angle right. When you're comfortable, grapple mid-swing to the next grapple point.

Ascend slightly then swing over and detach so you land on the next platform.

Repeat this process for the next section, using the three grappling points to reach the next platform. Drop down to the level below and the floor will break beneath you. Don't worry, you won't be hurt. You'll know find yourself in the stash. Fill your boots!
