High Tension solution

Location: Lincoln Lookout Tower

Rewards: 3 x perk magazines, $1,000

This one can be quite tricky if there are a lot of cultists about, but if you know where you're going, you shouldn't have too much trouble. To kick things off, head to the Lincoln Lookout Tower and clear out the cultists patrolling nearby.

We encountered at least one sniper up on the tower's main platform and a VIP among others on the ground. Taking out the sniper is the best method, then you can approach without fear of being headshotted.

When the coast is clear,ascend the staircase and check the note by the door for a clue of where to go. Look to your left and you'll spy a zipline leading down into the trees. Jump up and you'll automatically start riding it down.

When you land you'll be on a small platform up in the trees. Jump up and start riding the next zipline down.

There's no platform at the end of this zipline, but don't worry, you'll automatically drop and ride the third one as you go. At the end of this zipline you'll land on another platform in the trees.

Now jump across to the next platform, then ride the next zipline to the next section. Now you'll need to safely jump across another gap to a final tree-based platform. Now look for the final zipline - it will lead you to an opening in a large silo.

Ride the final zipline right inside the silo, and watch out for cultists - this area is crawling with them (including a flamethrower heavy). Now you can take advantage of that big stash of goodies.

Be sure to grab any extra ammunition, explosives and any additional resources for craftables while you're here. You should be safe from being spotted up here, but you can climb safely down to the bottom and take on the enemies or simply use another fast travel point to escape.
