Geothermal Valley - Surveillance Disruption Mission

In the southwestern part of the valley there's a cabin on the lake with a Remnant hunter standing outside. She offers you a Mission: Surveillance Disruption. The goal is to locate and shoot down 4 Trinity drones.

When you accept, the current location of each drone is marked in green on your map and in Survival Instinct. Before going drone hunting, I recommend taking out the truly dangerous prey in this area: a lynx. This big cat doesn't just hide in its lair; it aggressively defends its territory, which is marked with a big cat icon on the map.

It can generally be found sitting on a platform in a tree just west of the hunter's cabin. The lynx is tough, but don't be afraid.

Approach cautiously. If you have the Animal Instincts skill, it will glow in Survival Instinct so you can spot it before it spots Lara.

While it's still sitting on its perch, hit it with a poison arrow or two. It immediately leaps down and charges.

Switch to the shotgun if you have it, otherwise to the rifle or pistol. As soon as you're able to target it (red reticle), fire and don't stop firing as it charges out of the bushes. Step back as you shoot to try and keep a little distance between you and the cat. If you used poison beforehand, it won't take too many shots to bring it down.

Afterward, be sure to skin it for exotic hides, which will be very useful for crafting.

Now go after the drones. Use the map to pick one and move to its general location.

Then use Survival Instinct to spot it moving among the trees.

Try to track it to a clear spot so you can get a better shot at it. Aim a little ahead of the drone and hold RT/Left Mouse to charge your bow shot as the drone flies into your sights.

Then as soon as the reticle turns red, release the FIre button to shoot.

Boom! One down. Repeat this process for the rest. When you've destroyed all four drones, return to the Remnant hunter for your reward: an ANCIENT HORN BOW plus XP and 3,000 Expedition Credits.
