Gate West 2

Alright, we're heading into the next section, which the game calls 'The Gate.' It's pretty straightforward, but there are a few important things to grab along the way, so let's make sure you don't miss anything.

Walkthrough

1
You'll start off on Shimmer, just follow the linear path through the forest. Keep an eye out for the first set of cars. To the right of these cars, you'll spot a bus stop. Head over and check inside it – you're looking for Trading Card (05).
2
Hop back on Shimmer and keep moving forward. When you reach the second area with cars, take a left. You'll soon see a trailer off to the left. Go inside and check the cork board on the left wall to find Trading Card (06). While you're in here, loot the place for a map, which is Artefact (10).
3
Get back on Shimmer and continue along the path until you reach the 'QZ' and go through the gate. Once inside, you can loot the buildings. You'll find Artefact (11) and Artefact (12), both notes, in separate buildings.
4
Head to the very back of the area and look to the left of the big gate. There's a booth you can loot for some parts. Further left, you'll find some holding cells (cages) with more supplies. Approach the large gate itself to trigger Journal Entry (05).
5
Now, go to the far left, back corner of this area. You'll see a truck – loot it for some parts. If you exited the second building on the left, look to your right, and you'll see some crates. Climb these crates to get onto the roof of the truck. From there, you can get onto the roof of the cells. Use this to reach the right side of the area.
6
You'll need to do a sprint-jump over to a ladder. Dina will help boost you up. At the top, look to your right and jump over to the platform. Cross it to the other side, then jump back over to the left. Drop down a bit on the left side to find a hole you can crawl through.
7
On the other side, climb up and sprint-jump to the far right side where there's a pole on the platform. Climb the ledge and drop down on the other side. Follow the walkway until you enter a stairwell. Look to your left for a partially hidden ladder.
8
Climb this ladder. You'll find some supplies, parts, and Trading Card (07). Just to its right, there's also a note that is Artefact (13).
9
Climb back down the ladder you came up, then take the second ladder down. You'll need to smash a window to get into a building. Once inside, unlock the door from the interior. In a drawer on the left, you'll find a note with gate codes – this is Artefact (14).
10
Loot the rest of this building. Exit through the door on the opposite side and circle around to the right. Claim the door and interact with the generator.
11
Now, grab the yellow cord attached to the generator. Position yourself facing the right side of the generator and throw the cord over the building.
12
Head through the door you just unlocked and turn around. You'll see the cord hanging against the wall. Climb it to reach the roof. Examine the chair up here for some supplements and a note that is Artefact (15). To the left of that, you'll find more supplements and Trading Card (08).
13
Head back down to the generator. Grab the yellow cord again, and this time, carry it through the open door to the panel located to the left of the gated area. Plug it in, then use the box to press the button, which will open the gate. You can chat with Dina through the slot in the gate wall to your right.
14
Go back to the cord that's plugged into the panel and remove it. Walk back to the generator and face the fence. Hold L2 to aim and throw the cord over the fence so it lands just behind the building on the other side.
15
Head over there, grab the cord, and plug it into the panel on the back of that building. Go inside and loot the place. Look at the right window. Climb onto the counter, melee smash the window, and pass through it.
16
Claim the door on the left and climb up the ladder. Up here, grab the parts, supplements, and any other supplies.
17
Head back down, back into the building, then use the panel. You'll need to enter the password you found earlier in Artefact (14) to operate the main gate. The code is 0512.
18
Dina and Shimmer will come through, but the gate will slam shut behind them. Get on the horse and head to the back of the area to exit. Go straight down, then take a right at the end, and you'll dismount.
