How to Unlock Boom Boom Abilities

Gather Resources While Sniping Enemies

The best way to unlock the Pointer ability is by having Boom Boom collect resources, while you snipe enemies from long distance. This prevents you from being detected, while keeping your ammo and resources refreshed constantly.

Bring Boom Boom to Hunting Locations and Military Targets

Boom Boom can track animals and enemies very quick, which is why he is a great Amigo to have when hunting. This makes unlocking Expert Tracker easier, which makes him track much faster than before. You can also let Boom Boom scout ahead in FND Checkpoints and Military Targets. This helps unlock Thick Coat, along with giving you important information you can use to capture areas and take down enemies quietly.

How to Use Boom Boom

Use Him to Scout Enemies

Boom Boom is very effective at scouting enemies and tagging them. This will help you plan out your attack more carefully, and identify which targets to take down first.

Gather Resources from a Distance

Boom boom can also gather resources from dead enemies. This means that you can snipe enemies from a distance, and point Boom Boom to their location and gather different kinds of items. This enables you to move more carefully when sneaking around.
