Outlast Contract Tips

Prepare Armor Plates

Since you have to stay and protect the area, you won't be able to move as much compared to when doing other contracts. It's best to have a couple of armor plates ready to replenish your armor if you are overwhelmed.

Ask Your Squad for Help

Although it is not necessary to have a full squad while doing this contract, it is recommended, as having more players in the area can help you secure entry points, and you can cover each other from the horde.
