How to Access DLC Items

Unlock the Seek, and You Shall Find Side Mission

The DLC items (including pre-order bonuses) will be locked behind the Seek, and You Shall Find side mission. Once unlocked, you'll be able to see the locations of Journalist Stashes scattered throughout the map. Each one will contain 1 DLC item for you to loot.

In order to unlock Seek, and You Shall Find, you'll first have to complete the A Needle In a Haystack main mission in Zalissya. After that is the long process of reaching each far-flung stash location in the Zone.
