How to Get into Wild Island Base

Acquire the Ward Badge

You can acquire the Ward Badge by showing the unusual PDA to Korshunov in the Back to Slag Heap main mission. This is a preferable action because acquisition of the Ward Badge grants you access to Ward Bases, and it provides an easier progression of main missions in terms of objectives.
