How to Get the Swamp Journalist Stash

Finish the Ad astra per aspera Main Mission First

You won't be able to get the Swamp Journalist Stash until after completing Ad astra per aspera, the 11th main mission. If you try going to this location before Ad astra per aspera is completed, you will be teleported back to an earlier location as soon as you reach the Warren Shack.

During Ad astra per aspera, you'll be turning off the Psi-Emitters littered around the swamp. Doing so allows you to pass through the Warren Shack and straight to the Clear Sky Base where the Swamp Journalist Stash is located.
