BUILDING THE RESISTANCE
Be sure you complete the
following tasks to build resistance
on Dutch's Island. Each rewards
you with Resistance Points (RP).
When you've gathered enough RP,
the location becomes liberated.
Then apply this to all three of the
vast outer regions of Hope Valley.
Rescue civilians: Anyone exhibiting this icon is being held against their
will; civilians who pose no threat have a circle icon above them. Save
them to earn RP and potentially gain clues to nearby missions. Most
civilian rescues are random, free-form events.
Destroy cult properties: This is a free-form activity; it involves locating a
cult property, which takes a different form depending on the region, and
destroying it. Expect a light cult presence at each property. There are
also cult vehicles (e.g., fuel tankers, Bliss trucks) with the same icon;
destroying these also nets you RP. In the case of Dutch's Island, these
Shrines consist of white huts with a steeple. Shoot or lob explosives at
the explosive canister at the base of the steeple.
Liberate cult outposts: These are strongholds that are usually heavily
guarded and may have alarms, different foe types, and the possibility of
reinforcements. They are the toughest places to liberate, so preplanning
and ranged reconnaissance are recommended.
Complete missions: These are either story or side missions, and you
can receive hints from liberated civilians on their whereabouts. Most
are related to a particular character. Note that the total "missions" for
each region is the total story, side, and Prepper Stash missions added
together.

Finally, once the island is liberated, Dutch instructs you on how the World Map
works, and you're free to explore the vast wilderness of Hope County.

STORY MISSION:
A GLIMMER OF HOPE
Prerequisites: Complete Story Mission: No Way Out
Rewards: None
Details: Meet Dutch and get updated on the situation.

CHANGE Clothes
After you're pulled to safety, you
wake up inside Dutch's bunker,
under the northeastern corner of
Dutch's Island. Inspect the metal
clothing locker to access the
Character Customization menu.
Choose clothes and appearance,
the latter of which you cannot
change after this point.

TALK to Dutch
TAKE the Gun and Map from the Safe

DUTCH'S ISLAND ACTIVITIES

Learn the fundamentals of
mission structure; how to
complete story missions (no side
missions are available), liberate
a cult outpost (and optionally
complete this "undetected"),
and destroy cult properties; the
location and discovery of your
first Prepper Stash; the rescue of your first Gun for Hire ally; and the tenets of
building the resistance.
Though the following are not flagged on this map, you will randomly:
Encounter cultists
Free hostages
Find hostages who offer hints about Prepper Stashes and other missions
Find reading material clues
Gather weapons and equipment (and perfect the Weapon and Utility
Wheel navigation)
Try different methods of enemy takedowns
Hunt ducks

Richard "Dutch" Roosevelt
Explore the interior of Dutch's bunker. Almost all the rooms (except the armory)
are accessible. Meet Dutch in the comms room, where he explains your
predicament. It looks like you're on your own.
Now grab the P226 handgun, the armory key, and the Hope County map from the
open safe behind you. The Inventory and World Map menus are now unlocked.

EXIT the Bunker
Before exiting, you can study the map and read information on the Seed Family
in the comms room. Then optionally search every room in the bunker, read more
about Dutch, and listen to radio and phone messages from Fall's End and RaeRae's Pumpkin Farm (both in Holland Valley). There's a medkit, a shovel, and
other minor equipment to gather if you want too.
The armory (unlocked using the key from the comms room safe) simply holds
more ammunition for your handgun.
When you're ready to venture outside, head to the bunker exit. Optionally grab
a pipe melee weapon at the foot of the stairs, open the bunker door above your
head, and step out, ready to explore and liberate Dutch's Island. Pick some
Prickly Lettuce growing just outside the hatch before you depart. This is a
component (Inventory menu).

Forage for plants (part of the Inventory menu you should also study)
