Navigating the dense jungles of Lamang requires more than just a steady aim; it requires keen investigative skills, especially when tackling the gray zone warfare harvest moon task. Assigned by the vendor Banshee, this mission sends contractors deep into the southern and eastern regions of the map to uncover the illicit agricultural operations fueling the local conflict. To complete the gray zone warfare harvest moon objective, you must locate four distinct hidden poppy fields, investigate specific intelligence documents at each site, and report your findings back to base. This task is notorious for its long travel distances and the heavy AI presence guarding the valuable crops, making preparation essential before you head out into the field.
Task Overview and Requirements
Before setting out, ensure you have adequate ammunition and medical supplies. The poppy fields are often situated in remote areas where extraction points (LZs) may be several hundred meters away. You will be visiting four locations across the map, ranging from the F.A.L.N.G. Airfield area down to the southern border near YBL-1.
| Objective | Requirement | Location Region |
|---|---|---|
| Investigate Field 1 | Read Labor Allocation Request | East of F.A.L.N.G. Airfield |
| Investigate Field 2 | Read Weekly Shipment Note | South of F.A.L.N.G. Airfield |
| Investigate Field 3 | Read Oversight Agreement | South of Ghost 3 / Ground Zero |
| Investigate Field 4 | Read Harvest Discipline Notice | South of Lima 2 / Near YBL |
Warning: Several poppy fields contain locked rooms with high-tier loot. If you have the keys for these areas, bring them along to maximize your profit while completing the task.
Poppy Field 1: East of F.A.L.N.G.
The first location for the gray zone warfare harvest moon mission is situated at coordinates 192 154. This field is located to the east of the main airfield and southeast of the Nomad extraction point.
When you arrive, look for a small cluster of structures near the center of the poppy rows. You are searching for a document titled "Labor Allocation Request." This paper is usually found resting on a table or a makeshift desk within the work area. Interacting with this document will trigger the task update for the next location.
Poppy Field 2: South of Falcon
The second field is located at 178 152, just south of the Falcon (F.A.L.N.G.) perimeter. This area is slightly more built-up than the first, featuring an open-sided building used for processing the harvest.
- Approach the open structure at the edge of the field.
- Locate the "Weekly Shipment Note" resting on a crate or table.
- Interact with the note to "Read" it, which updates your progress with Banshee.
Poppy Field 3: The Northern Haul
The third location, found at 172 132, is often considered the most difficult due to the distance from common LZs. If you are playing as the Mithras faction, you may have a slightly shorter trek, but for most players, this is a significant "haul" through dangerous territory.
| Coordinate | Key Document | Interaction |
|---|---|---|
| 172 132 | Protective Oversight Agreement | Translate & Close |
Expect to encounter approximately 7-10 AI combatants patrolling this field. Once the area is clear, move toward the green folder located in the open-sided structure. You must select the "Translate" option to properly register the intelligence for the gray zone warfare harvest moon quest.
Poppy Field 4: Southern Border
The final poppy field is located at the far southern end of the map, below the Lima 2 landing zone at coordinates 149 117. This field is near the YBL-1 bunker complex and is heavily guarded by local militia.
Instead of a processing shed, the intelligence here is located at a residential-style house. Walk up to the front porch of the main building. At the end of the porch, you will find a book titled "Harvest Discipline Notice." Translate and close the book to complete the final objective of the mission.
Tip: After investigating the final document, you do not need to survive the extraction to keep your quest progress, though it is highly recommended to safeguard any loot found in the poppy field houses.
Rewards for Completion
Once all four fields have been investigated, return to your Base of Operations (PVP/PVE) and speak with Banshee to turn in the task. Completion of the gray zone warfare harvest moon mission typically grants significant reputation with Banshee, which is vital for unlocking higher-tier ammunition and weapon attachments.
- Experience Points: Significant boost to player level.
- Vendor Reputation: Increases Banshee's trust level.
- Currency: Cash reward based on faction performance.
- Equipment: Often includes specialized medical supplies or tactical gear.

FAQ
Q: Do I have to visit the poppy fields in a specific order?
A: While the task lists them numerically, you can generally visit the fields in any order that suits your extraction path. However, following the sequence from north to south (or vice versa) is the most efficient way to manage your stamina and hydration.
Q: What should I do if the document is not appearing at the poppy field?
A: Ensure you are at the exact coordinates. Some fields have multiple buildings; the documents for the gray zone warfare harvest moon task are usually in the most central "processing" structure or the main porch of the farmhouse. If it still doesn't appear, try switching servers as the instance may be bugged.
Q: Are the poppy fields good for looting?
A: Yes. Many of the buildings at these coordinates contain weapon boxes and medical supplies. Two of the locations feature locked rooms that require specific keys, which often contain high-value items and rare weapon parts.
Q: How many AI enemies should I expect at each field?
A: On average, expect 5 to 10 AI guards per field. The third field (172 132) and the fourth field (149 117) tend to have the highest concentration of enemies, often carrying AK-series rifles with basic optics.
