gray zone warfare baked: Task Overview
The gray zone warfare baked task sends you to Tiger Bay Central to investigate a suspected drug-trade exchange. Banshee believes the evidence is hidden in an ordinary commercial location connected to the Tiger Bay operation. Your job is to locate the Suspicious Box, carry it safely out of the area, and report back to Banshee.
The task is associated with Banshee and can be approached by players from any faction. The central challenge is not a complicated interaction chain; it is reaching the correct shopping-center location, finding the concealed objective, and surviving the return trip with the quest item in your inventory.

| Task Detail | Information |
|---|---|
| Task name | Baked |
| Task giver | Banshee |
| Main location | Tiger Bay Central shopping center |
| Required objective | Retrieve evidence of the drug trade |
| Quest item | Suspicious Box |
| Faction availability | All factions |
| Return target | Banshee |
The briefing frames the investigation around a trading post in Tiger Bay. The suspected producers are connected to Ban Pa, while the evidence is believed to be stored somewhere accessible and inconspicuous inside the central shopping area.
Start with a clear inventory slot before entering Tiger Bay. The Suspicious Box requires 2x2 free space, so organizing your pack before the approach can prevent a failed pickup.
Baked Location and Landmark Route
The objective is inside or immediately connected to the commercial buildings at Tiger Bay Central. Reference descriptions identify the target through different storefront landmarks, including a bakery-style location and a PC World studio entrance. Treat the surrounding mall architecture, storefront signs, and rear-side doors as your navigation cues rather than relying on a single label.
One route places the approach on the outer side of the mall before moving toward the corner storefront. Another description places the entry near the northwestern or northeastern side of the mall and directs you toward a rear door. These descriptions point toward the same general Tiger Bay Central objective area but use different visual references.
| Navigation Stage | What to Look For | Recommended Action |
|---|---|---|
| Tiger Bay approach | Central shopping-center structures | Stay near cover and identify the mall exterior |
| Storefront search | Bakery or commercial studio signage | Check the outer edge and corner-facing businesses |
| Rear entrance | Door near the back of the business | Enter only after scanning nearby sightlines |
| Interior objective | Concealed box near a rear utility area | Search behind or beneath the listed interior fixture |
| Exit route | Previously cleared path | Retrace your route and avoid unnecessary fights |
The most useful route pattern is simple:
- Reach Tiger Bay Central without entering the mall blindly.
- Follow the outside wall until you identify the relevant storefront.
- Search for a rear-side entrance rather than wandering through the main retail space.
- Inspect the first accessible interior area and nearby utility fixtures.
- Pick up the Suspicious Box, then leave using the safest available route.
The exact visual layout can be easier to recognize from environmental details than from coordinates alone. The video reference places the approach around 198, 130 and highlights a supermarket sign outside the mall, followed by a PC World studio landmark and a rear entrance. The wiki route instead identifies Turkoglu Bakery and an objective under a sink in the back-left area. Because the references use different labels, check the live environment carefully and verify that the task objective is active before searching.
Exterior Signs
Use supermarket, mall, and storefront signs to confirm that you are in Tiger Bay Central.
Rear Access
Search for a back door instead of crossing the busiest part of the shopping center.
Utility Areas
Inspect sinks, counters, and concealed spaces near the rear of the business.
Safe Exit
Keep the pickup route in mind before interacting with the quest item.
The available route descriptions use different storefront names. If one label does not match your current layout, continue using the mall exterior, rear entrance, and utility-area clues instead of abandoning the search.
Step-by-Step Baked Walkthrough
Follow these steps to complete the investigation with fewer unnecessary detours. The task item can only be found while Baked is active, so confirm the quest status before traveling to Tiger Bay.
Accept Baked from Banshee
Open the task interface and verify that Baked is active under Banshee. Review the objective to retrieve evidence of the drug trade in Tiger Bay Central. Organize your inventory before deployment and reserve a 2x2 space for the Suspicious Box.
Reach Tiger Bay Central
Travel to the central shopping-center area in Tiger Bay. Approach from the outside edge when possible, using the mall structure and storefront signs to confirm your position. Avoid unnecessary movement through exposed streets.
Locate the Correct Storefront
Search for the bakery or commercial studio landmarks associated with the objective. Use the supermarket sign and rear-side PC World studio route as one visual reference, or identify Turkoglu Bakery along the mall’s outer side.
Enter Through the Rear Area
Move through the back entrance and inspect the nearby interior space. Check the rear-left section, utility fixtures, and the area beneath a sink. The objective is a Suspicious Box and requires enough open inventory space.
Extract and Report Back
Pick up the box, leave Tiger Bay by the safest available route, and return to base or the relevant hand-in location. Report back to Banshee to finish the task and receive the listed rewards.
| Step | Objective | Completion Check |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Activate the task | Baked appears as an active Banshee task |
| 2 | Enter Tiger Bay Central | Mall and storefront landmarks are visible |
| 3 | Find the target business | Bakery or studio route matches the objective area |
| 4 | Retrieve evidence | Suspicious Box is secured in a 2x2 inventory space |
| 5 | Return to Banshee | Task completion and rewards appear in the interface |
A cautious extraction is usually more valuable than a fast pickup. Once the box is in your pack, the task is not finished until you return to Banshee. Keep your route short, avoid optional searches, and preserve enough medical and combat resources for the trip back.
The objective is complete only after the Suspicious Box is returned to Banshee. Picking up the evidence alone does not finish the task.
Inventory, Combat, and Failure Management
Baked is an evidence-retrieval task, so the best loadout is one that supports movement, survival, and a reliable extraction rather than prolonged looting. Carry only what you need for the Tiger Bay run and leave sufficient space for the quest item.
The Suspicious Box has a specific inventory requirement. The item takes 2x2 free space, and the task item is only available while the quest is active. If your inventory is full or divided into smaller spaces, you may reach the objective without being able to secure it.
Before Entering Tiger Bay:
- Confirm that Baked is active with Banshee
- Reserve a clear 2x2 inventory space
- Identify a safe approach and extraction route
- Bring enough supplies for the return trip
- Avoid optional looting after securing the evidence
| Preparation Area | Recommended Standard | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Task status | Baked active | The Suspicious Box is quest-dependent |
| Inventory | One open 2x2 space | Required to pick up the objective |
| Route | Exterior approach and rear entrance | Reduces exposure inside the mall |
| Supplies | Medical and combat essentials | Supports the return after pickup |
| Looting | Keep optional searches limited | Lowers the chance of losing the evidence |
The listed failure penalty is -100 Reputation with Banshee. This makes task security important even though the objective itself is straightforward. Do not treat the area as a casual scavenging stop after collecting the box. If the route becomes dangerous, prioritize leaving Tiger Bay and completing the hand-in over additional loot.
The reward listing includes 2,000 XP, with 400 XP after first completion, +300 Reputation with Banshee, with +200 Reputation after first completion, and $1,880 USD. These values should be read as the task listing’s stated rewards and may be presented differently depending on completion status or interface context.
Failing the task can cost 100 Banshee Reputation. Secure the objective, avoid greedy detours, and plan the extraction before opening the container.
