Handshake has another task for you to complete in Gray Zone Warfare, and this one is called Helping Hand. Your task is to head into the nearest town and attempt to locate sensitive material hidden inside a restaurant.

Like the previous missions in Gray Zone Warfare, you have little intel on where you need to go and how you can track it down. Not only do you need to find the restaurant, but you also need to locate a specific item to unlock the door on the top floor. Without that item, you won’t be able to complete this quest, and you’ll be stuck, unable to upgrade Handshake’s vendor.

Completing this task requires a key, but that key doesn’t have a set drop point, similar to the Medical Detective quest. All keys in Gray Zone Warfare have a chance to drop off of NPCs. The exact key you’re looking for should say “Attic” in the name, and if you inspect the item, it should read “Restaurant Storage Key.” The first part of the key name will vary based on the city closest to your Base Camp. You might find it while attempting to find the body close to the town hall during the No Man Left Behind quest.

If you’re part of the Lamang Recovery Initiative and you’re completing tasks in Pha Lang, the restaurant is located in the northeast part of town, at map coordinates (203, 163).

The exterior will have several banners outside of it, as well as what’s left of a little outdoor patio area. These banners will be underneath a sign, with another set of multi-colored banners on the right side of the building. You’ll also find a dining area and a kitchen inside. The restaurant is across the street from the Motel landmark.

It’s a two-story building, and you can find your primary goal behind a locked door on the second level. With the locker door open, it’s time to grab the Intelligence Folder. You should be able to find this item sitting on a chair inside the room. After you grab it, you can return to Base Camp and turn in the quest for Handshake, increasing your reputation and earning some well-earned experience points in Gray Zone Warfare.
