    • Navigate to the location marked on your map: the USS Monongah, an old naval ship that is now partially submerged.
    • If you have a travel point nearby, use it to save time; otherwise, head southeast from the Steel Yard until you reach the waterfront.

    • Once the Sentry Bots are active, they will help clear out various threats on board.
    • Move through the areas they are engaging, finishing off any remaining enemies as needed. Be sure to loot the defeated foes for any valuable items.

  • Locate the Captain’s Log

    • As you progress through the ship, your objective is to locate the Captain’s Log.
