Once you’ve completed the first four tasks that Handshake has to offer, he’ll give you the task Helping Hand. Handshake believes local criminal forces are getting some outside help, and sends you into the local town to gain proof of the situation. Here is where you need to go and how to complete the Helping Hand task in Gray Zone Warfare.
Where to get the intel in the restaurant
You can complete the Helping Hand task in Gray Zone Warfare by visiting the restaurant in the local town. Similar to the task Medical Detective, Helping Hand requires a key in order to enter the restaurant. You’ll want to start by killing enemies around the area and looting them until you get the Restaurant Storage Key for your town. When you are looting the key off an enemy, it will show up as your town’s initials and then Attic for some reason, but upon inspection, it will say Restaurant Storage Key. Here is where you can find the restaurant in each town and the key that is required for each faction:
- Mithras Security Systems – 170, 116 in Nam Thaven, requires NT Attic Key
- Crimson Shield International – 141, 164 in Kiu Vongsa, requires KV Attic Key
- Lamang Recovery Initiative – 203, 163 in Pha Lang, requires PL Attic Key
If you look at the coordinates on the town map for your faction, the building has a bright red roof. The screenshot at the top of this guide shows the restaurant from the outside, which is what you want to be on the lookout for. Once inside, head up the stairs and you will find a locked door leading to the attic. This is where you use the Restaurant Storage Key. Inside you will find a brownish Intelligence Folder item on a blue foldout chair, which is what you need for this task. Make sure you have one inventory slot open and loot the intel.
How to complete the Helping Hand task
With the intel in hand, head to the nearest LZ and extract back to base camp. Once there, hit the Tab key to open your UI and click the Vendors tab, then Handshake, then Tasks. Select the Helping Hand task and you should have the option to Hand over the intel you got from the restaurant by clicking the yellow button, which will then unlock the yellow Complete button which you can use to complete this task.
