Where to find the entry points

You can complete The Shadow Over Ban Pa task for Handshake by heading to the city of Ban Pa in the east and visiting both entry points into the village. Accepting this task will actually give you the new India 1 Landing Zone just northeast of Ban Pa. You’ll want to take the chopper over to the India 1 LZ in order to complete this task.

From here on out, most tasks in Gray Zone Warfare share the same locations for all three factions, unlike previous tasks that had different locations for each faction, usually around the starter towns. This means it will start becoming common for you to encounter other players from the other two factions while you are completing tasks, as they are headed to the same locations. At this point, PvP will be more common when completing tasks in Gray Zone Warfare.

Once you reach the India 1 LZ, you want to head southeast towards the town of Ban Pa which is where you can find the Main Northern Entry Point and Main Southern Entry Point as is required for The Shadow Over Ban Pa task. Both locations are simple wooden arches that you must walk under in order to complete the task, as shown in the screenshot at the top of this guide. Keep in mind the Ban Pa area is inhabited with enemies, both player and computer.

Here is where you can find both entry points to complete The Shadow Over Ban Pa:

  • Main Northern Entry Point: 205, 138 in the town of Ban Pa
  • Main Southern Entry Point: 204, 136 in the town of Ban Pa

You can also use the above map to see exactly where you need to go.

After you walk through each entry point in Ban Pa, the objective will finish and you will complete The Shadow Over Ban Pa. Head back to the LZ and take a chopper to base camp and hit the Tab key to open your UI and speak to the vendor Handshake. In the bottom right corner of the screen, you should have a yellow button labeled Complete which will finish this task. For completing The Shadow Over Ban Pa, Handshake will give you the following rewards:

  • 2x Recon Tactical Rigs
  • $4,700
  • 1,000 Experience
  • 150 Reputation with Handshake
