Ambush Camps are places overrun by bandits. You must eliminate all the enemies in the area and then find the entrance to the underground bunker, open it, climb down the ladder to the bottom and examine the map you find there. When you do so, some points of interest such as historical markers will be marked on your map. You may also receive a recipe that will teach you how to craft a certain item.

Anarchist Cairns

NERO Checkpoint MMUs contain NERO Injectors used to improve your Health, Stamina, or Focus. Once cleared, a Checkpoint becomes a Fast Travel Waypoint. You'll also find a piece of NERO Intel at each of these locations and the corpse of a NERO member nearby, containing another piece of IPCA Tech.

NERO Intel

NERO Intel is one type of collectible item available in Days Gone. These are generally various audio recordings left by NERO scientists, but sometimes they can be text notes. Some of them you get automatically as you progress through the game's storyline, and others you can find mostly at NERO Checkpoints or NERO Research Sites. A few of them are also left in other places.

NERO Research Sites

NERO Research Sites are are places where you will find NERO Injectors and NERO Intel pieces. These are generally located in places where you will have to accelerate and jump on your bike to get to. So you will have to upgrade it properly, for example by installing nitro.
