What is Aid Request?

Aid Requests are different from standard orders — they don’t require you to accept or report them formally.

By completing them, you can increase your connection level with the facility, and sometimes receive special messages from SSS.

Note: There are no special rewards or trophies for completing all Aid Requests.

Conditions for Aid Request Availability

Aid Requests generally become available once you unlock each facility.
Some requests may only appear after completing other Aid Requests.

Types of Aid Requests

There are 3 main types of Aid Requests:

• Retrieval
  Requests to retrieve lost cargo found on the map and deliver it.
• Enemy Elimination
  Requests involving combat against enemies such as Bandits or Brigands, or battles against large BTs.
• Structure
  Requests to construct structures such as ladders or safe houses.

How to “Retrieval Requests”

Items to be retrieved (Retrieval Cargo) are often located in hard-to-reach places.
To make collecting distant cargo easier, it’s recommended to bring equipment like the Climbing Power Gloves and Sticky Cannon.

Also, cargo on the field is frequently found on cliffs or below cliffs, so carry plenty of Ladders and Climbing Anchor.

You can hand off cargo to other players at facilities other than the delivery destination, but this may cause cargo degradation. Whenever possible, deliver the cargo on foot yourself.

Some Retrieval cargo may be found in Enemy Camp or BT Area. In such cases, always bring weapons for protection.

How to “Enemy Elimination Requests”

Enemy Elimination Requests include exterminating Chiral Creatures, battling BTs such as Watchers and large BTs, as well as engaging in combat against human enemies like Bandits.

How to Fight Chiral Creatures

To eliminate Chiral Creatures, take advantage of their tendency to chase the player. When they pursue you, scatter Blood Grenades at your feet to easily dispatch them.

If you prefer to avoid being chased altogether, it’s recommended to equip the cosmetic “Chiral Rodent Hat”, which helps keep them at bay.

Note that Chiral Creatures may not always appear every time you visit a location. If they don’t show up, try returning on a different day to check again.

How to Fight Watchers and Large BTs

In the early game, you can defeat Watchers by hitting them with several Blood Grenades.

From mid-game onward, you can take them down from a distance using the Blood Boomerang, which you acquire in Chapter 4, so be sure to carry plenty of Blood Bags.

When fighting large BTs, bring powerful weapons like a Machine Gun or Grenade Launcher. If you have the resources, try using Ex Capture Grenades to capture large BTs instead of just defeating them.

How to Fight Against Human Enemies Like Bandits

Before heading into enemy outposts like those controlled by Bandits, use the Watchtower to scout enemy numbers and locate Retrieval cargo.

For combat against human enemies, you can choose between stealth tactics—such as sneaking up from behind to use Strand restraints or silent weapons—or go in guns blazing, using vehicles equipped with machine guns to suppress foes. Pick the strategy that suits your playstyle.

Combat at Bandit outposts often comes paired with Retrieval missions. Be careful not to accidentally damage or destroy the cargo you need to retrieve, as this can lower your mission rating. Watch out for things like grenade blast radius or accidentally running over cargo with vehicles.

How to “Structure Requests”

“Structure Requests” require you to place buildings like safe houses or smaller items like ladders.
Make sure to bring the necessary construction devices and ladders to the installation site.

For buildings such as safe houses and bridges, you don’t need to use PCC; just bring the required building materials. You can check the number of materials needed by looking at the foundation of existing structures on the map.

You can delete placed structures immediately without any issues, so if you’re running low on chiral bandwidth, feel free to remove them. Note that the foundations of safe houses and bridges are not placed by the player, so they do not consume chiral bandwidth—just use them as they are.

Afterword

I have completed all Aid Requests, but there were no special completion rewards. So, if you want to raise connection levels, it’s best to do these requests alongside your regular facility orders.
