Also known as: The Outlands, Outlands, The Forest

What They Know

Abandoned railroad infrastructure provides the primary route to White Forest
Combine Autoguns cover key bridges and chokepoints — they must be destroyed or bypassed
Vortigaunt cave systems lie beneath the forest floor, including antlion hive networks
The forest canopy blocks Combine aerial surveillance but not ground-level Hunter patrols
Pre-war rebel caches are hidden throughout — supplies left by resistance cells during the initial occupation
