To complete Guns and Ammo in Gray Zone Warfare, follow Gunny's investigation at Hunter's Paradise: inspect the truck, scout the marked areas, investigate the locked storage, then retrieve the note and folder. If you're stuck on the intel, check the roadside guard booth and the motel's outdoor tables.

This guide covers the expanded 0.4 task. Research checked September 8, 2026; the route below draws on published walkthroughs and player reports, not an independent live-server test. Match each step to your active objective before moving.

🎯 What is the Guns and Ammo quest objective?

Guns and Ammo is an investigation task for Gunny. The 0.4 task map lists the truck, dumping ground, motel, rest point, locked-door findings, Grumbling Note, and Nam's Folder.

The task name can send you toward general weapon guides. Here, your goal is to investigate a missing shipment and deliver intel, rather than choose a rifle or buy ammunition.

Older guides often stop after entering storage. That leaves out the later investigation. MADFINGER's 0.4 progression announcement confirms that the task system was redesigned, including new interactions and updated objectives.

🔑 What are the task prerequisites?

Check that Guns and Ammo is available in your task panel or tactical map, then read Gunny's instructions. Don't assume a prerequisite chain from a launch-era mission tutorial still applies.

Public guides disagree on the trigger. TheGamesWatch describes discovery at the truck, while Tac Map doesn't label this a hidden exploration task. Neither establishes a universal current rank requirement. Your task panel is the best check before committing to the trip.

If the mission isn't available, review your active regional tasks and vendor messages. The official 0.4 system ties regional task access to progression. Finding a familiar building alone doesn't prove that your character can complete its objective.

🗺️ Where is the Guns and Ammo task location?

The investigation takes place around Hunter's Paradise. Treat the truck approach, scouting areas, storage building, and motel frontage as separate stops.

Use the active search area to orient yourself. Then narrow the search with landmarks. The ArmadaBoost Lamang map guide explains how POIs and landing zones fit into wider route planning.

This walkthrough avoids presenting old grid coordinates as verified current positions. Published descriptions also differ around the storage building. Follow the marked objective and compare the doorway before spending time at the wrong lock.

🔍 How do you complete the investigation steps?

Inspect the truck and check the next objective

Start with the abandoned military truck on the approach to the compound. TheGamesWatch's April 2026 walkthrough describes inspecting its rear and reporting the findings.

Look for the interaction prompt. After using it, reopen the task panel to see whether the scouting objectives have appeared. Don't leave on the strength of a map marker alone.

Scout the three marked areas

Check the dumping ground, motel, and campsite or rest-point area shown for your task. Tac Map labels that last location “Rest Point,” while walkthroughs call it a campsite.

Move through each active area and check its individual status. Scouting and collecting intel are different actions. A cleared scouting marker doesn't tell you that you've picked up a later item.

Investigate the storage after opening the door

Locate the locked objective near the shooting range. Once you have access, search for the findings interaction rather than treating an open door as completion.

The April walkthrough describes inspecting a container inside. Read the resulting objective before moving to the motel. If your panel still asks you to investigate, return to the interaction instead of starting another key search.

🎒 Which key and intel items do you need?

Finding the Paradise Weapon Storage Key

The Paradise Weapon Storage Key is the access item associated with the locked room. A reported search spot is the office near the firing range: check the shelf beside a gray binder.

That is a reported spawn location, not a guaranteed pickup. Don't confuse an empty shelf with a confirmed bug. Check the key's name against the door and your active objective before searching elsewhere.

Avoid treating older advice to farm enemies indefinitely as a requirement. A missing key and a missed investigation interaction are different problems.

Finding the Grumbling Note

Players in the updated Gunny quest discussion place the note inside the small security building on the main road, northwest of the motel.

Search the guard booth's interior and check the item label. The office where you searched for the key is a different stop. Repeating that office search won't help if your remaining objective names the note.

Finding Nam's Folder

The same player report places Nam's Folder on a white circular table outside a motel room, described as the second room from the right.

Use the outdoor table as the stronger landmark. “From the right” depends on which way you're facing. Sweep the motel frontage and read the pickup label before moving on.

An independent Steam discussion from April 27 also directs players to the motel and nearby guard booth. These reports corroborate the broad locations, but they don't guarantee an unchanged spawn in every later build.

💰 How do turn-in and rewards work?

Check both retrieval objectives, then follow the handover instructions in Gunny's task panel. Keep the intel until the game confirms its delivery. Don't sell or discard an item merely because you've visited its location.

The available reports don't establish a universal extraction requirement for the current build. Use any available handover control as instructed. If the panel requires a return to base, plan your extraction with both items secured.

Published reward figures for this task disagree with each other and none trace to a current live-server source, so we are not quoting one. Your task panel shows the real payout before you hand in, and that is the number to trust, especially if you're repeating the mission.

For squad play, have every player check their own objective status. This guide hasn't verified which interactions or item handovers currently share credit. Before leaving an area, confirm that nobody is still missing a step.

⚠️ Why is the objective not updating?

First, identify what the panel actually asks you to do. Use this checklist before assuming the quest is bugged:

• Still scouting: check each marked subobjective separately. Being near the motel doesn't complete every scouting location.
• Still investigating: look for the findings interaction inside storage. Opening the door may leave that action unfinished.
• Missing the note: search the roadside security booth, not just the range office.
• Missing the folder: check the outdoor motel tables and confirm the item's name.
• Unable to pick up intel: check available inventory space and any on-screen warning.
• Unable to complete: compare the task details with the map marker and record which control is inactive.

Official 0.4.6.0 and 0.4.7.0 patch notes document fixes for an inactive Complete button and incorrectly completed task markers. They don't prove that every similar problem today has the same cause.

If the objective still won't register, record your build number, task text, location, and a screenshot for support. Don't wipe your character to troubleshoot a single missing interaction.

🧭 How should you plan the task route?

Plan around the active stage, not a full loot sweep. Before deploying, check the task text, carry medical supplies and food, and leave room for intel. Choose a gun you're comfortable using and bring compatible ammunition.

At each stop, confirm progress before leaving cover. If hostile NPCs are active, assess the approach before opening your inventory or reading a long message. Standing in the road makes a simple pickup harder than it needs to be.

A useful personal checkpoint is to record the last completed stage: truck, scouting, storage, or intel. If your session ends, that note tells you where to resume. It also keeps a squad from repeating an area one player has already finished.

Once you've collected the required items, weigh any extra loot against your remaining supplies. A detour can turn a short handover trip into another fight.

🔫 Which weapon and ammo advice applies to this guide?

This quest doesn't call for a particular build in the sources reviewed. Select equipment for the encounters you expect and what you can afford to replace. Keep detailed caliber comparisons separate from this task walkthrough.

If you use video guides, check their upload date and compare the visible objective with yours. A YouTube clip that ends immediately after storage entry may describe an earlier version. The note-and-folder stage is the detail to check before following its route.

🚀 Need help with the remaining task?

Tell ArmadaBoost support which Guns and Ammo objective is still active before choosing GZW quest assistance. Ask about current availability, the delivery method, and whether you can remain on your own account. Review the game's rules before ordering; no service should be treated as risk-free.
