Good to know
- Clearing it gives 5,000 XP.

How to approach it
This camp traps the roads in every direction, so watch for wires on the way in. Scout from cover with Survival Vision, then take quiet kills with the crossbow or a suppressed gun. If it goes loud, fall back to a doorway and let them come to you.
What's there
Crafting loot is spread through the camp, including three kerosene and three sterilizers. Killing everyone isn't enough: find the bunker hatch and read the map inside to clear the camp. The bunker then works as a fast travel point and a bed to sleep in.
Why bother
The Trust payout of 2,750 is large for Diamond Lake, and with Bare Bay it is the top XP reward among ambush camps.
