Aside from the main missions, tombs, and crypts, Shadow of the Tomb Raider also offers several side quests. One of these is the Deal with the Pillagers mission.
Deal with the Pillagers
How to unlock: Speak to a man in Kuwaq Yaku’s city center.
Reward: River Hawk weapon.
The mission starts in the location marked on the map, where you will meet a man. Subsequent points of interest will be indicated on the map.
To begin the Deal with the Pillagers side quest, talk to a man in Kuwaq Yaku’s city center. He will ask you to speak with Omar and Marco.
Marco will then send you to search for his son. To do so, you must go to the edge of the city and crawl under the trees to proceed to the next part.
Inside the cave, you will find Marco’s son and have to defeat his captors. It is best to approach the enemies slowly and quietly take them out with your axe or bow.
Using weapons will attract the enemies towards you, and since each of them has a weapon, they can quickly overpower you.
After defeating all enemies, return to Marco to receive the River Hawk weapon. This pistol deals high damage. Replace your old equipment with the new one, upgrade it, and enjoy the benefits of a good weapon.
