However, the Contractor is separated from them when Jianyu accosts the LeBlancs, and the Contractor is knocked unconscious by a mutant. Searching another bunker, the Contractor also comes across Tim and Eric LeBlanc, the son and father from The Forest, who were also hired by PuffCorp to search for the Pufftons. The Contractor also encounters Virginia Puffton, who became a mutant but somehow managed to retain her mind and sanity, and she joins the Contractor and Kelvin in their survival. The Contractor also finds surveillance footage showing Edward and PuffCorp executives suddenly mutating into cannibals during a dinner party, revealing the cannibals to be Site 2's previous inhabitants. PuffCorp acquired the island under the guise of turning it into a resort, and are in secret competition with the owners of Site 1, Sahara Therapeutics, over control of an artifact known as the "Cube". Like Site 1, Site 2 possesses ancient artifacts of unknown power, as well as a previously undiscovered golden ore. As the Contractor begins to explore the island, they find various underground bunkers and facilities built by PuffCorp and learns more about the true nature of Site 2 and PuffCorp's intentions for it. Working together, the Contractor and Kelvin set up camp and obtain resources to survive the wilderness as well as attacks from mutant cannibals. The Contractor then awakes with another surviving teammate named Kelvin who was rendered deaf in the crash. One of the contractors survives their helicopter crash but is knocked out by a man in a silver coat named Jianyu Zhang, who is an employee of PuffCorp. The team's helicopters are shot down by unknown assailants. Many years after the events of The Forest, a team of private military contractors hired by PuffCorp is dispatched to an island called "Site 2" to search for Edward Puffton (PuffCorp's founder and CEO), his wife Barbara, and his 20 year old daughter Virginia, who have been missing for several months. Depending on their actions, players can receive different endings. The game supports up to eight-player cooperative multiplayer, though players can also opt to play the game solo.
