Whistler's Forest

Whistler's Forest on the Union City map, to the west of Pinedale (which is the light-grey area on the right).

Whistler's Forest is a location featured in The Last Stand: Union City. It can only be accessed after purchasing the Survival Kit, and along with the Stadium, has a danger level of 10 (the fifth highest in the game).

It is an area, as the name suggests, with a forest reserve and a few houses—the typical small town community.

Interactable Areas

The Road Out Town (Highway)

• You won't see any zombies, NPCs or houses, so just keep walking.

Highway (continuation)

• There are 4 NPCs, Paul and Jeb White (they are brothers), and Clarence and Fern Dillinger (they are married), that are standing next to a van. Jeb gives you a quest:

The Mechanic

Find:

• 3/3 Gallons of Gas (quest item, not the ammo type)
• 1/1 Socket Set
• 1/1 Fan Belt

Reward: $500

The items can be found in homes on the last two streets, but be careful when you complete the quest: talk to Jeb, but stay close to him, since he and his brother Paul will start shooting at you because they're actually bandits. They are armed with an Ambrose Shotgun and a Death Adder .45 respectively, so be quick. After killing the two, talk to Clarence and Fern and they'll thank the player for saving their lives because they were captured and held hostage by Paul and Jeb. You'll then receive the cash reward.

Reserve Entrance

You have been warned!

• Dirt road which contains the entrance to the Whistler's Forest Nature Reserve. If you want, you can venture into the forest now, but be forewarned that it is incredibly easy to become lost without proper directions. You can find a rusty fridge (contains a Sharpened Machete and Arrows), a bag containing ammo, a footlocker containing a M4A1 and some 5.56 mm ammo, five bodies with the Blood Samples needed for a quest, and the log cabin where Terry Granger lives.

7. To exit the forest, you'll have to follow the directions given in the map (link above), since there is no defined path for exiting. Just keep trying carefully; if you find yourself going in circles, you are doing something wrong.
