Complete Tap to Reveal and venture out into the Forbidden West. Keruf will be waiting for you at a camp - alongside another NPC named Larend - just west of the big cliff you drop down after leaving Barren Light.
Speak to him and Larend will end up asking Aloy for help gathering machine parts for some armor he's building. This is the game's first Salvage Contractor. Finish every single Contract in HFW and you'll complete Tap to Reveal and be rewarded with the Tap to Reveal.
