Meanwhile, a helicopter has slowly been circling the map (thanks, Seawod on reddit). Most recently it's ended up at Loot Lake, suggesting a point of interest in that area. This then resulted in a vault of sources appearing in the middle of Loot Lake (thanks to FlaminGummy on reddit for discovering this first). Could this be related to the arrival of Ruin in the game's story? The vault at Loot Lake.
