Far Cry 6 has 10 Ambush Locations. Ambushes unlock Gun Powder, Supremo Bonds, and other weapon upgrade materials. They also grant 200 XP each and by leveling up you get access to better gear.
They are big crates guarded by enemies. Kill all the enemies around them and then collect the crate for the materials. They are very quick to do and one of the fastest ways to get rare upgrade materials, so knowing where they are comes in handy if you’re short on Gun Powder.
None of the Ambushes are missable. You can still do them after the story in free-roam. They get marked by red pistol icons when you go near them.

I found an Ambush called Codename: Ibis to the west of the Oasis Plains FND Tank Training Grounds in central Aguas Lindas in NE Madrugada.
