Part 1 Dialogue

We’ve got working oil pumps, but the yield will never be what we need if we don’t know where the best wells are. Thankfully we have plans for a new Scanner mod, able to pinpoint any nearby concentrations of nanites. Get us these items and we’ll get one made as soon as we can.

Objectives

• Deliver 10 Radio Equipment
• Deliver 15 Copper Wire
• Deliver 5 Pure Veltecite

Rewards

Guide

• Radio Equipment can be found in industrial areas, Bins, Cabinets, and static spawns across the map. Common spot for these is the Comms Tower on Bright Sands, and the Starport Warehouse on Crescent Falls.
• Copper Wires can be found in Dumpsters and as static spawns laying on the ground. A common spot for farming these is at the Science Campus on Bright Sands, as that’s a big industrial area.
• Pure Veltecite can be mined from Veltecite Veins that can be found around waterfalls or water in general. Modded Mineral Scanner can help you find the nodes easier.

Part 2 Dialogue

Excellent, but you’re not done yet. These are the last components we need, I promise.

Objectives

• Deliver 10 Circuit Boards
• Deliver 5 Miniature Reactors
• Deliver 5 Interactive Screens

Rewards

Guide

• • Circuit Boards can be found in Briefcases, Luggage, and as a static spawn across technologically advanced rooms and areas (racks, decks next to PCs, chairs, etc.). Check Comms Tower on Bright Sands.
  • Interactive Screens can be found in technologically advanced areas, such as the Comms Tower on Bright Sands, Staport Admin and Starport Warehouse on Crescent Falls.
  • Miniature Reactors can be easily found in Storage Boxes (). The best way to get these is by doing the Puzzles (power conduits), as the rooms have a guaranteed Storage Box. There’s one at the Water Facility on and East Collection Site on Bright Sands. There’s also one at the Skeleton Observation Site on Crescent Falls. Basically said, whenever you need this item and you see a Puzzle in some POI, then just try to figure it out. It guarantees a Miniature Reactor inside the Storage Box in the room. Check the image below to see what the puzzles look like:

Part 1 Dialogue

I’ve been sitting on a fairly ‘particular’ commission from an out of system arms company for some time, but I think you’re up to the task. They want ‘real world’ data on the efficacy of pistols used against other armed opponents. Fortuna III’s peculiar legal status and the use of emergency foam kits makes it a perfect testing ground, you see.

Objectives

• Stash 10 Polymetallic Prefabricates
• Stash 6 Resin Guns
• Stash 6 Magnetic Field Stabilizers

Rewards

Guide

This is another DEAD DROP quest, so make sure you bring these items with you and stash them at the Office Dead Drop at Nutrition Farms.

Check the image below for the exact location of The Office Dead Drop at Nutrition Farms.

• Polymetallic Prefabricates can be found as a static spawn Science Campus, North Uplink, South East Uplink, Vaccine Lab, and Waterfall Lab.
• Resin Guns‘ most common spawn is in Coolers and Civilian Lockers, but can also be found as a static spawn.
• Magnetic Field Stabilizers can be found in Dumpsters, but can also spawn as a static spawn in some Industrial sites and Construction areas.

Part 2 Dialogue

While our people look into the ‘crude’ samples, there might be something we can search for in the surface networks about it; you’ll need to check Uplink stations on Crescent Falls, then we can see if there’s anything there about that makes sense out of this.

Objectives

• Visit the Starport Landing Pad Uplink on Crescent Falls
• Deliver 3 Unique Data Drives

Rewards

Guide

• The first part asks you to visit Starport Landing Pad Uplink on Crescent Falls, which is a POI on the hard map. The quest doesn’t force you to upgrade your Data Drives on Crescent Falls at all, you can do it on Bright Sands too.
• Data Drives can be purchased from the ICA in their common variant, but also found at the Comms Base, and then slotted and upgraded at an in-raid uplink terminal. Each upgrade brings it to a higher-quality variant. Once the station finishes with the download, the Data Drive is upgraded one variant higher. This step is repeatable, and the Data Drives can be upgraded to their highest legendary variants. In this case, make sure you stop at the “Unique” (Legendary) variant. These sorts of stations can be found at the Comms Base, South-East Uplink, and North Uplink, as well as in some places on Crescent Falls. The Upgrade stations or Terminals look like this:

Part 3 Dialogue

This stuff is actual crude oil… mixed with billions upon billions of dead nanobots. It must have been used by the Progenitors to help terraform the planet! My predecessors from before the storms set up some pumps to collect the stuff; head to them and retrieve what you can.

Objectives

• Find the Abandoned Oil Field
• Hunt 5 Creatures in the Oil Field
• Deliver 5 Old Oil Pump Parts

Rewards

Guide

• The Abandoned Oil Field is located southwest of Pinnacle Labs. Once you get there you will notice the rusty oil pumps.
• Kill 5 Creatures, there are plenty of them around the area.
• Old Oil Pump Parts spawn right beside them. Check the image below for better clarification.

Part 4 Dialogue

We finally know that ‘NiC’ stands for Nanite-infused Crude. Someone figured out a way to trigger a reaction in the nanobots’ own batteries and get a small burst of energy from them; not much, but with billions of bots in a liter of NiC, it could be the answer to our energy troubles. Now, we just need to build some pumps! Get us these materials so we can fix up a first batch.

Objectives

• Deliver 20 Alloys
• Deliver 15 Hydraulic Pistons
• Deliver 5 Shock Absorbers

Rewards

Guide

• Alloys can be found in Dumpsters and Industrial crates, including as a static spawn in industrial areas.
• Hydraulic Pistons can be found in Industrial Crates, but also as a random static spawn in industrial areas.
• Shock Absorber has an epic rarity and it’s a rare spawn. It can spawn in industrial areas, but it can also spawn in containers. A good starting spot for searching these is the Science Campus on Bright Sands. They can spawn as a static spawn too.

Part 5 Dialogue

While we work on building those pumps, a request from a local artist has come in for hardened Bone Plates; they apparently make for a good crafting material. Kill some Marauders and complete the order for us, please.

Objectives

• Hunt 10 Marauders
• Deliver 7 Hardened Bone Plates

Rewards

Guide

• Hardened Bone Plates are dropped from dead Marauders (Jeffs). Well, this quest instructs you to eliminate them, so that’s where you’re going to get your Hardened Bone Plates.

Part 6 Dialogue

Getting these pumps to work isn’t as simple as we’d hoped. The pumps need to refine the NiC to eliminate as much crude as possible and concentrate the nanites in one convenient package ready for use, and that process some higher tech components than a simple pump. Here’s what we need for now.

Objectives

• Deliver 15 Circuit Boards
• Deliver 10 Shard Slicers
• Deliver 3 Master Unit CPUs

Rewards

Guide

• Circuit Boards can be found in Briefcases, Luggage, and as a static spawn across technologically advanced rooms and areas (racks, decks next to PCs, chairs, etc.).
• Shard Slicers can be found in Civilian Lockers if we go by the book. But, let’s be honest. In this game, the loot delivery is weird. Sometimes you can find items in the weirdest and least common places on the map. So I’d advise you to keep your eyes peeled and take it slow when looting. The racks in Starpoint Warehouse on Crescent Falls is one of the common spots to check for this item. It’s also one of the hardest to get.
• Master Unit CPUs is an item with epic rarity, which means it’s tough to find. It can spawn in Briefcases and Jackets, and as a Static Loot. Some of the common locations to check for this item are the Jungle Camp and Crashed Ship on Bright Sands and Starport Admin and Starport Warehouse on Crescent Falls. It can spawn in Pinnacle Labs too.

Part 7 Dialogue

That Dr. Sullivan is starting to poke around and ask questions, he likes to think Osiris are the only ones that can do any research around here. But if he’s curious, then so is that Korolev snake. Head to the surface and perform some ‘live’ tests with ICA guns, and I’ll spread scuttlebutt that we’re working on new weapon improvements.

Objectives

• Eliminate 8 Prospectors using an ICA weapon

Rewards

Guide

The quest is pretty straightforward. It asks you to eliminate 8 enemy players using an ICA weapon. Eligible weapons for this quest are:

• Bulldog
• ICA Guarantee
• Lacerator
• Shattergun
• Advocate
• Voltaic Brute
• Kinetic Arbiter

Part 8 Dialogue

You’re back just in time; the tech guys have a new list of things they need to finalize NiC refiner and install them in the pumps. After that it will just be a matter of calling them down in the right spot…

Objectives

• Deliver 8 Miniature Reactors
• Deliver 8 Smart Mesh
• Deliver 2 Gyroscopes

Rewards

Guide

• Miniature Reactors can be easily found in Storage Boxes (). The best way to get these is by doing the Puzzles (power conduits), as the rooms have a guaranteed Storage Box. There’s one at the Water Facility on and East Collection Site on Bright Sands. There’s also one at the Skeleton Observation Site on Crescent Falls. Basically said, whenever you need this item and you see a Puzzle in some POI, then just try to figure it out. It guarantees a Miniature Reactor inside the Storage Box in the room. Check the image below to see how the puzzles look like:

• Smart Mesh is a rare spawn and can be located in higher danger zones. Starport Warehouse on Crescent Falls is one of them (on the racks), but Bright Sands also has it, in the Jungle and the Crashed Ship. Can also be found in Industrial Crates and Dumpsters, but also as a static spawn in some industrial areas.
• Gyroscopes can be found in Cabinets. They can spawn inside the Crashed Ship.

Part 1 Dialogue

Finally! Our first Laser Drill is fully operational, and you get to test it! Locate a Letium vent, plant a beacon, and operate the platform. Return to me once you have our prize!

Objectives

• Find a Letium Gas Vent
• Deliver 10 Flaked Letium

Rewards

Guide

• Flaked Letium can be gathered only from Letium Gas Vent, which requires a Laser Drill Beacon for its drilling activation.

Ok, so now that we have the Laser Drill Beacon from the previous quest and have also unlocked the crafting of the same, we can drill the big Letium Gas Vents. Maybe you have already met these Green Gas Vents. They can only be farmed by using a Laser Drill Beacon. After their activation, a Big Drill Ship will land on top of the Letium Gas Vent. After its landing, you need to go inside, head on the top floor and start the mining process from the console. After the drilling is finished, collect the farmed materials from the bins. Check the image below.

After you call down the laser drill, hop inside, activate the drill from the console, and wait for it to finish. Then, collect the loot from the bins. There are multiple of them on the ship. That’s the only way you get 10 Flaked Letium. Check the image below so you know how they look.

Part 1 Dialogue

Extracting Letium from the surface will require heavy machinery. Heavy, durable, machinery, like the old Veltecite Laser Drills. Get us these materials, Prospector, and we can begin crafting a good frame for our new drilling platform.

Objectives

• Deliver 20 Compound Sheets
• Deliver 15 Alloys
• Deliver 5 Smart Mesh

Rewards

Guide

• Compound sheets can be found in industrial crates, civilian lockers but also as a static spawn across the whole map.
• Alloys can be found in Dumpsters and Industrial crates, but also as a static spawn in industrial areas.
• Smart Mesh is a rare spawn and can be located in higher danger zones. Starport Warehouse on Crescent Falls is one of them (on the racks), but Bright Sands also has it, in the Jungle and the Crashed Ship. Can also be found in Industrial Crates and Dumpsters, but also as a static spawn in some industrial areas.

Part 2 Dialogue

There’s no point in reinventing the wheel! Head out to the crashed Laser Drill on Bright Sands, there should still be some tech we can salvage to use for our prototype drill, it would save us a lot of time… and money.

Objectives

• Visit the Crashed Drill
• Find the Old Drill Head
• Deliver 1 Laser Drill Control Unit

Rewards

Guide

This whole quest is related to and happens on Bright Sands. The Crashed Drill, Old Drill Head, and Laser Drill Control Unit are located at the Crashed Drill Site. For a better explanation, check the image below:

• Multitools are quite tough to find, and they can spawn more frequently in crowded higher danger areas. You can find them around the Dig Site and the Crashed Ship on Bright Sands, and on racks inside the Starport Warehouse on Crescent Falls.

Part 5 Dialogue

“Our osiris friend” is expecting another payment to continue their services. See that they get what they want.

Objectives

• Stash 3 Pure Focus Crystals at Pinnacle Labs
• Stash 1 Pure Veltecite at Pinnacle Labs
• Hunt 8 Creatures at Pinnacle Labs on Crescent Falls

Rewards

Guide

This is another Dead Drop mission and you need to bring those items with you if you have no intentions of finding them in the same raid. The quest happens at the same location, which is Pinnacle Labs on Crescent Falls. Below you can find the Dead Drop location.

• Pure Focus Crystals can be mined from Focus Veins. The Veins have blue/green sparkles and are easy to distinguish. The color of the Pure Focus Crystals is green and their spawn is quite rarer than the normal Focus Crystals.
• Pure Veltecite can be mined from Veltecite Veins that can be found around waterfalls or water in general. Modded Mineral Scanner can help you find the nodes easier.
• Then just hunt 15 Creatures at Pinnacle Labs.

  • Veltecite Hearts are mined from Veltecite Veins, and their drop chance is super rare. Good luck getting some.
  • Old Currency can mostly be found in Jackets, Briefcases and Safes.

Part 8 Dialogue

We have to hold on our efforts, Osiris suspects we’re to blame for one of their top people suddenly quitting. I imagine they’ll ease off if they see your efforts on the planet are purely unscientific.

Objectives

• Eliminate 10 Prospectors

Rewards

Guide

• The quest is pretty straightforward, and it requires you to eliminate 10 enemy players using any weapon.

Part 9 Dialogue

The Laser Drill needs something with more kick than even Veltecite. Get us some Meteor Cores, that should be enough for our first drill!

Objectives

• Deliver 2 Meteor Cores

Rewards

Guide

• You need to deliver 2 Meteor Cores, available from Meteor Showers, an event that occurs once every day/night cycle. The Cores can be mined from the big Meteors, which is one per shower. More info on that can be found below:

Part 1 Dialogue

One of our researchers is concerned that Crushers are an unstoppable force that could easily wreck our mining platforms. I’m sure you can prove them wrong!

Objectives

• Hunt 1 Crushers

Rewards

Guide

• Simple, go to Crescent Falls and eliminate 1 Crusher. They are quite tough, so make sure you bring a perfectly kitted weapon with you. Below you can find some of the Crusher’s locations on Crescent Falls.

Part 1 Dialogue

Don’t spread this around, but the freighter bringing fresh supplies for the station isn’t just running late, it’s missing. Our inventory on several items is already low and getting worse by the day. Thankfully the planet has all we need… it’s just ‘a bit’ hard to get to. Here’s a list of what we need the most.

Objectives

• Deliver 10 Textiles
• Deliver 5 Shard Slicers
• Deliver 5 Miniature Reactors

Rewards

Guide

• Textiles are painful to find. They can spawn in containers in POIs such as Vaccine Labs, Swamp Camp, Comms Tower, South West Collection Point, and the Jungle Camp on Bright Sands. They can also be found as a static spawn.
• Shard Slicers can be found in Civilian Lockers if we go by the book. But, let’s be honest. In this game, the loot delivery is weird. Sometimes you can find items in the weirdest and least common places on the map. So I’d advise you to keep your eyes peeled and take it slow when looting.

Check the images below for some of the Puzzle locations:

Part 2 Dialogue

I’ve been stumped trying to find a birthday gift for one of ICA’s oldest members, but I think I’ve finally got it. This woman holds a real grudge against rattlers, says no matter she went in the final evac days, they were there hounding her. Head to these locations and take some out, I’m sure she’ll love the footage.

Objectives

• Hunt 5 Rattlers at Woodcutter Camp
• Hunt 5 Rattlers at Water Facility
• Hunt 5 Rattlers at Power Plant

Rewards

Guide

• The quest is straightforward. Hunt 5 Rattlers at each of these three locations on Bright Sands. You can find the places marked in the image below.

Part 3 Dialogue

I appreciate you doing that for me… but I have one more thing to ask. If you could get me some rattler skins and bone plates, it’ll make the presentation of my gift so much better. Thank you!

Objectives

• Deliver 10 Rattler Skins
• Deliver 5 Hardened Bone Plates

Rewards

Guide

• Rattler Skins can be looted from dead Rattlers.
• Hardened Bone Plates can be obtained from dead Marauders. They are both available on Bright Sands and Crescent Falls. Eliminating them is quite hard, so make sure you bring high stopping power with you.

Part 1 Dialogue

Our researchers on the station have been analyzing the data you retrieved, and have requested a few items to speed things up. I suggest checking old Osiris labs, I’m sure they won’t mind.

Objectives

• Deliver 8 Optic Glass
• Deliver 5 Rattler Skins
• Deliver 1 Portable Lab

Rewards

Guide

• Optic Glass can be found in Cabinets, but also as a spawn around some POIs.
• Rattler Skins can be looted from dead Rattlers.
• The last part is to find and deliver Portable Lab. Portable Lab can be found in Briefcases and in Medical Areas. I also believe it has a chance to spawn in Cabinets, so make sure you loot them. Reasonably, it should have a slightly higher spawn rate on Crescent Falls. But can also be found in the north area on Bright Sands, such as the Crashed Ship. Sometimes you’ll even find it laying on the ground.

Part 2 Dialogue

It seems some creatures have higher concentrations of Letium than others… My people want some very specific samples now: head to the abandoned Dig Site mine in bright sands and hunt down what you can.

Objectives

• Visit Dig Site on Bright Sands
• Hunt 15 Creatures at the Dig Site on Bright Sands
• Deliver 20 Spinal Bases

Rewards

Guide

• The quest asks you to visit the Dig Site and eliminate 15 creatures of any type in that same area.
• Spinal Bases can be found from dead Striders, so make sure you loot them upon elimination. You can also try to gather them in one place and kill them when the storm comes, as it increases the chance of a drop.

Objectives

• Deliver 5 Hardened Bone Plates
• Deliver 8 Toxic Glands

Rewards

Guide

• • Hardened Bone Plates can be obtained from dead Marauders. They are both available on Bright Sands and Crescent Falls. Eliminating them is quite hard, so make sure you bring high stopping power with you.
  • Toxic Glands can be found from dead Blast Ticks and Acid Ticks, both Red and Green, usually found in rivers and places around the swamp area. Keep in mind that they can spawn across rivers. To check for their spawns check the image below:

Part 8 Dialogue

We’ve narrowed down the process that allows these creatures to absorb and stabilize Letium. Get us more samples, we’re close to a breakthrough.

Part 9 Dialogue

Our research is nearly complete! Now we just need to use the Uplink facilities on Crescent Falls; we should be able to use recent surface scans of the area to locate Letium vents.

Objectives

• Visit the Starport Landing Pad Uplink on Crescent Falls
• Visit the Skeleton Observation Uplink on Crescent Falls
• Deliver 3 Unique Data Drives

Rewards

Guide

• Starport Landing Pad Uplink and Skeleton Observation Uplink locations:

• Data Drives can be purchased from the ICA in their common variant, but also found at the Comms Base, and then slotted and upgraded at an in-raid uplink terminal. Each upgrade brings it to a higher-quality variant. Once the station finishes with the download, the Data Drive is upgraded one variant higher. This step is repeatable, and the Data Drives can be upgraded to their highest legendary variants. In this case, make sure you stop at the “Unique” (Legendary) variant. These sorts of stations can be found at the Comms Base, South-East Uplink, and North Uplink, as well as in some places on Crescent Falls. The Upgrade stations or Terminals look like this:

The Data Drive upgrade operation can be performed on any station, even on Bright Sands. However, visiting the two places on Crescent Falls is mandatory.

Part 1 Dialogue

It’s time to start testing our new anti-crystal laser, but first, it needs a power source. Retreive Veltecite for me, Prospector, nothing else will do.

Objectives

• Deliver 5 Pure Veltecite
• Deliver 10 Clear Veltecite

Rewards

Guide

• Pure Veltecite can be mined from Veltecite Veins that can be found around waterfalls or water in general. Modded Mineral Scanner can help you find the nodes easier.
• Clear Veltecite can be mined from Veltecite Veins that can be found around waterfalls or water in general. Modded Mineral Scanner can help you find the nodes easier.

Part 2 Dialogue

Yes, this should be sufficient. Focus Crystals have an internal structure similar to that of the cavern walls; retrieve a few samples for us, and some extra lab kit while you’re at it.

Objectives

• Deliver 2 Portable Lab
• Deliver 5 Focus Crystals
• Deliver 8 Sample Containers

Rewards

Guide

• Portable Lab can be found in Briefcases and in Medical Areas. I also believe it has a chance to spawn in Cabinets, so make sure you loot them. Reasonably, it should have a slightly higher spawn rate on Crescent Falls. But can also be found in the north area on Bright Sands, such as the Crashed Ship. Sometimes you’ll even find it laying on the ground.
• Sample Containers can be found in Coolers and Civilian Lockers. They can also be noticed as a static spawn in Medical Areas such as the Waterfall Lab.
• Focus Crystals can be mined from Focus Veins. The Veins have blue/green sparkles and are easy to distinguish. The color of the Focus Crystals is blue and they are considered to be one of the rarest minerals in the game.The quest might sound simple, but these minerals are located in hellish places on both of the maps. They are the most expensive minerals in the game. While Bright Sands does provide Focus Crystals mining nodes, Crescent Falls is a lot richer in these minerals. On Bright Sands, you will have to keep a tight check in the north of the map, around the Jungle, while on Crescent Falls, the nodes are most common the Oasis.

Part 3 Dialogue

Our laser cannon has proven to be… ‘hazardous’ to test on the station. We’ve developed a small portable version for further tests. Clear out the Pinnacle labs of hostile fauna and stash some Pure Focus Crystals there; a field research team will be down for further tests once you’re done.

Objectives

• Visit Pinnacle Labs on Crescent Falls
• Stash 3 Pure Focus Crystals at Pinnacle Labs
• Hunt 25 Creatures at Pinnacle Labs on Crescent Falls

Rewards

Guide

• Pinnacle Labs is located in the Northeast of Crescent Falls. You need to eliminate 25 Creatures at that exact spot, and also stash 3 Pure Focus Crystals inside the Dead Drop. For the exact location of the Dead Drop check the image below:

Part 1 Dialogue

Target calibration on our satellite is off; it was within acceptable parameters in our original designs, but wasn’t accounted for when we switched to an orbital platform. I’m sending a team down to Pinnacle Labs for telemetry, make sure you have what they need, and clear the area of hostile creatures.

Objectives

• Stash 2 Gyrocopes at Pinnacle Labs
• Hunt 25 Creatures at Pinnacle Labs on Crescent Falls

Rewards

Guide

• Gyroscopes can be found in Cabinets. They need to be brought in the raid as this quest is a Dead Drop quest.
• Hunting 25 Creatures at Pinnacle Labs will require multiple runs on Crescent Falls.
• This is a Dead Drop quest. The Pinnacle Labs Dead Drop is on the edge of the map. Check the image below for better explanation.

Part 2 Dialogue

The ICA has been following up on all our recent ‘weapons’ research on station and gotten curious about the lack of tangible results. Head to the surface and perform some ‘tests’ with Osiris gear on some unwilling participants, it should distract them for long enough to get our satellite fully operational.

Objectives

• Eliminate 6 Prospectors using an Osiris Weapon.

Rewards

Guide

• The quest is pretty straightforward and requires you to eliminate 6 enemy players with an Osiris Weapon.

Eligible Weapons for this quest are:

• Scarab
• Manticore
• Phasic Lancer
• ASP Flechette Gun
• Gorgon
• Basilisk

Part 3 Dialogue

The worst outcome is of course the most likely. The satellite will need to be modified while in orbit and part of the outer casing replaced. Retrieve these materials, they should be light yet durable enough to do the job.

Objectives

• Deliver 10 Hardened Bone Plates
• Deliver 10 Smart Mesh
• Deliver 20 Salvaged Insulation

Guide

• Hardened Bone Plates can be obtained from dead Marauders. They are both available on Bright Sands and Crescent Falls. Eliminating them is quite hard, so make sure you bring high stopping power with you.
• Smart Mesh is a rare spawn, and can be located in higher danger zones. Starport Warehouse on Crescent Falls is one of them (on the racks), but Bright Sands also has it, in the Jungle and the Crashed Ship. Can also be found in Industrial Crates and Dumpsters, but also as a static spawn in some industrial areas.
• Salvaged Insulation can be found in Science Campus and South West Collection Point, including as a static spawn in other industrial areas.

Shooting them in the ankles will bring them down on their knees, while their best weak spot is on their back (red color). Below you can find their locations:
