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

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.
• 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.

Part 4 Dialogue

The satellite’s orbit is too low for our technicians to safely operate at due to all the TEF radiation from the planet. We’ll need to construct specialized EVA suits; a mesh made from crusher hide to envelop them might be enough to keep our people safe. For a short while, anyway.

Objectives

• Deliver 3 Crusher Hides

Rewards

Guide

• Crusher Hides are dropped by Crushers and Alpha Crushers after their elimination. Crushers are the biggest mobs in the game, found on Crescent Falls. Crushers can be found inside Starport Warehouse, north of Starport Warehouse, and on the road between Starport Warehouse and the Pinnacle Labs. 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:

Part 1 Dialogue

Research into Fortuna III’s biosphere has so much potential, yet there’s so little interest by any other parties! Everyone needs immediate results! Well then, let’s show them results! Get me tissue samples from a Crusher, studying their regenerative properties should allow us to develop even stronger health stims.

Objectives

• Hunt 1 Crushers
• Deliver 1 Crusher Flesh

Rewards

Guide

For this, make sure you pick up the best gun and attachments from your inventory, especially if you’re planning to go in solo. Crescent Falls is a hard map, so tread your path carefully. There are Crushers at Starport Warehouse, just north of it, and one before the west entrance of Pinnacle Labs. Those are big creatures that are willing to charge and throw rocks at you and are buffer than the ordinary Jeffs.

Part 2 Dialogue

Excellent work, I imagine the donor didn’t pose too much of a challenge for you. Now, my team will need some additional supplies; here’s a list.

Objectives

• Deliver 1 Portable Lab
• Deliver 10 Glowy Brightcap Mushrooms
• Deliver 5 Medical Supplies

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.
• Medical Supplies can spawn in Medical Cases, and Waterfall Labs and Vaccine Labs are decent POIs in that regard.
• Glowy Brightcap Mushrooms are tricky to get, as they can only be farmed during the storm. The places where you can farm them are around the Swamp and in the Jungle. They share the same spawns with the Brightcap Mushrooms, but they can only be farmed during the 5-minute storm period. To complete this, make sure you carry strong meds with you and heal yourself between each storm tick.
  Important: The storm tick can be avoided. As soon as you see the red lightning surrounding you, make sure to get away from it asap. For that reason, keep at least half of your stamina bar when you’re on this quest.
  Otherwise, the storm tick comes after the RED lightning strikes the ground. That’s exactly when you should expect the damage tick to occur. The glowy mushrooms are in a slightly different color, check the image below.

Part 3 Dialogue

Initial trials have proven to be… disappointing. The near-immediate healing process works flawlessly, as I predicted, but it appears to be excruciatingly painful. Retrieve some Dustblooms for me, Prospector; their analgesic properties should be just what we need. And then you can test the first batch yourself!

Objectives

• Deliver 8 Dustblooms

Rewards

Guide

• Dustblooms can be gathered at the Pinnacle Labs and Starport Warehouse on Crescent Falls. Check the image below for more info.

Part 1 Dialogue

It’s almost time to get our satellite into orbit. Hack into the surface Uplink network, get us all the data we need to keep the satellite on-target.

Objectives

• Visit Southeast Uplink on Bright Sands
• Visit North Uplink on Bright Sands
• Deliver 2 Valuable Data Drives

Rewards

Guide

• The quest is pretty straightforward, you need to visit both of the Uplinks, and then Deliver 2 Valuable Data Drives. This is of Epic Rarity, so pay attention to which rarity you upgrade your Data Drive.
  Data Drives can be purchased from the ICA in their common variant, but are also found at the Comms Base, and then can be 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 “Valuable” (Purple) variant. These sorts of stations can be found at the Comms Base, South-East Uplink, and North Uplink. The Upgrade stations or Terminals look like this:

As for the Locations for this quest:

Part 2 Dialogue

It’s been brought to my attention that orbital weapons are banned in this system, and that our satellite may be considered a weapon, what with its proven ability to vaporize sever- Well, in any case, I need you to get back into the uplink network, get me data on old colonial satellites still in orbit; we should be able to spoof an ID off one to use for our own project.

Objectives

• Visit the Starport Landing Pad Uplink on Crescent Falls
• Visit the Skeleton Observation Uplink on Crescent Falls
• Deliver 2 Unique Data Drives

Rewards

Guide

• The quest is simple as you need to visit only two locations on Crescent Falls. Both the Starport Landing Pad and Skeleton Observation have an Uplink Station. Both of them are marked on the image below:

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 on in some places on Crescent Falls. The Upgrade stations or Terminals look like this:

Part 3 Dialogue

It appears that tricking the network to accept our satellite as legitimate is a more involved process than I had been lead to believe. A team of specialists will be heading to the surface soon to get the job done, make sure they have the tools they need stashed nearby by the time they arrive.

Objectives

• Stash 6 Radio Equipment in Server Room
• Stash 6 Circuit Boards in Server Room
• Stash 6 Magnetic Field Stabilizers in Server Room

Rewards

Guide

• Radio Equipment can be found in industrial areas, Bins, Cabinets, and static spawns across the map.
• 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.).
• Magnetic Field Stabilizers can be found in Dumpsters, but can also spawn as a static spawn in some POIs.
• This is another Dead Drop quest, which means you will have to bring 6 of each of the aforementioned items in the raid and deposit them at the Server Room Dead Drop. The Server Room Dead Drop is located on Crescent Fields, on the second floor of Starport Admin. You can find more details about it in the image below:

Don’t forget to click Deposit after you transfer the items inside the Dead Drop.

Part 1 Dialogue

Our recent tests have made it quite apparent our anti-crystal laser cannot be safely operated in atmosphere, unlike Korolev’s crude designs. We’ll need to mount the device on a repurposed low-orbit satellite to operate it. Retrieve these materials, they should improve booster fuel efficiency enough to handle the laser’s mass.

Objectives

• Deliver 5 Dustblooms
• Deliver 10 Glowy Brightcap Mushrooms
• Deliver 10 Magic-Grow Fertilizer

Rewards

Guide

• Dustblooms are purple flowers with an epic rarity. They can be found in the north of Crescent Falls, more precisely around Pinnacle Labs and just north of Starport Warehouse. They can be collected by using your hand gadget. Check the image below:

• Glowy Brightcap Mushrooms are tricky to get, as they can only be farmed during the storm. The places where you can farm them are around the Swamp and in the Jungle. They share the same spawns with the Brightcap Mushrooms, but they can only be farmed during the 5-minute storm period. To complete this, make sure you carry strong meds with you and heal yourself between each storm tick.
  Important: The storm tick can be avoided. As soon as you see the red lightning surrounding you, make sure to get away from it asap. For that reason, keep at least half of your stamina bar when you’re on this quest.
  Otherwise, the storm tick comes after the RED lightning strikes the ground. That’s exactly when you should expect the damage tick to occur. The glowy mushrooms are in a slightly different color, check the image below.

• Magic-Grow Fertilizer can be found around the Woodcutter Camp on Bright Sands. They can spawn in Coolers too.

Part 2 Dialogue

Ah yes, I forgot to mention… we’ve made some adjustments to account for the increased operational range required; get me a Veltecite heart and some samples from storm-charged creatures, it should be enough to take our device to peak performance.

Objectives

• Deliver 1 Veltecite Hearts
• Deliver 20 Charged Spinal Bases

Rewards

Guide

• Veltecite Hearts can be mined from Veltecite Veins usually located around waters. Their drop is extremely low, so if you’re unlucky, try mining it during a Storm, as the Storm increases the drop ratio in most scenarios.
• Charged Spinal Bases can be found from dead Striders during Storm. Hence, you have to jump in a raid and wait for a while before the Storm arrives. The storm lasts for ~5 minutes.

Part 1 Dialogue

We’re continuing to research better ways to keep prospectors like you alive on the planet, so I’m sure this interests you. Get me these materials and you’ll be among the first to carry our new Strong Medkits.

Objectives

• Deliver 5 Marauder Flesh
• Deliver 3 Medical Supplies
• Deliver 15 Waterweed Filaments

Rewards

Guide

• Marauder Flesh can be looted from dead Marauders. This means you have to eliminate them to get the flesh.
• Medical Supplies can spawn in Medical Cases, and Waterfall Labs and Vaccine Labs are decent POIs in that regard.
• Waterweed Filaments spawn around water almost across the whole Bright Sands. But, if you go around the Lake, you should easily get at least 10 of them. Check the image below

Part 2 Dialogue

The chemical properties of Fortuna III’s flora and fauna is truly fascinating… one would expect it to be completely foreign to our own, yet it’s so similar! Oh, right; we still need a few more items, Prospector.

Objectives

• Deliver 10 Pale Ivy Blossoms
• Deliver 10 Glowy Brightcap Mushrooms

Rewards

Guide

• Pale Ivy Blossoms are flowers that usually spawn on walls and cliffs in overgrown areas, such as the Jungle. They look like this: (click to enlarge).
• Glowy Brightcap Mushrooms are tricky to get, as they can only be farmed during the storm. The places where you can farm them are around the Swamp and in the Jungle. They share the same spawns with the Brightcap Mushrooms, but they can only be farmed during the 5-minute storm period. To complete this, make sure you carry strong meds with you and heal yourself between each storm tick.

Important: The storm tick can be avoided. As soon as you see the red lightning surrounding you, make sure to get away from it asap. For that reason, keep at least half of your stamina bar when you’re on this quest.

Otherwise, the storm tick comes after the RED lightning strikes the ground. That’s exactly when you should expect the damage tick to occur. The glowy mushrooms are in a slightly different color, check below.

Part 3 Dialogue

We have reason to believe Korolev has a mole and is trying to steam our work on these Medkits and put them to market before we do; I’ve seeded rumors to different members of my team, if Korolev acts on the I’ll know who the leak is. Stash these old medicines at the Waterfall Labs in Bright Sands; if Korolev sends an agent to retrieve them, I’ll have my man.

Objectives

• Stash 8 Old Medicine at the Waterfall Lab

Rewards

Guide

• Old Medicines can be found in Medical Cases. Waterfall Labs and Vaccine Labs are good spots to search for them.

If you already have them in your stash then make sure you take them with you before you go on a raid, as this is another Dead Drop mission, which means you will need to deposit the items. Below you can find the Dead Drop location.

After you transfer the items, don’t forget to click Deposit at the bottom left of the screen.

Part 1 Dialogue

Dr. Fedotov is… a character. He’s requested an office with a garden and refuses to speak with anyone on his team until he gets it. Get me these items so we can just get this over with.

Objectives

• Deliver 10 Magic-Grow Fertilizer

Rewards

Guide

• Brightcap Mushrooms can be found around waters and overgrown areas. A common area for them is the Swamp on Bright Sands.
• Azure Tree Bark can be easily found inside the Woodcutter Camp. The POI constitutes a substantial amount of these items, and they can spawn all over the place. Otherwise, Azure Tree Bark can spawn in Coolers too.
• Magic-Grow Fertilizer can also be found around the Woodcutter Camp. They can spawn in Coolers too. Check the image below:

Part 2 Dialogue

All right, now to get some real work done again. Apparently Waterweeds are poisonous to striders; get me some fresh samples of each, there might be something useful to learn here.

Objectives

Objectives

• Hunt 5 Marauders
• Deliver 3 Hardened Bone Plates

Rewards

Guide

The quest is pretty straightforward. You need to kill 5 Marauders and get 3 Hardened Bone Plates, which drop upon their elimination.

Part 4 Dialogue

The good Dr. Fedotov is trying my patience with his absurd requests. You’re to take down some of your rival Prospectors… and bring back some Dustblooms. I swear, if I see them as part of his little ‘nature reserve’…

Objectives

• Deliver 3 Dustblooms
• Eliminate 6 Prospectors

Rewards

Guide

• Dustblooms are purple flowers with an epic rarity. They can be found in the north of Crescent Falls, more precisely around Pinnacle Labs and just north of Starport Warehouse. They can be collected by using your hand gadget.

• The second part of the quest is to eliminate 6 enemy players wherever you like.

Part 1 Dialogue

It appears Dr. Fedotov had already conferred with Dr. Farinha about how to break into the Crystal Caverns; it figures the man wouldn’t write anything down and make our lives easy. He insists only a high powered laser drill can get through those walls, so you’re to get us these items so we can build a prototype here.

Objectives

• Deliver 12 Fusion Cartridge-Batteries
• Deliver 15 Alloys
• Deliver 10 Circuit Boards

Rewards

Guide

• Fusion Cartridge-Batteries can be found in Civilian Lockers, Bins, and as static spawns across some POIs. A good location for getting these is the Lagoon on Bright Sands.

• 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.).

Part 2 Dialogue

Progress is slower than I’d hoped. Korolev refuses to share schematics for their decommissioned Veltecite Laser Drill platforms, so we’re forced to reinvent the wheel. No matter, an Osiris original will be far better, anyway. Get us these additional materials, Prospector.

Objectives

• Deliver 6 Optic Glass
• Deliver 10 Radio Equipment
• Deliver 1 Gyroscopes

Rewards

Guide

• Optic Glass can be found in Cabinets, but also as a spawn around some POIs.
• Radio Equipment can be found in industrial areas, Bins, Cabinets, and static spawns across the map.
• Gyroscopes can be found in Cabinets.

Part 1 Dialogue

The notebook you brought back was most interesting, Prospector. Those Crystal Caverns appear to be made of a something similar to some of the Progenitor materials we’ve analyzed, and no one’s ever managed to get past their walls and see what’s inside. It’s time to change that; get me some old explosives and I’ll have a team blast their way in.

Objectives

• Deliver 6 Derelict Explosives

Rewards

Guide

Derelict Explosives can be found in Dumpsters, as per the game’s official guidelines. However, it can also spawn in Consumable Boxes and Weapon Crates too.

Part 2 Dialogue

That crystal structure enveloping the caverns is far more resistant than I thought imaginable, the team was barely able to scratch it. I was curious about whether this moment would come… It’s time wake up Dr. Fedotov. He was reportedly an acerbic firebrand in Osiris, and the best materials researcher the world has ever seen. Stayed on the surface to work for as long as possible, then put himself in a cryochamber when it became too late to evacuate safely. Just another problem I inherited when taking this position…

Objectives

• Find the Frozen Scientist

Rewards

Guide

The Frozen Scientist is located inside the Pinnacle Labs on Crescent Falls. It’s in the room connected with a tube bridge. For a more precise overview, check the image below:

The quest is pretty straightforward, and it requires you to do three simple tasks. You need to go onto Bright Sands and visit the Jungle. That’s where the Crashed Osiris Freighter is located. Once you get in, find the Flight Recorder, survive and extract. The Flight Recorder is located at the front of the Crashed ship.

As for the mobs, if there aren’t any inside or are missing, you can go at the tail of the ship and just pull mobs from there so the eliminations count towards the quest.

Part 3 Dialogue

We’ve received several reports of faulty weapons: jams, low power, misaligned sights… I need you to get me data on our weapons’ performance against real targets. The old Favela in Crescent Falls should be a good test site.

Objectives

• Visit Favela on Crescent Falls
• Eliminate 6 Prospectors using an Osiris weapon.

Rewards

Guide

The quest is pretty straightforward. You visit the Favela, the named location on Crescent Falls (the hard map). The Favella is marked in the image below:

Objectives

• Find the Mysterious Cave Entrance on Crescent Falls
• Hunt 5 Creatures around the Mysterious Cave Entrance
• Deliver 10 Clear Veltecite

Rewards

Guide

• The Mysterious Cave Entrance on Crescent Falls is located just west of Nutrion Farms Processing. The thing is, that’s not even a cave. It’s just like a POI that has a hole in the ground. (check the image below). Once you get there, you need to eliminate 10 creatures of any type.

• 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 5 Dialogue

It’ll take some time to run tests on these. In the meantime, it seems Dr. Farinha survived the crash, though he never made it off planet. From what I gathered he might have sought shelter in this area… Head there and search for any more clues on his whereabouts, any research he carried with him would be of great value.

• Find the Lost Scientist
