Mission read

Complete the timed weapons-range course by scoring enough points before the clock runs out. Run it as a mission prospect on Olympus with a recorded difficulty of 1/4. Time allowance: 2h; payout: Easy 3 Ren; Normal 5 Ren; Hard 8 Ren

Campaign position

• Prerequisite: Beachhead
• Unlocks: Target Dummy, Bullseye Target

Where to go

Objective approach

• Easy: Forest: Shooting Range: Course score x100.

• Normal: Forest: Shooting Range: Course score x180.

• Hard: Forest: Shooting Range: Course score x250.

• Read the objective tracker after every major interaction; many ICARUS prospects reveal the next step only after the current one completes.

• Stage resources at the hand-in or build site before triggering final timers, wildlife waves, or extraction travel.

• If the guide has a manifest above, build the Hard list first when possible; it covers lower-difficulty planning and avoids under-packing.

• Keep the return route open. A finished objective still fails the run if the crew cannot safely reach the dropship or delivery pod.

Preparation

• Start with a bedroll, campfire or shelter kit, oxygen and water storage, bandages, splints, and enough food to cover the full route.
• Assign one player to navigation and one to resource accounting so the crew does not duplicate long hauls or miss a delivery line.
• Use the loadout list below as the minimum kit, then add mission-specific tools before launch.

Hazards and controls

• No special hazard is recorded, so default to storm shelter, wound treatment, spare tools, and enough ammunition for unexpected predators.
• Long travel remains the risk: mark caves, water, and emergency shelter locations as you move.

Execution checklist

• Before drop: confirm prerequisite unlocks, mission timer, loadout, and who carries shared deployables.
• On landing: locate water, set a respawn point, and confirm the first objective marker before building a permanent base.
• Mid-run: consolidate loot and mission items at one marked cache; keep one repair kit and medical stack on each player.
• Before extract: verify every optional delivery, reward unlock, and follow-up objective is complete before leaving orbit-side cargo behind.

Overview

Potshot is the weapons-range mission on Olympus: a timed shooting course at the Ranged Weapons Testing Range. Interact with the bear statue to start, then score enough points before the 90-second clock runs out. Everything you need — ranged weapons, ammo, food, water and oxygen — is supplied in crates at the range, so you can drop in empty-handed.

The passing score scales with difficulty (see the manifest above). Points come from hitting bears — 10 per headshot, 5 per body shot, 1 per hardened-point hit — or you can farm the Bullseye Targets, which is far quicker than chasing live headshots.

Hints & tips

Oxygen, food, and water are provided in a crate at the shooting range, and do not need to be collected. Ammunition and ranged weapons are provided as well. Weather events may occur.
Bears are worth 10 points per head shot, 5 points per body shot, and 1 point per hardened point hit. Completing the course within the time limit requires aiming for the head of:

• 10 bears (1 headshot every 9 seconds) on Easy
• 18 bears (1 headshot every 5 seconds) on Medium
• 25 bears (1 headshot every 3 seconds) on Hard
  Prospectors can also use the Bullseye Targets to complete the objective (far quicker and easier).
  This mission unlocks the Target Dummy and Bullseye Target recipes. Note: blueprint unlocks are character-specific — a character without the recipe has to run the mission again.
