Where to go

Objective approach

No per-difficulty item manifest is recorded for this guide. Follow the on-screen tracker, then use the notes below to decide what to stage before committing to the final hand-in.

• 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.

Briefing

FIND VALUABLE BIO-SAMPLES
//OPERATOR: Sinotai
//REGION: Arctic
//BACKGROUND: Operator satellite data shows unusual bio-growth patterns emerging in several regions of the Terrazone. Bot image analysis indicates previously unknown plant life, and Sinotai's bio-research division requires samples for further study.
//MISSION: Locate and retrieve bio-samples from three marked locations, and return them safely to orbit.
//TERMS: All physical, mental and existential risks and responsibilities are accepted by the contractor alone.

Objectives

Bio-Research:

• Locate Bio-sample 1: Strange Bloom located on the large rock.
• Locate Bio-sample 2: Deer Corpse located at the lake delta.
• Locate Bio-sample 3: Strange Plant located in snow burrow.
• Return Samples to Orbit

Hints & tips

• There may be bears, polar bears, wolves, or pack wolves while traveling between points. Be prepared to fight or avoid.
• You are not required to make or build anything in this mission.
• You may wish to bring a Sinotai Dropship Recall Beacon for faster extraction.
• The mission forces you to go in order from sample 1 to 3.
• Bio-sample 1 is a flower/bulb on the south side of the rock formation that is found on the left-center of M11
• Bio-sample 2 is a dead deer carcass on the western river bank in O8. Just north of the pond.
• Bio-sample 3 is a small green plant found in the snow hole in the bottom-right of N14. It is under one of the arches.
