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.

CONDUCT EXPERIMENTS FOR YOUR OWN PERSONAL GAIN

Briefing

CONDUCT EXPERIMENTS FOR YOUR OWN PERSONAL GAIN
//OPERATOR: NOREX // REGION: STYX // BACKGROUND: Norex has been in Contact through back channels to request freelance prospector help. // MISSION: Details will be provided on a secure line when on site. //TERMS: Flat fee. All resources and construction materials responsibility of the Contractor.

Walkthrough

Norex has provided experimental equipment and instructions for prospectors to conduct their own research on Garganutan specimens. Unlike previous missions where data was collected for Norex's benefit, this mission allows prospectors to pursue personal scientific gain — analyzing Garganutan biology, testing enzyme responses, and gathering proprietary data.
The experiments require close proximity to living Garganutan specimens. Prospectors must set up field laboratory equipment at designated testing sites, lure or trap specimens, and administer the experimental protocols. The results yield unique research data that Norex values for trade.
The fieldwork takes prospectors into Garganutan-dense territory. Each experimental site is located near known Garganutan activity zones, ensuring specimens are available but also ensuring danger is constant. Equipment must be protected during the testing process, as Garganutan interference can destroy sensitive instruments.

Hints & tips

• This mission is part of the Garganutan Great Hunt chain. Missions within a chain can be completed in various orders, but the Final Hunt requires completing prerequisite missions.
• 30-day time limit is generous. Great Hunt missions allow extended preparation time. Use it to build a solid base and gather resources.
• Exotic deposits spawn on these missions. Use the extended time to mine exotics alongside completing objectives.
