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.

Hints & tips

• The 2 Wind Turbines at the facility are not enough to power everything and the lights. It is also very slow for them to charge up the entirety of the battery by themselves. It is recommended to bring an additional source of power to assist, there is a Fabricator there, so you may wish to just bring the resources to make a power source. (Unless you want to wait while it charges)
• The facility is in-between D7 and E7. It's in the center of a ring of rocks. There is an entrance into this ring of rocks on the west side.
• Due to a possible bug, you may wish to grab the scalpels from the previous mission's base in the top-center of F5. A scalpel should appear in the surgical equipment once the quest task "Perform the DNS Extraction" appears.
• You will need to bring a Garganutan vestige (or multiple) to the facility. (To obtain: use a taxidermy knife on a dead Garganutan. There are some that roam around the outside of the facility)
• A wind turbine may be disconnected on arrival. Go to the roof above the equipment room and reconnect it with the electricity tool. Also, turn them on if they are not.
• The Ape Escape mission later requires making food. You may wish to take the Deep Freeze with you.
