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

  • On the Step: "Travel through the cave to the Mosswood Region" the cave can a bit confusing. When entering from the Desert cave system, hug right until you reach a path with snow on the rocks, skip this path and turn left and continue. On your left you should see a rock bridge that crosses over, follow this path. (If you see a drop down to an area below, do not drop down, stay up top and find the rock bridge).
  • The locations of the Mosswood Stations are:
    • Epsilon: Tree house on the large tree at the top-left of J13
    • Delta: Base at the top-left of J14

Recommended loadout

  • Weapon each + shared ammo pool
  • Bedroll, campfire kit, 3× bandage each
  • Food for the full day count, water containers
  • Repair tools + spare pick/axe
