3:23 Pick - Empty - Knife - Bow (where empty is for the axe), agreed! There's no other way.😄 The question is... is your fifth slot for the torch or for bandages?
I like doing the south->north run like you did, but I often take the time to build 3 ramps so i can bypass that narrow left-side area heading into the arctic and instead build up on the right and avoid the polar bear more consistently. Seeing how you're using the unstuck inspires me to speed up my runs further, thanks!
Wife and i did this run to get the nieves pick, except we take the northern route. We bring Nano armour, 2x speed module, green backpack, pick and knife. We craft a bow on the way and harvest one oxite node.
Just to add, if you're doing this without naneo armor, I like to grab fiber while running, just to make the cloth armor real quick while heading to the destination. That's another 5% movement speed, and it will auto equip as you go along, if you want that max speed. Awesome video, joined your discord!
I also like running north bound rather than south through the arctic. It does take a bit longer, but it feels a lot safer for the slightly longer run. There's also two caves along the way that seem to have exotics in them quite often that I always check for a slightly higher payout.
Holy crap, how is this considered early game? I'm lvl 20 trying to figure out what to do with exotics I found on a mission and every part of this video does not compute lol
That cave with the mushrooms has always had exotics in it for me. So if you stumble upon it, you will likely find a node. I have been doing this mission to build up my armor so I can do some better-paying missions soon. :-) I have not tried the speedrun style. May need to give this a go.
I still prefer to take my time doing "Spirit walk" My 3rd character is a beast lvl 60 Ironman challenger (that means no deaths so far) but plenty of brown underwear. Just pulled out 655 exotics without the need of a radar but I built the damned thing anyway to level my Character. Doing this solo is a logistical nightmare however I built a shack next to the dropship. So after clearing the vein at C5 I use the C3 cave to "Unstick" & drop off the load to F2. Run back to C5 while final cans are filling with fuel. Pick up drill south through desert then east toward G13 (forest entrance) make a base at K13 make a Stonebench to make a 2x2 with sloped roof. Carry flatpack shack + 100 ammo + 100 flint arrows & hunters rifle plus 11 cans of fuel with sleeping bag with enough wooden supports to climb up diagonally if needed. Crawl toward M14 place 2x2 over the deposit & start drilling killing any bear that wanders to close. You can stay in the shack & observe by placing your back to a wall and press "8" for camera mode for a 180 view. Use the big cave to the Nth west of you to glitch back home again when your done.. I wonder how long my luck will last but proud of my guy for remaining undefeated by bears wolves & the biggest killer stupidity & overconfidence. Thanks for the vid Shabby keep it up man!.. My character "Scruffy" salutes you & my 2 other toons lvl 99's Kremmen & Biggus Dickus....
I have run this mission over 70 times and the logitrithum does increase the difficulty. I have brown bears, wolves & boars roaming in my arctic zone now.
I try to get a complete run by 1800 planet time. I take the northern route. I hate that first polar bear Shabby is talking about. If you cannot sneak past and have to kill it, either the next polar bear meets me at the top of the hill or it respawns immediately. 1. Pick 2. Bow 3. Canteen 4. - 8. Nano armor 9. Speed module 10. Animal Health bar module
The respawn at the pod doesnt seem to be working for me when i use unstuck, it will just put me near the same area in the snow down from the starting cave, was this recently patched or is there some trick to this?
Thanks for showing how to do it , is it viable to do with out a bow or are you asking for trouble as i don't have a bow in load out i also only have 1 damper spot & 5 slots in the capsule
You have to launch a pod to send them up separately now. I forget which one lts called but it's crafted in the crafting table and says it's for exotics in the tech tree
glad to see I'm not the only one that is a proud member of the "Church of 1. Pick 2. Axe 3. Knife 4. Bow"
1: Bow 2: Knife 3: Pickaxe 4: Axe 5: Rifles 6: Scythe
Every. Single. Game.
1 - Axe
2 - Pick
3 - Knife
4 - Bow
3:23 Pick - Empty - Knife - Bow (where empty is for the axe), agreed! There's no other way.😄 The question is... is your fifth slot for the torch or for bandages?
Usually w.e. until I get guns
5th slot: Bone sickle

Love it
WOW ... impressive! Well done! I did this mission twice, but never thought about a speed-run of it. I'll give it a try! ;-)

Very true! Great tip

Certainly is safer

Haha! This is a few missions into the mission track
Nice one dude, that is a lot even for the 'weak run' as you've described. Thanks a lot! Will do it for sure.
As you exit the first cave you can stealth over the cliff on the left to avoid the polar bear that spawns near it, instead of waiting.
I'll have to give that a shot thanks!

Can do this in sub-8 minutes now with the right talents/stam tricks.

Wow that's a lot of work but gg! Well worth the effort. And it's good to change the pace as well

Weirdddd
Nice run,and i see they open the cave entrance.
Idk if it's always that way lately but I've seen it opened and closed before as well

North is slower and safer. South fast and furious
It also allows me to kill a few animals for exp during the run.
you're the man. thanks for the tips
Thank you Sir
The respawn at the pod doesnt seem to be working for me when i use unstuck, it will just put me near the same area in the snow down from the starting cave, was this recently patched or is there some trick to this?
This could have been patched recently if it's not working any longer, which is sad :(
Thanks for showing how to do it , is it viable to do with out a bow or are you asking for trouble as i don't have a bow in load out i also only have 1 damper spot & 5 slots in the capsule
Not necessary, with the talent it just gives us an Xtra 10% speed bonus. Can take the knife perk as well
Is there a map/diagram that shows these locations? Great vid
I could be wrong, but I believe Icarus Intel shows the locations on a map
i tried it 3 times today and mined all the exotics put them on drop ship...but never received them, patch changed this?
This game is full of bugs, I haven't played in quite some time so not sure.
You have to launch a pod to send them up separately now. I forget which one lts called but it's crafted in the crafting table and says it's for exotics in the tech tree
Why isn't the cave dark inside? I don't get it
Shadows are turned down
Pickaxe / axe / knife / bow is corrext
