Snap and Salvage

Overview

This guide will walk you through the 'Snap and Salvage' quest, covering all three main objectives: finding the papers, photographing rovers, and acquiring the Magnetron and Flow Controller.

Step 1: Search the Papers

• Start by navigating to the Lobby area in Stella Montis. You can see its location on your map.
• Head into the Security Checkpoint room, which is directly linked to the Lobby.
• Locate the reception desk within this room.
• On the reception desk, you will find a stack of papers. Interact with them to complete this objective.

Step 2: Photograph Rovers

• The next objective is to take a photo of any of the Rovers in the Sandbox.
• Make your way to the Loading Bay area in Stella Montis.
• Once at the Loading Bay, open your map and look for two small square icons, which represent elevators that lead down to the Sandbox area.
• Proceed to one of these elevator shafts. You will need to take a zipline down to reach the Sandbox.
• Once in the Sandbox, navigate through the snowy corridors until you spot a Rover.
• Approach the Rover and interact with the yellow circular prompt to take its photo.
• There are multiple Rovers scattered throughout the Sandbox (e.g., Robotic Sandboxes A, B, and C), so you can choose any one of them.

Step 3: Obtain Magnetron and Flow Controller

• The final part of the quest requires you to find a Magnetron and a Flow Controller.
• These are described as 'Recyclable Gear' and can be found in the Exodus region. They are rare items, similar to Power Rods.
• One potential (though less reliable) method is to loot small vehicles found within Stella Montis. Interact with the front compartment of these vehicles, and there's a chance to find a Flow Controller.
• A more reliable method to acquire these rare items is by breaching servers.
• You can find servers to breach in various technological areas. An example location is the Power-Generation Complex on the Dam Battlegrounds map.
• Inside these server rooms, you will find multiple servers. Interact with them to 'breach' them.
• Breaching servers has a chance to drop both Power Rods and, crucially, the Flow Controller and Magnetron needed for the quest.
