What the Outpost is

The Outpost is your own base topside, added with Frozen Trail. It opens when the three-stage Sheltered Retreat project is done, and finishing it opens the Research Station, the first step towards Amplified weapons.

The three stages

  • Stage 1: the farmhouse photo at the Ruined Homestead on The Blue Gate.
  • Stage 2: 3 Planks, 5 Sheet Metal, 10 ARC Alloy and 3 Advanced Electrical Components, gathered and handed in.
  • Stage 3: damage to a flying ARC and a Bully on Pendola Pass, which completes the project.

Why order it

Stages 1 and 3 send you to two different maps for one specific job each, and Stage 3 means taking on a Bully, which is machine-learned and aggressive. Buy all three stages or only the one you're stuck on.
