Thanks to ROV|Pcans0 in the comments section for mentioning this. Next to a small hill (northern edge of O14).Down a pit where you could find some Oxite (northeastern part of O14).At the bottom of a crevasse (southeastern part of O13).You can see them (and the maps icons) in the images below: So far, I’ve only found two Exotic deposits. There’s a huge glowing circle that denotes the search area. Likewise, another tip is that you can use an Exotic Pickaxe from the Workshop (MXC Pickaxe or anything that increases your mining yields), as it’s possible to receive double the ores per strike.Īdditional Exotic deposit locations in Icarus Thanks to ROV|Pcans0 for mentioning this. Note: It’s possible to see two Exotic deposits spawn in this cave, but it’s entirely dependent on RNG. Optional: Search the area for additional Exotic deposits.Deliver the Exotics to the dropship storage.Smash the entire thing with your stone pickaxe and you’ll see a couple of new objectives: Likewise, you can chill for a while (pun intended) if it’s nighttime, given that it’s harder to see in the dark even if you’re out in the open.Īfter killing the cave worms, you can mine your first Exotic node in Icarus. You can also use this cave as a makeshift shelter in case there’s a snowstorm (though, if you’re fast, you won’t be stranded in the middle of one). Use wooden walls to block their poisonous projectiles and snipe them when you can. Note: It’s possible that you’ll only see the mountainside, but you can destroy the wall with your pickaxe to reveal the cave opening. There’s a cave here and, naturally, it’s filled with cave worms. Next, go northeast through the ravine and glacier until you reach the objective marker (O13/P13). What’s important is that you have a stone pickaxe, a wood bow/arrows, a few wooden walls, and maybe some anti-poison paste, too. You can build a small base here (i.e., armors, weapons, and the like).

The Extractor’s tooltip simply said “requires talent,” but it doesn’t tell you which talent is needed.Then, after downloading the hotfix and restarting the mission, I noticed the following: Worse, when I reached the objective, there was nothing in the vicinity. However, I couldn’t craft it via the Fabricator. Based on the tooltip, it’s supposed to be a device that you can use to mine Exotics. To clarify, I had already obtained the Extractor blueprint in the Tier 4 panel of the crafting tech tree. Also, before you actually commence Deep Vein Extraction, make sure that you’ve got the latest patch. To gain access to the Deep Vein Extraction mission in Icarus, you’ll need to complete a prerequisite: Searchlight Scan.

Icarus Exotics guide: How to farm the Orbital Workshop purple currency in the Deep Vein Extraction missionĪ few tidbits regarding the mission and the Extractor blueprint Note: For more information, check out our Icarus guides and features hub. Here’s our Icarus guide to help you farm Exotics, the purple currency for the Orbital Workshop, during the Deep Vein Extraction mission. We still need to talk about another type of reward that you can obtain. But, that’s solely for the gold “R” currency.
