Dead Bolt
There are 2 Dead Bolts
1 – Connect the Dots
This Dead Bolt is on the roof of the petrol/gas station just south of the Makeshift Chalet Safehouse, on the coffee table. You can jump up to the roof from the sides. The Vault Fragment is also here.
Description:
“Loretta Rumsen. Mithra. 1,782 hours. Offline.”
2 – Don’t Walk into the Fight
East of Embracer’s Bluff in the north of Lopside, there are a couple of attacker drills, where you can also find a Dead Bolt.
Description:
“Pam Ashland. Tethys. 3,952 hours. Offline.”
Electi Safe
Just kick the Electi Safe to receive the loot.
1 – Makeshift Chalet Safehouse
The Electi Safe is up on a structure northeast of the Makeshift Chalet Safehouse. Opening the safe is easy after you’ve defeated all the hostiles in the area. There is a grapple point that will take you there.
Lost Capsule
The Lost Capsule is a long, bulky device that has to be carried back to a safehouse of your choosing – preferably the nearest one to put it in the Decryption Machine there. There is one Lost Capsule in the Lopside Region
1 – Petrol/Gas Station, South of Makeshift Chalet
South of the Makeshift Chalet Safehouse is a Petrol/Gas Station. The Lost Capsule is just by the pump. Carry it to the Makeshift Chalet in the north.
Propaganda Speaker
Propaganda Speakers are interactive collectibles that require players to locate and activate them before defending against attackers while Echo completes a 100% hack.
1 – Northern Lopside
The Propaganda Speaker at Lopside is in the far north of the area, by the border to Grindstone of the Worthy. Hack the terminal and survive three waves to claim the Propaganda Speaker.
Evocarium
You’ll find one Evocarium at the Lopside. It’s a hovering Eridian device that I refer to as the “torch” throughout this guide. Evocariums always lead to a special type of ECHO Log, called an “Eridian Log,” which get their own subsection in your ECHO Logs Inventory.
1 – Eridian: Hungrier – The Yawning Yard
This time, the Eridian Evocarium torch is northwest of the Yawning Yard, standing out in the open without the protection of buildings. Interact with it to reveal the tree orbs.
The orbs are located on top of a steep rock just above the torch, on top of a nearby building, and on top of a turbine in the east. The only tricky one is the orb on the turbine. I reached it by gliding from the elevated rock, where one of the orbs is. In the screenshot below, you can also see the turbine orb behind the orb on the elevated rock. Once you’re done, head back to the torch to grab the ECHO Log Eridian: Hungrier.
Vault Fragment
The Vault Fragment at Lopside is on the roof of the petrol/gas station just south of the Makeshift Chalet Safehouse. You can jump up at the sides or at the back. There is a dinner table with the Vault Fragment in the center of it.
Vault Symbol
There is only one Vault Symbol hidden at The Howl.
1 – Smackwater
Head to the rocky overhang in the north of Smackwater and look down to spot the Vault Symbol in the valley below.
ECHO Log
There is one ECHO Log at Lopside.
1 – Rafa the Negotiator
This ECHO Log is in the south of Lopside, by the main road on a couch.
Description:
“Rafa Rafas his way out of a crisis.”

Safe House: Makeshift Chalet
The Safe House: Makeshift Chalet is in the northwest of the Lopside region. It is a fort with an open gate, initially owned by the Order.
The Datapad fell down to a ledge on the northwestern side. Jump down to retrieve it. There is also a grapple and a metal wall you can use to get back up.
The capture terminal is outside of the intact building, not the one where you’ve retrieved the datapad from.
