Activities
Abandoned Auger Mine: The Claim
The Auger Mine is located in the same cave as Zadra’s hideout, “Zadra’s Backup Plan,” at the Dissected Plateau. You’ll find it during the story, and a fast travel point will unlock once you do.
Exit Zadra’s hideout into the cave and turn right past the Kratch nests. The entrance is right around the bend.
Inside, drop down the cave and follow the corridor into the next room to fight some more Kratch. Cross this room and continue on at the other side.
Here, you have to cross over to a metal wall to be able to reach the corridor up top.
At the other end, reach the top by jumping on the ledges. Then, use the metal wall to climb across the toxic goo-filled corridor. Cross the next room by using an overhead grapple point to reach the vending machines to fight The Backhive.
Order Silo: Deep Seven
“Reactivate the Order communications balloon to locate a Vault Fragment.”
How to reach it:
The Order Silo: Deep Seven is in the north of the Dissected Plateau.
There is no ground-floor access to the Order Silo: Deep Seven. The only way to reach is to go through “The Motherbird Node” next door. A good access point is the western side, where you can find a climbable wall.
Cross the building and head to the eastern side, where you can already see the Order Silo: Deep Seven entrance. All that’s left is to defeat the incoming Order hostiles and capture the location.
Bobbleheads
Synthetic Nave: Entrance Hall
At the entrance hall of the Synthetic Nave in the center of the Dissected Plateau, head to the top level, the one that is above the road. Here in the corner is a bobblehead hiding.
Synthetic Nave: Bulkhead Production
In the main mission “One Fell Swoop”, you will discover that Bulkheads are modified in the Synthetic Nave facility, and Zadra gives you the task to Sabotage Sol’s production line. Inside the room where the Bulkhead gets modified in front of your eyes, the story wants you to go through the door right next to the modification console. Take your time, stay in this big hall and go through the door at the other end instead. There is a staircase leading up to a small control room with this bobblehead on top of the lockers. The ECHO Log “A Day in the Order: Approved Terminology” is also in this control room.
