Yesterday, Julian wrote about the possibility of changing inheritance laws in Total War: Medieval 3, and thereby revealed to me that Creative Assembly have been sneakily talking in depth about the forthcoming strategy game on their forums. The audacity of those people! In other posts, we learn about their plans for standing armies, which I think are probably what interests me most about TwarMed3, in that each campaign will be an exercise in getting to the point where standing armies are a thing.

Marathon sprinted out of the blocks yesterday, so naturally some folks have already seen its credits.

Bungie's Marathon reboot released yesterday, but you might not get that impression from the developer's coverage embargo guidelines, which request that critics delay their "full review and impressions" until the launch of a "pinnacle endgame zone and experience" later in March.

It's a "request/suggestion", not a demand, but it rubs me up the wrong way regardless. The Marathon reboot is not an early access launch that is marketed to buyers as unfinished.

Whiskerwood has made it undeniable: I have the opposite of a speedrunning problem. Give me a stretch of land, a supply of loyal builders, and a free hand to go nuts building some impressive metropolis, and I will, within mere dozens of hours, produce a small, haphazard hamlet reluctantly beginning to flirt with ironmaking. Rome was not built in a day. If I'd had my way, it still wouldn't be.

Whiskerwood, to my pleasant surprise, does not hold this against me. It's most obviously reminiscent of Timberborn, and its premise recalls Colonization, of all things, as your "Whiskers" build a colony for the "Claws", who are largely absentee (there are no cats in America) but extract a regular toll of goods as taxation. You'd assume they quickly ramp up the pressure and force the issue because games are Like That. The real pressure, though, is a much more interesting model of colonialism, and how even absent of political context, that kind of economic arrangement can constrain and shape a town.

Super Mario Galaxy Movie Direct Appears Before Mario Day

While there's no Super Mario game series presentation planned ahead of Mario (Mar10) Day, Nintendo confirmed there will be a The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Direct on March 9, 2026. That will appear at 2pm PT/5pm ET/11pm CET. It appeared alongside new key art that showed returning major characters like Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Bowser, Bowser Jr, and Yoshi alongside more minor ones like Mouser and Wart. However, we do know there will be sales on Switch and Switch 2 games in the series starting on March 8, 2026 and themed Lunchables with Nintendo series like Mario Kart World.

Nintendo didn't state how long The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Direct, but did confirm it won't include any Mario Day game announcements ahead of March 10, 2026. It did note that part of the showcase will involve seeing the last trailer for the film. As the key art featured Mouser and Wart, it could mean we'll see hints at their cameos during that presentation. 

Here's the placeholder for that:

https://www.youtube.com/live/fbaZAQMwEbc

In terms of the Mar10 Day game sales, those Super Mario discounts will appear between March 8-14, 2026. This will apply to digital eShop releases and physical copies at stores like Best Buy. The company confirmed the following titles will be part of that:

  • Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury and Super Mario Odyssey (Switch)
  • Super Mario Maker 2 (Switch)
  • Super Mario Party Jamboree – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV (Switch 2)

On March 10, 2026, we'll also see some Nintendo Switch Online Game Boy Advance and Virtual Boy games released.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Nintendo Direct will air at 2pm PT/5pm ET/11pm CET on March 9, 2026, and the film will debut on April 1, 2026.

Review: Esoteric Ebb Is a Disco Elysium Style Fantasy

I think of the best things about Disco Elysium releasing and being amazing isn't just that we all got a great game to play, but that it's encouraging other developers to experiment and create gems like Esoteric Ebb. It's a similar sort of adventure with a gameplay structure that follows in some of the same footsteps as the ZA/UM piece, but with Christoffer Bodegård doing something also totally original and equally entertaining by encouraging all sorts of D&D elements. It's clever and entertaining in so many ways, regardless of how you choose to portray The Cleric on this journey. 

Players, after a comprehensive character building session, start Esoteric Ebb as The Cleric. They were assigned to investigate The Tea Shop that Blew Up. But this wasn't a simple act of vandalism against a particular individual. It's tied to the current political climate ahead of the very first election in Tolstad, and our previous progress on this quest led to our avatar waking up with amnesia, no equipment, and only the ability to Cure Wounds. The Cleric needs to spend five days investigating alongside Snell, a goblin assistant, and the voices in our avatar's head tied to the Charisma, Constitution, Dexterity, Intelligence, Strength, and Wisdom stats find out what's going on and potentially save the city.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xayOde6o8J0

Part of what makes Esoteric Ebb such a delight to play is the commitment to make it feel like we're going through a tabletop campaign and shaping both The Cleric and the narrative. This starts with a comprehensive character creator that involves assigning points to your Charisma, Constitution, Dexterity, Intelligence, Strength, and Wisdom stats, your background focus, and two proficiencies. What's helpful about this is that you can see the lore, uses, and role for each stat, with Bodegård flat out spelling out what The Cleric will be like if they have a high or low value in that stat. (Pre-built options are available, in case you want to quickly jump into the adventure.) It's possible to spend so much time here determining who you are, and I really appreciated it. 

Once you get into Esoteric Ebb proper, the Disco Elysium similarities become more apparent. This is an adventure and you can avoid the main quest to explore other plot threads. But it is a situation in which many voices in our character's head will discuss the situation and choices at hand, there is loads of political intrigue about, and it is very easy to get caught up in the mystery of what happened to The Cleric and that tea shop attack. At the same time, while it can be quite dramatic and socially poignant, Bodegård also offered the opportunity to meet some hilarious characters and enjoy some absurdism. 

What I also appreciated is, while Esoteric Ebb does feel like Disco Elysium, the D&D influence Christoffer Bodegård incorporated also ensure it feels unique. Some of this involves references throughout the script and character background elements that reference the actual behavior of roles like clerics in campaigns. But the other elements involve actual gameplay. You will roll dice (sometimes multiple ones, depending on your build) to determine your success when it comes to certain actions. When this happens, we'll also hear commentary from the stats that might help establish what happens for successes and failures. You'll gain first, second, and third level butts and prepare them to use them. While we start with Cure Wounds, we get ones that can influence investigations (Charm Person or Speak with Dead) or can affect the environment or ourselves (Barkskin and Aura of Vitality). There are feats as well, which affect The Cleric's performance. 

As a result, there's a replay value to Esoteric Ebb that feels like it invites someone to return to the adventure and try new things. Even if someone went with the exact same build, the fact that the dice rolls determine success and the nature in which both conversations and encounters can go made me feel like I wasn't always seeing the full story and every possibility. There's so much there that immediately after I got through a run, I wanted to go again and see what would happen if I chose to pursue different paths. 

Esoteric Ebb is an unexpected delight that pairs elements of D&D campaigns with Disco Elysium, which turns out to be a perfect fit. There's an absurdist element that's delightful, but the social commentary also feels quite apt and deep at the same time. The execution of the RPG elements also means that feels like there's always more to explore, which I appreciated. 

Esoteric Ebb is available for PCs.

Hope and Jones in fortnite

The Dark Voyager has a series of missions for you to complete, many of which don't give you all the details you need to get it done in Fortnite. One of these tasks asks you to interrogate witnesses about the Zero Point Shards.

You're not told anything about who the witnesses are or where to find them, so getting this investigation started is quite difficult. If this task has you stumped, here's how to interrogate witnesses about the Zero Point Shards in Fortnite.

All witness locations in Fortnite

There are four witnesses you can find and interact with to learn more about Zero Point Shards around the Fortnite island. Here are all of the NPCs that count for this quest and where to go looking for them.

  • Heroic Hope can be found in a small building at Classified Canyon. This building is situated a bit north of the main, massive triangle building in the center of this POI. She stays inside at all times, but does wander around a bit in there.
  • Vengeance Jones can also be found in a building at Classified Canyon. He's in a different one, though, which is located south of the main one. He's also quite close to The Visitor and The Order.
  • Carina can be found wandering around a small pier close to the lake south of Clawsy Lodge. Her location is decently far away from main POIs, so she's one of the tougher characters to find and interact with. She can be hired by any player, though, so if this happens, she won't be available to chat with. This is the only reason you may not find her where she's supposed to be.
  • Peely can be found hanging out at Latte Landing. He wanders around the middle of this area, a bit close to another interactive NPC named Carter Wu. Peely is the only one at this spot who can be talked to for this quest, though.

Many of these NPCs have moved around quite a bit throughout the season. Luckily, their spawn locations are fixed for the remainder of it, so you don't have to worry about them wandering around anymore.

If you're having trouble finding the exact spawn point of any of the four witnesses, check your mini map in the upper right corner for the speech bubble icon. As soon as you're in the general vicinity of any of these characters, this icon will appear, so you can then use it to find them.

Interrogate witnesses about the Zero Point Shards in Fortnite

To complete the interrogate witnesses about the Zero Point Shards quest, you need to find and chat with three witnesses around the island. There are four NPCs who count as witnesses for this mission, but you only need to meet up with three of them, making this mission a little bit easier to get done.

Upon talking with any of these characters, select the "Interrogate about Shards" option to initiate the discussion you need to have. Then, click through the dialogue that follows to hear what they have to say and check off that character for the quest.

It's entirely up to you which three characters you chat with for this task. To get it done as swiftly and efficiently as possible, though, I recommend choosing both Heroic Hope and Vengeance Jones for this mission. They're located quite close to each other at Classified Canyon, allowing you to quickly check off two out of the three NPCs you need without traveling very far.

For the third witness, Peely is generally a safer bet. Latte Landing usually isn't a super popular landing spot since it's on the outskirts of the island, and he's guaranteed to be there. Carina, on the other hand, may be hired by someone else, making her a bit more unreliable since you can't chat with her if she's the ally of an enemy player.

There's plenty more work to be done around the island. If you're up for some more tasks after finishing this one, consider working on destroying objects at the landing site to create space for new allies, using Treasure Cannons to collect items for the base, collecting food items to demonstrate your survival skills, and scouting a potential location for an Elites safehouse.

Rumi swinging two swords to break items in fortnite

Some fresh faces have arrived on the island and are looking for a place to set up in Fortnite. To help them out, you need to destroy objects at the landing site to create space for new allies.

It's pretty unclear where the landing site is and what items should be destroyed for this mission, making it a decently tricky one to work through on your own. If any part of this quest has you stumped, here's how to destroy objects at the landing site to create space for new allies in Fortnite.

Landing site location in Fortnite

Screenshot and remix by Destructoid

The landing site can be found at Classified Canyon, which is situated near the southeast corner of the island. The site is a bit south of the main building you can visit in this area, which is the massive, triangular-shaped structure.

You're looking for the spot where a rocket ship is parked with a balcony area and a small building right over it. This is also close to where The Order and The Visitor are, as well as near The Visitor's ship log, which you need to listen to for another mission.

To find the right spot for this quest, land on top of the big triangle in the middle of Classified Canyon to give yourself a good vantage point. Then, slowly spin around until you spot the rocketship. There's only one in this area, so as long as you're looking carefully, you should have no issues finding it.

Destroy objects at the landing site to create space for new allies in Fortnite

To finish the destroy objects at the landing site to create space for new allies quest, you need to break a total of 20 items at the landing site in Classified Canyon. The best tool for this task is a simple Pickaxe, but you can also use any weapons you may have on hand if you like.

Screenshot by Destructoid

You can break anything you like around the landing site, including barrels, spotlights, fences, boxes, and any other objects you come across. This includes both items down on the bottom level around the rocketship and those up on the balcony close to The Visitor.

You can't venture any farther away than this, though, as items you break outside of these locations won't count for the quest. Luckily, there are way more than 20 breakable assets around the landing site area, so you shouldn't have any problems getting it done. It just tends to take a while, as breaking this many items is a bit tedious. Prioritize smaller items first, as they can be destroyed a bit faster.

If you're up to it, there are many other missions to complete around the island after checking off this one. Next, you might try working on decrypting the hidden message at Dark Voyager's holotable, collecting food items to demonstrate your survival skills, scouting a potential location for an Elites safehouse, and using Treasure Cannons to collect items for the base.

Sabrina carpenter standing and dancing by the dark voyager's holotable in fortnite

The Dark Voyager is up to something, and it's on you to discover more about what's happening around the island in Fortnite. The Order asks you to decrypt the hidden message at Dark Voyager's holotable to gain some valuable insight.

Unfortunately, The Order doesn't actually tell you where the holotablen can be found. It's a vast island, with many unique spots you can explore, so figuring out where to look is tough. Here's how to decrypt the hidden message at Dark Voyager's holotable in Fortnite.

Dark Voyager's holotable location in Fortnite

Screenshot by Destructoid

The Dark Voyager's holotable can be found at Lethal Labs. This key POI is situated near the middle of the island. The holotable is a bit underground, so once you're at the right spot, it can still be a bit tough to find.

To pinpoint the precise location of the holotable, I recommend falling through the glass located right below the Zero Point Shard directly in the middle of this POI. Once you're on the ground, spin around and look up slightly for the balcony area with an orange metal fence. Here, you'll also spot a diamond exclamation point icon.

Jump up to the balcony and hop over the fence. Head through the door on the left side or break the glass right in front of you to access the Dark Voyager's holotable right on the other side. There are quite a few desks lined up here, but only one can be interacted with. The Dark Voyager's holotable sparkles when this quest is active, so look for this animation to distinguish it from the rest.

Decrypt the hidden message at Dark Voyager's holotable in Fortnite

To complete the decrypt the hidden message at Dark Voyager's holotable quest, you need to select the "Access hidden logs" option at his table in Lethal Labs. Activating this option is easy once you find the table, as the button you need to press to trigger varies by platform but is always displayed by it.

Once you've accessed the logs, a few lines of dialogue will play as you learn what the hidden message is. As soon as you trigger it, though, the quest will officially be complete, allowing you to move on to other missions around the island.

If you're up for learning more about the main storyline and earning some sweet additional XP, you may want to try working on more quests next, like collecting food items to demonstrate your survival skills, checking in with The Order or The Visitor about the basescouting a potential location for an Elites safehouse, and using Treasure Cannons to collect items for the base.

bizzare lineage dark determination npc and quest guide

Dark Determination is a sub-mode/transformation you can get via the Determination questline which I'll showcase step-by-step. It's a mode that starts out weak but becomes quite strong once you upgrade it. Here's how to get Dark Determination in Bizzare Lineage.

Bizzare Lineage Dark Determination Guide

how to get to the dark determination npc in bizzare lineage
You speak to Determination to check your Dark Determination quest progress

To get Dark Determination in Bizzare Lineage you need to go to the Determination NPC behind Bus Stop 14 and in front of the Avdol Raid to start the questline (Screenshot above). Talk to the NPC to accept the quest and then there's 7 parts you need to complete in any order. Here are the tips for all 7:

  1. Selflessness: You have to beat the Kira Raid at Bus Stop 1 while having the Bloodlust Perk - To get Bloodlust you'll need to Prestige which you do by reaching max level and paying 10,000 cash to Arch Mage in the Hospital near Bus Stop 10 (This gives you Prestige Shards), then simply buy the Bloodlust Perk in the Prestige Shop.
  2. Reticence: Win a 1v1 via the PVP Board while being above 90% HP at the end (I recommend just asking someone to kill trade for a quest or do it with a friend on a private server).
  3. Piety: Win a Gang War (Check out our Gang guide).
  4. Faith: Beat The Self with 5% or less - You can find The Self in your Inner World which you access via Yoga Mats in the Gym at Bus Stop 2 (Just enter the Gym and interact with a Yoga Mat and then fight the easy mini-boss and defeat it while low on HP at 5% or less).
  5. Hate: Defeat 5 of your Gang Members - While in a Gang/Clan this is best done by having a Gang/Clan with friends that you can ask to defeat (I made a Clan with friends just for this quest).
  6. Purity: Win 3 PVP Board 1v1s in a row - This is a bit tricky since the 1v1 wins via the PVP Board have to be in a row so either ask the other player to kill trade or grind until you get lucky and win three in a row fair and square.
  7. Repose: Defeat 10 players above Level 40+ - This can be done either via Board 1V1s or more easily in the open world (Especially if you have a friend that you can grip for free).

You can check your progress at the Determination NPC via the "What am I missing" dialogue option. Once you've finished everything, go to the Arch Mage at the Hospital near Bus Stop 10 and Prestige to get Dark Determination. Your name will turn blue and you will get the Dark Determination sub-mode in your keyboard in an available slot 1-9.

Related: You also need to Prestige for the C-Moon and Made in Heaven so you can now do these questlines too.

How to Use Dark Determination in Bizzare Lineage

Once you Prestige after finishing the quest for Dark Determination you will get a message saying Edict unlocked and Dark Determination will be added to your keyboard slot 1-9. To activate it simply press the corresponding button and you will trigger the transformation which lasts for about 15 seconds. The base version gives you a damage buff of 5% and then it debuffs you when it ends. That said, you can upgrade it at the Arch Mage NPC/Prestige Shop at the Hospital near Bus Stop 10 using Prestige Shards in the Edicts tab:

  • Base Version: 5% damage buff.
  • Upgrade 1: 5% defense buff.
  • Upgrade 2: Heals you for a flat amount over a few seconds.
  • Upgrade 3: Gives you health back when you attack enemies with lower health % than you.
  • Upgrade 4: Duration increases to 20 seconds and you are no longer debuffed when it ends.

That's it for my guide on how to get and use Dark Determination in Bizzare Lineage. It's a powerful defensive mode once you upgrade it thanks to the lifesteal upgrade. Check out the best Fighting Styles and Sub Abilities to use it with.

Atom eve holding lettuce in front of a produce box in fortnite

Hope needs your help tackling some key tasks around the island, but she also wants you to prove that you're capable on your own in her Fortnite quest series. To do so, she asks you to collect food items to demonstrate your survival skills.

Food isn't a feature you likely interact with all that much while venturing around the island, as it's not all that useful or important. This means you may have a tricky time tracking some down for this mission, so here's how to collect food items to demonstrate your survival skills in Fortnite.

Where to find food items in Fortnite

Map of food item locations in fortnite
Screenshot and remix by Destructoid

You can find food items inside Produce Boxes, which can be looted like all chests but only contain a couple of foods for you to grab. They spawn randomly around the whole island, so you have a chance of finding one just about anywhere. Some spots contain more Produce Boxes than others, though, so here are the overall best spots to look.

  • Five Produce Boxes inside the many buildings you can explore around Ripped Tides.
  • Four Produce Boxes around Wonkeeland.
  • At a gas station and around the woods south of Sandy Strip.
  • Seven Produce Boxes around the shops, houses, and dock at Bumpy Bay.
  • Eight Produce Boxes can be found at Latte Landing and around the surrounding area.
  • Four Produce Boxes are located on a ship near the northern edge of the island.
  • Five Produce Boxes can be found at Battlewood Boulevard.
  • Four Produce Boxes are scattered throughout Painted Palms.

Overall, the best spots to go hunting for boxes you can open for food items are Latte Landing, Bumpy Bay, Ripped Tides, and Battlewood Boulevard. They are most abundant and easy to find at these four spots, so when working on this quest, choosing one of them to visit is the best way to go.

Produce Boxes are rectangular brown cardboard boxes with a green lid. They also all have a few veggie decals on them, making it fairly easy to spot. They can spawn anywhere around any building, but tend to be a bit more common near areas like restaurants, kitchens, and food shops.

Collect food items to demonstrate your survival skills in Fortnite

To finish the collect food items to demonstrate your survival skills quest, you need to find and pick up a total of three foods. For the purposes of this mission, all you need to do is pick up three foods, not consume them, so once you find some, it's fairly easy to get this quest done.

A singular Produce Box usually has around four food items in it, as they typically grant you two different stacks of two items. This means you should be able to get it done in one go, but if, for some reason you find less, you'll have to open a second box. Luckily, anywhere you find one box is likely to have another nearby, so it's not too difficult to get done.

There are lots of other tricky tasks to tackle around the island. Next, you might try working on checking in with The Order or The Visitor about the base, scouting a potential location for an Elites safehouse, using Treasure Cannons to collect items for the base, and completing Job Boards.

Necrobinder in Slay the Spire 2

One of the biggest additions to Slay the Spire 2 is the addition of optional co-op. Unlike the first game, you choose to have a shared adventure with your friends.

The co-op, already added to the game at launch, allows you to play with up to three friends and have a shared journey. If you've been confused about how to play co-op, this guide will help you out./yoast

How to co-op with friends in Slay the Spire 2

For starters, you and your buddies will need to own Slay the Spire 2 since there's no system of friends pass or anything similar. All of you must be added to Steam as friends. To play co-op, you'll need to invite your friends.

  • Load the game.
  • From the main menu, choose multiplayer.
  • You have two options: you can either host a game or join one that's hosted by your buddy.
  • Let's assume you want to host a game.
  • Select the type of game you want to host.

  • Next, pick the save file to create the session. You can use one that you used to play solo, or create a new save. In-game progression, like unlocked characters, doesn't carry across different saves.
  • Now, you have to invite your friends from the Steam list.

Once your friend accepts your request, they will join your shared session. For co-op, the host must stay connected to the game at all times.

Does Slay the Spire 2 have matchmaking

While Slay the Spire 2 has co-op, there's no matchmaking. You can't host open sessions and play with strangers. However, you can add them as a friend on Steam and then send them the invite. This is a smart way to play with others if none of your friends are on Slay the Spire 2.

bizzare lineage skateboard and motorcycle guide

Mounts in Bizzare Lineage, like the Plank Skateboard, upgrade Skateboard and Motorcycle, drastically improve your traveling speed. Some of them are hidden behind quests while some can be crafted or bought. Here's how to get Skateboard and Motorcycle in Bizzare Lineage.

How to Get Plank & Upgraded Skateboard in Bizzare Lineage

  • how to craft skateboard in bizzare lineage
  • craft skateboard bizzare lineage
  • bizzare lineage skateboard quest npc
  • how to get the upgraded skateboard bizzare lineage

There are two skateboards you can get in Bizzare Lineage which are the Plank Skateboard and the upgrade version just called "Skateboard". You cannot get the upgraded version withouth the Plank Skateboard so here's how to start:

  • Plank Skateboard Method #1: You can simply craft the Plank Skateboard at any Gupta NPC location using 5 Leather, 5 Fabric, 3 Common Chests and a Lucky Arrow. An easy Gupta location to reach is going to any stop, picking Bus Stop 1 and walking up the street between the Rengatei cafe and Kira Raid NPC up to Gupta's Shop. For the materials, you get Leather/Fabric from chests and you can farm chests/Lucky Arrows from Raids like the easy Avdol Raid behind Bus Stop 14.
  • Plank Skateboard Method #2: If you don't want to craft it you can also get it from a mini quest you get from the Zuleima NPC who is just a little behind Bus Stop 5.
  • Upgraded Skateboard: Once you have the Plank Skateboard via any method you can upgrade it by going to Bus Stop 2, heading inside the Gym and accepting a quest from Yuto Horigome who is right next to one of the entrances. You get Gold Coins from chests which you can farm via any Raid like the Avdol raid we mentioned or Jotaro Raid at Bus Stop 2 behind the gym, Kira Raid at Bus Stop 1 or Dio Raid at Bus Stop 18 that's in the chapel in the cave to the left of the big castle.

You can use any mount by equipping it from your inventory and then pressing B

How to Get Motorcycle in Bizzare Lineage

While the Skateboards are a F2P mount that you can access via crafting and quests, the Motorcycle is a premium item. You can get it via the Robux Shop like for example purchasing the Starter Pack. The Motocycle is currently the fastest mount in the game. That said, unless you're swimming in Robux, the upgrade Skateboard is pretty much all you need.

That's it for my guide on how to get the Skateboard and Motocycle in Bizzare Lineage. Check out our Fighting Style and Sub Ability tier list for more Bizzare Lineage guides.

Player roaming on the map in Marathon

Order/Chaos is a priority contract for the Mida faction in Marathon that can be pretty tricky to complete if you don't know the exact locations.

This contract requires you to travel to two different locations spread across the Dire Marsh map. You have to complete the entire contract in a single run, which makes it a lot more difficult. Let's look at how to complete the contract and all its tasks.

Marathon Order/Chaos contract walkthrough

The Order/Chaos contract can be broken down into the following parts.

  • Trigger alarms in south Complex by hacking a terminal
  • Acquire Security Commander credentials
  • Download data from terminal inside south Maintenance

How to complete Trigger alarms in south Complex by hacking a terminal

The first task requires you to travel east on the Dire Marsh map, where you'll find the Complex POI. Since it's a named location, the Complex isn't very hard to find. However, I have also marked the exact location of the terminal on the image below.

Head to the POI from the southeastern part (not mandatory, but I took that route). You'll have to find a room that has a "PI X-3" logo on it. However, if you reach the marked location on the image above, you'll find an objective marker.

Follow the marker, and you'll reach the workstation that needs to be hacked. Interact with it to trigger the alarms.

How to acquire Secruity Commander credentials

Once you trigger the alarms, a UESC ship will drop the commander at the same location. Eliminate his minions first, and then take care of the commander. Use the nearby containers as shields, and go for headshots.

How to download data from terminal inside south Maintenance

Next, head to the Maintenance POI after acquiring the credentials from the Security Commander. I approached the location from the southern part, where you'll find a gigantic hangar-type spot. I have marked the exact location of the terminal; if you're nearby, you'll find the quest marker.

The terminal is located between a few small haulers that are parked in the maintenance area. Interact with the terminal to download the data and complete the contract.

Here's the complete set of rewards you'll obtain for completing the Order/Chaos contract.

  • Two Enhanced Ammo Crates
  • Three Proximity Sensors
  • Heat Grenade
  • 1500 Credits
  • Three Unstable Lead
