Fortunately, these missions offer a good amount of rewards that can help you grow faster in the game.

Find Order Pod

Let Kilo complete the conversation and provide you with the location of the Order Pod. The marker can be checked on your map. You will need to travel to the bottom part of Idolator’s Noose in The Fadefields region. The pod marker will be located near the boundary of the region, directly to the right side of Fortress Indomita.

The Order Pod will be present above some wooden scaffoldings that you can climb up on. Once close to the metal container, move to the right side to find the control wall of the pod. This wall will contain several buttons and levers that you will need to use to open the container.

You will need to repeat every step that Kilo calls out for you in quick succession to be successful in this phase. It is one of the more difficult puzzle-natured side quests and requires a lot of attention. The best way to ensure that you complete it on the first try is to observe where every interactable control is present on the wall.

Whenever you are ready, you will need to Smack the red button at the bottom to begin. Here is the sequence of moves you will need to complete:

Smack the Button (Bottom)
Flip the Switch (Left)
Place the Power Core (Grapple from Left and throw to the slot on Right)
