Part 1 Dialogue
You’ve experienced one of the planet’s famed Storms already, correct? Well if you haven’t it’s now’s you’re time to. I need you to collect a number of Glowy Brightcaps for me, the sort that can only be found during a Storm. Good luck and all that.
Objectives
- Deliver 10 Glowy Brightcap Mushrooms

Guide
Glowy Brightcap Mushrooms are tricky to get, as they can only be farmed during the storm. The places where you can farm them are around the Swamp and in the Jungle. They share the same spawns with the Brightcap Mushrooms, but they can only be farmed during the 5-minute storm period. To complete this, make sure you carry strong meds with you and heal yourself between each storm tick.
Important: The storm tick can be avoided. As soon as you see the red lightning surrounding you, make sure to get away from it asap. For that reason, keep at least half of your stamina bar when you’re on this quest.
Otherwise, the storm tick comes after the RED lightning strikes the ground. That’s exactly when you should expect the damage tick to occur. The glowy mushrooms are in a slightly different color, check below.
Part 2 Dialogue
Ah, you’re back already. An Osiris team will be retrieving old equipment from the Starport Warehouse soon, I need you to soften the area before they arrive.

Guide
The task is simple. You need to go to Starport Warehouse on Crescent Falls and eliminate 25 creatures of any type. At this point, I’d guess you have the right weapons and weapon attachments so you coast through this area easily. There are some tough mobs out there, so bringing a friend won’t hurt. You can find the location marked below:
Part 3 Dialogue
We’re interested in running more tests on Storm-affected samples, this time while as close to the planet as possible. Meaning on it. I need you to stash some Charged Spinal Bases on the surface for one of our more ‘adventurous’ researchers to work with.
Objectives
- Stash 12 Charged Spinal Bases in Nutrition Farms Office
Rewards

Guide
This is another Dead Drop task, and it asks you to head to Nutrition Farms on the Crescent Falls map. The Dead Drop is detailed in the image below:
Once you get there, stash the 12 Charged Spinal Bases and click Deposit.
- Charged Spinal Bases can be found from dead Striders during Storm. Hence, you have to jump in a raid and wait for a while before the Storm arrives. The storm lasts for ~5 minutes.
Keep in mind that the guides are a work in progress. If you notice anything weird, please let us know in the comments below!
