Mission Unearthed - pod is WAY too far from the analyzer

5 votes

When you start the mission, the pod drops you at the top left of the map...and you have to walk the whole map just to reach the analyzer that is on the bottom right. We're used to walking from the pod to the different areas where the mission needs to take place, but on this mission I feel it's really exaggerated ! Especially considering we also have the return trip at the end of the mission. The rest of the mission was great, we had a lot of fun - but the walking part really felt pointless and time-consuming.

Try playing in a group :)
Mission is too easy... all of the missions are too easy...

I agree with you! For me, all the fun faded away on the way back and left us with a bitter taste when reaching the pod

I didn't have any issues with either solo or as a group. As long as you make a few decent foods (either potbelly stove or biofuel stove) you should have no issues making it around the map. I built up at the dropships then when I was ready completed mission and collected all three exotic nodes in one trip.

It's not a matter of the mission being easy or hard neither a matter of shortening the time we spend walking by using the buffs from the food. It's just that there's no point in landing so far away from the objective when we have already discovered closer locations. That's an aspect of the game that - to me - does not result in fun and whose purpose only seems to be to add "content" or "duration" to a mission. I've done it with a group, and it's still an unpleasant aspect of the game, sadly.
