Alloy Steel

I use Alloy Steel for crafting or research tree progress. I can find it in specialized boxes.

Raw Aurogen Crystal

I use Raw Aurogen Crystal for research tree progress. I can get it by destroying a large crystal located among stone elevations. I need to be careful because the crystal emits radiation nearby in any state, whether it is lying down, held by the player, or still undamaged. When it is destroyed, it explodes and jams all electronics.

Orbital Strike Pointer

I use the Orbital Strike Pointer to call an orbital strike on enemies, and I can find it on forts. After I mark the target, a beam appears where the strike is requested. The spread is huge, so I should not call it near myself. Even with low accuracy, one projectile can heavily damage my Templar, especially early Templars with low durability.

NZ Mk2-RF Smokeless Energy Rod
