← All areas in this guide

The Kreet Research Lab is an abandoned facility overrun by Crimson Fleet pirates, serving as the first combat dungeon in the main quest "One Small Step." You are sent here to deal with the pirate captain Brogan to stop the Crimson Fleet from hunting the Frontier. You must fight through the lab's interior to reach the roof, where you can either persuade or kill Brogan.

Tips

  • You can completely avoid the final boss fight on the roof by using the Persuasion dialogue minigame on Brogan.
  • Use the research lab to loot Digi-picks, med packs, and crafting materials, as early-game resources are scarce.
  • Keep an eye out for explosive canisters scattered throughout the facility hallways to eliminate groups of pirates quickly.
