Tips

  • Search computer terminals thoroughly; several allow you to remotely shut down the defensive turrets and security robots before entering high-danger rooms.
  • Be prepared for a sustained firefight upon taking the Artifact, as multiple Starborn will phase in along your escape route back to the surface.
  • Earth's atmosphere is completely gone, so ensure your space suit provides sufficient protection against environmental hazards before lingering outside the facility structure.
