Key Takeaways

- Includes 2 objectives focused on exploration, delivery.
- Rewards 2 items upon completion.
- Part of a multi-step quest chain from Celeste. Both a prerequisite quest and follow-up quests exist.
Objectives
All objectives carry over between raids. You do not need to complete everything in a single run.
Walkthrough Tips
Search objectives have specific interaction zones you need to reach. Use your compass marker to navigate to the general area, then look for the highlighted interaction point. Some search areas may have multiple valid spots.
Delivery objectives require you to carry items to a destination. Dying while carrying quest items won't lose them permanently, but you'll need to retrieve them from the quest giver again.
This quest is part of a chain. Completing the previous quest(s) in the series is required before this one becomes available from the trader.
Recommended Loadout
Light Weapon (Pistol or SMG)
Exploration quests have less direct combat but you still need something for self-defense. A lightweight weapon keeps your mobility high.
Healing Items (Bandages or Medkits)
Delivery runs mean traveling across the map while carrying quest items. Healing supplies keep you alive during the long trek without needing to divert for supplies.
Zipline
Ziplines speed up navigation between objectives spread across the map. Place them on high points to create shortcuts for return trips.
Step-by-Step Completion Guide
Follow these steps to complete all objectives for Cold Storage. Each step includes contextual advice based on the objective type.
In one round, search any J Kozma Ventures container
Follow your quest marker to the search area. The item or location will have a highlighted interaction prompt. Check multiple floors and rooms if the building has interior areas.
In one round, deliver the Rare Books to Shani
You need to carry the specified item back to the trader. The quest item will be in your inventory. Head to Speranza and interact with the trader to hand it over. If you die during transit, the quest item returns to the quest giver for re-collection.
Map: Stella Montis
A mountainous industrial complex divided into upper and lower sections. Mining operations, processing facilities, and research labs are scattered across steep terrain. The altitude changes and narrow pathways make this one of the more vertically oriented maps.
Plan your route carefully. Moving between upper and lower sections takes time, and you'll be exposed on the connecting paths. The industrial facilities provide good loot but attract heavy ARC presence.
