Get the self-erasing data drive from the second floor of the hauler

  1. Go to the perimeter and go to the hauler to the west.

  2. Enter the second floor via the stairs.

  3. A self erasing data drive is found in a locker on the west wall.

Deliver the data drive to DCON within the time limit

  1. With a self-erasing data drive, you have a 3-minute timer to deliver it to DCON.

  2. Open the map and look for the DCON icon.

  3. There are 4 surrounds in each corner of the map, the closest being the north of the array.

  4. Interact with DCON and drag the self-erasing data drive from your inventory to the DCON inventory.

This step requires you to enter the perimeter map and go to Hauler, the POI immediately to the west. Once here, there will be a server room on the west wall on the second floor, containing a locker with a self-erasing data drive.

As soon as you pick it up, a 3-minute timer starts. Failing the timer means you have to try another game. As such, you should only pick up a self-erasing data drive when DCONs appear on the map. Simply take the self-erasing data drive to the DCON and leave it inside.

No need to Xfill, but you need to complete it all in one run.

  2. Ignore the timer, as when the UESC commander spawns, not when he leaves.

  3. Approach the POI where the UESC commander is and kill him with his soldiers.

  4. Loot the UESC Commander for UESC certificates.

This last part of the quest takes you back to the perimeter, where you have to start at the South Relay. Head south of the South Relay to find a small facility on the edge of the map, and inside a booby-trapped building is a terminal that reveals the location of the UESC Commander.

You must complete this quest in a single run, but you do not need to extract UESC credentials; You just have to pick them up.
