The Forever Winter, the new extraction co-op game from Fun Dog Studios has various missions to complete and one such mission is the Friends In Hostile Places Quest. This quest requires you to retrieve three Europan Drone Components and extract successfully back. If you are looking for help on the best areas to get Europan Drone Parts in The Forever Winter, we have put up this guide with all the details you need on this quest.
Location Of Europan Drone Components In The Forever Winter
You can gather the Europan Drone parts by looting fallen drones. You will have better chances of spotting drones near the Cemetery on the Scorched Enclave map. Since different battles rotate on this map, sometimes you might not encounter the drones.
Pro Tip: If you have leveled up your character and weapons (as your enemies will be way more formidable), you can also try spawning in Ashen Mesa.
How To Loot Europan Drone Parts In The Forever Winter
Once you arrive at the Cemetery, go straight and take cover behind a double bunker since the area is already rife due to ongoing fights between Europans and Euraska. While you are hiding, you will notice quite a few airborne instruments. A Europan Drone is thin and has a wide metal brim on top and a metallic hoop at the bottom.
Now, you can do both or either of the following:
- You can stay undercover and track the Europan Drone until an enemy shoots it down. You can save precious ammunition this way.
- You can take aim and bring down the drone yourself, provided you are away from the patrol routes. Be wary, as gunshots may trigger your enemies into seeking you out.
Tips To Loot Europan Drone Parts In The Forever Winter
- If you are lucky, you can encounter enemy drones fighting each other without any soldiers nearby. This is the best-case scenario as you can loot the fallen Europan Drone without the fear of nearby enemies.
- However, you must be wary as the Europan Drone explodes before hitting the ground. So, if you are too close to it, you will get injured. Once it falls, you can head over to the crash site and loot the Europan Drone parts.
- While looting for normal items, do not loot too many as the Hunter Squad might become aware of your presence and hunt you down.
- It is very likely that you will not get all three Europan Drone parts on your first go. But do not worry, as your progress carries over. So, do not feel the need to loot it all in one single extraction as this might expose you to enemies.
