Beginner Tips for Expedition Success

Your go-to guide for GTFO's R1B1 expedition. Learn how to efficiently gather Personnel IDs, navigate zones, and overcome enemy threats in this ALT://Rundown 1.0 mission.

Alright, let's dive into ALT://R1B1, also known as 'PID Search'. This is your first real taste of the 'Gather Items' objective, which means you'll be hunting down specific collectibles before you can call it a day. Don't worry, it's not as daunting as it sounds, and you actually have some flexibility in how you approach it. We need to find 12 Personnel IDs (PIDs) in total, and thankfully, not every single zone needs to be explored. That's a huge relief when things get hairy!

Here’s the breakdown of how you can tackle this:

Objectives

The main goal is to Gather Items, specifically 12 Personnel IDs. You'll find them scattered across the zones, with each zone from 39-45 potentially holding up to 3 PIDs, giving you a total of 18 to find. Remember, you only need 12, so you can afford to skip some areas if you're in a pinch.

You've got a few paths to choose from:

Option 1: Zones 43, 44, and 45

1. Head into Zone 43. Be ready, this one triggers a CLASS II ALARM. Grab the PIDs you find here.
2. Pro-tip: There's a Colored Key in Zone 43. Snagging this is crucial if you plan on accessing Zones 39 and 40 later.
3. Next up is Zone 44, which is a bit tougher with a CLASS III ALARM. More PIDs await.
4. Finally, push into Zone 45, another CLASS III ALARM zone. Collect any remaining PIDs you need here.

Option 2: Zones 41 and 42

1. Enter Zone 41 and start collecting PIDs. Keep an eye out, as this zone, along with Zone 42, has a Scout lurking around.
2. Move on to Zone 42 and continue your search for PIDs.

Option 3: Zones 39 and 40 (Requires the Colored Key from Zone 43)

1. If you grabbed the Colored Key from Zone 43, you can now access Zone 39. Collect the PIDs here.
2. Proceed to Zone 40 to find more PIDs. Be warned: these two zones are packed with dangerous enemies, including Giants and Big Shooters. Tread carefully!

Once you've secured at least 12 PIDs, make your way back to the starting point to extract. Easy peasy, right?

A Recommended Route: If you want to play it safe and potentially avoid the tougher alarms, try this path: Enter Zone 43, then Zone 44, followed by Zone 41, then Zone 42, and finally Zone 39. This route should give you enough PIDs without needing to brave the CLASS III ALARM in Zone 45.
