Your friend's guide to GTFO's C1: Excavation Site. Learn how to gather Personnel IDs, navigate zones, and face enemies. Get the best routes and tips for survival.

Alright, so you've landed in ALT://R1B1: PID Search, the second expedition in ALT://Rundown 1.0. This one's a bit different because it introduces the Gather Items objective. Your main gig here is to hunt down 12 Personnel IDs (PIDs) scattered across the map. The cool part? You don't have to clear every single zone to get 'em, giving you some wiggle room. We'll walk through the best ways to snag those PIDs and get out.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Main Objective: You need to find 12 Personnel IDs. There are up to 18 available across zones 39-45, so you've got some options.
  2. 2
    Zone Breakdown & Paths:
    1. Option 1 (Recommended for resources): Hit up Zones 43, 44, and 45. Zone 43 has a Class II Alarm, while 44 and 45 are Class III Alarms. You'll find PIDs in each. Pro-tip: grab the Colored Key in Zone 43; it'll open the door to Zone 39 later if you decide to go that route.
  3. 3
    Option 2 (Quicker, fewer resources): Focus on Zones 41 and 42. These zones are generally safer but contain a Scout each, so stay sharp.
  4. 4
    Option 3 (High Risk, High Reward): Access Zones 39 and 40. Be warned, these zones are packed with Giants and Big Shooters. You'll need that Colored Key from Zone 43 to even get in here.
  • Recommended Route: For a good balance of PIDs and manageable risk, try this: Zone 43 (grab the key!) > Zone 44 > Zone 41 > Zone 42 > Zone 39. This path should net you enough PIDs without needing to brave the super-tough Zone 45 (which is also a Class III Alarm).
  • Extraction: Once you've collected at least 12 PIDs, head back to the entry point and extract.
    • Tips
    • Keep an eye on your ammo, medi, and tool supplies. Zones 39-45 generally offer 40% of each, which is pretty good, but don't waste them. Zone 38 has only 20% of each.
    • The Colored Key is super useful if you plan on exploring more of the map or need PIDs from Zones 39/40.
    • Be ready for ambushes. Enemies like Strikers, Shooters, Giants, Big Shooters, and the sneaky Scout are all present.
    • Don't feel pressured to explore every single zone. Stick to the plan and grab those 12 PIDs efficiently.

    Completing the objective allows you to progress to the next expedition, ALT://R1B2.
