Tips
  • Some Black Boxes require specific tools like the Diving Mask and Vinecutters, so ensure you have them before searching in certain areas.
  • Energy Cells are needed for a few Black Boxes to power doors; they are often found near the wreckage or associated structures.
  • Use the Pullcaster to remove obstacles like vents, beams, or crates blocking access to the Black Boxes.
  • Look for grapple points to reach higher locations or cockpits.
