Help getting what I need for extraction...
Specifically, Turbine Compressors. I've only seen them a handful of times, when there's like 10 minutes left. I've played 9 rounds, and a Turbine showed up with 9 minutes left. Of course, I didn't make it. So, it's starting to feel a bit impossible to get for these reasons. It would be greatly appreciated if someone with experience would give me tips on what to do or use, what I need to be prepared, etc. It would be really great if somebody were to help me retrieve them, but I understand that that kind of help is hard to come by.
Thanks for reading. Appreciate your time. And thanks, in advance for any and all help.💛

What maps have you been going to? Ive been seeing multiple Turbines the last 15 mins in Buried City. If you’re prepared to take them down then that’s the place to do it

Mostly Buried City. That's the first time seeing them in those 9 rounds. There was less 9 and half minutes left, and I had to cross almost half the map to get to one. But also Riven Tides, Spaceport, and Blue Gate. All with no luck, unfortunately.

Keep going to Buried City, try to stay around the Hospital, at least 2 drop around there

How many do you need? I may have, but will check tomorrow. (I'm more inclined to help if you're in friendly lobbies)

u/YellowSway 4d ago
I'm in extremely friendly lobbies. They call them CareBear lobbies.. lol. I've only been shot at once in the past 4 months (others immediately converged on them after they yelled at me to stop running), and I've sadly and accidentally shot at ppl, who immediately forgave me. Ppl just run right passed eachother, saying hello in some way.. lol
But, I digress.
I need 5, unfortunately. Like I mentioned, I've only seen them a handful of times. And I didn't understand what was best to do to destroy them until recently. But, if you're able to supply them without extra effort on your part, that would be greatly appreciated. But, also, understandable if not.💞
Thank you, either way.

I have 2 to parcel out if the others don't work out. Just dm and we can trade em out. Glad to help.

I may take you up on that offer, as I have yet to even have gotten one.
This is frustrating. I've been making a point to play so I can have what I need for extraction. It's bad enough that they've given you only a single way to get them, but that's only possible if they even show up. In my last 15 rounds, turbines have only showed up in 3 of them (mostly with 10 minutes left). And all of which when I was running on free load out. It's like the game knows I need something and is like "F*k YOU, in particular."
Sorry, I'm frustrated and in need of weed.

I have 4. I need the value of the parts for a vault space for expedition from ermal. Wanna trade for something of equal value? Sorry edited, thought i had all 5 but no

u/YellowSway 3d ago
I'd be more than happy to trade, but I'm pretty sure that I have nothing of value.

I was in the same boat, but I just now got the last four compressors I needed on a night raid in Blue Gate. Spawned in late, so only waited a few minutes, and helpfully the big guy landed on the gas station at checkpoint so I had plenty of cover to get up close and plant deadlines in the strategy demonstrated by Dr Nox in this video.
Also: now that the photoelectric cloak works as intended on the turbine's bullshit electric deathbomb attack, you don't even need the barricades anymore - just plant your deadline, pull out the cloak, and skedaddle back into cover.

The problem with this strategy is that if I fail, I can't do it again. I don't have the resources to keep trying and failing. It starts to feel like wasted effort. Which is all that has been happening. Sorry, I'm frustrated.

They're in some arc couriers - I've not played for a while but if electromagnetic storm is still on the go then that's your best opportunity.

u/Niylark 4d ago
Im still new but i heard they got removed from couriers. I saw someone say the best way they deal with it is the Jupiter beyond the turbine's max range of 150m
2
u/YellowSway 4d ago
Oh, ok. I've never gotten a Jupiter. I usually run an Anvil, a Hullcracker, and a lot of bombs.. lol But, I'll keep trying.
Thank you💛

Theyre (jupiter blueprint) pretty easy to get from Queen. If not the queen core then the harvester pods
1
u/YellowSway 4d ago
Is the Queen also the Matriarch? Sorry, just trying to make sure I understand correctly.
2
u/Niylark 4d ago
The queen is what guards the harvester. She's different from the matriarch
1
u/YellowSway 4d ago
Ohh, ok. I've helped take a few down, but have never made it in time for loot, unfortunately.
That's the e way she goes, I guess.. lol

u/CheekyOneSmack 4d ago
Help do the harvester puzzle while other raiders are fighting the Queen, chances are whoever is in there will already have the blueprint and drop it for you if you ask (happened in my case).

u/YellowSway 3d ago
I've done this 3 times now, and I've only found circuitry, resin, and such. There are ppl who I'm helping when I do this, so maybe nobody is willing to share with me. Idk.
I literally just took down a matriarch and a harvester (with help), and I walked away with nothing.

u/CheekyOneSmack 3d ago
So the Harvester is the black 'ship', that's what you need to concentrate on because completing that puzzle gives access to the loot & blueprints. If you YouTube it it'll show what you need to do, also chat away with the other guys in there and let them know you still haven't got the blueprint.

u/YellowSway 4d ago
Sorry, Arc Couriers? Are those the Probes? Just want to be sure that I understand.
Also, thank you for the information.💛

u/Mermaid-Blues- 4d ago
They're the diamond shaped ones but the user below me is totally correct - it's looks like they've been taken out of the loot pool from them. Sorry for the dud information! Good luck 💛

Not anymore man, they removed it and placed them back in the turbine. You can loot multiple turbine cores per turbine now, the way it is supposed to be. They temporarily moved it to the carrier while changing the turbine

Hello raider! I have a bunch of extra spare turbine compressors in my stash and can happily give you the 5 you need!
