B1: Data Retrieval

Your guide to GTFO's ALT://R1B1 expedition. Learn how to find the 12 Personnel IDs, navigate the zones, and deal with the enemies. Get the job done!

Alright, so you've landed in ALT://R1B1, also known as 'PID Search'. This is your first real taste of the 'Gather Items' objective, which means we've got a specific number of things to find before we can bail. The cool part? You don't have to clear every single zone. We can be a bit strategic here.

The main goal is to snag 12 Personnel IDs (PIDs). You'll find up to 3 in each of the zones from 39 to 45, so there are more than enough scattered around. We just need to pick the best path.

Here are your main options for grabbing those PIDs:

Option 1: Zones 43, 44, and 45

• First up is Zone 43. Brace yourself, it's a CLASS II ALARM, so expect trouble. Grab the PIDs here.
• Inside Zone 43, you might find a Colored Key. If you do, it's super useful because it unlocks the door to Zone 39.
• Next, push into Zone 44. This one's a tougher CLASS III ALARM, so be ready for a fight. Keep an eye out for more PIDs.
• Finally, hit Zone 45, another CLASS III ALARM. More PIDs await, but this zone can be a real pain.

Option 2: Zones 41 and 42

• This route is a bit more straightforward. Head into Zone 41 and start collecting those PIDs.
• Then, move on to Zone 42. You'll find more PIDs here.
• Heads up: Both Zone 41 and Zone 42 have a Scout lurking around, so stay sharp.

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

• If you managed to snag that Colored Key from Zone 43, you can access Zone 39. Grab the PIDs inside.
• Then, make your way to Zone 40 for the remaining PIDs.
• Big Warning: Zones 39 and 40 are crawling with Giants and Big Shooters. These guys hit hard, so tread carefully.

Once you've collected at least 12 PIDs, just head back to where you started and hit the extraction point. Easy peasy.

Pro Tip for a Smoother Run:

If you want to make things a bit less hectic, try this path: Start with Zone 43, then move to Zone 44. After that, hit Zone 41 and then Zone 42. This way, you'll likely get enough PIDs without needing to brave the tough Zone 45 (which has a CLASS III ALARM) or deal with the heavy hitters in Zones 39 and 40. You'll still have plenty to complete the objective.
