2) once there, it gives you a waypoint to pick up a beacon
3) return to the cliff, climb to the top, and down the far side.
4) now you should have a waypoint to place the beacon in the riverlands
5) do so, then return to the dropship
For that mission I was 3 days (2 sessions of about 7 hours and another of 2)
I wanted to try to raise the maximum tier (it was lvl 45) and I was super equipped. The third day is just the time to do the mission, with the rifle the bears lasted 2 shots and I had the stone structures, which were perfect. Since "mysteriously" when you are building the structure to climb the mountain, there are only electrical storms in your zone, lol (this game bases all the difficulty on simply putting obstacles at the precise moment)
My experience? The mission was fun even though it was when I really realized how much of a waste of time and resources it´s to raise the tier in this game. I understand your frustration mate, because this game right now doesn´t know what it wants and is a continuous contradiction. For my part, until they reduce the costs of tier 3 and 4 and make their core work, I have uninstalled it.
I like the game, but right now it has no identity for me, it´s just grinding for grinding, 0 interest.
lvl 50 with more than 100h
There are 3 places you need to be very wary as they are chokepoints that Bears, Cougars and Boars like to hang around, they are in J2, J3 and J4
I ran to the first location gathering what I needed for basic tools along the way (pickaxe, axe, knife, bow) carefully avoiding most animals apart from the odd lone hyena I killed for fur / bones & leather and crafted a bedroll and campfire, when I needed to I camped in the mouth of a cave avoiding the worms by not going too far in. (4 caves in L4, 2 in M3) but it works well if you keep moving and don't hang around long in any area you've killed in.
I also gathered as much wood as I could from palms and as much fibre as I could carry.
The route I took was M4 > L4 > L3 > L2 > K2 > J2 > J3 > I3. I went this way because it is the closest water to your first objective (J2) and there is a river almost all the way along the path.
Near the quest point in I3 I built a small hut 2x2 and built a workbench and textile bench, water flask, put down my bedroll and activated it, then made a ghillie suit, I then made 2 stacks of wooden poles, a stack of wooden floors and a stack of wooden ramps and built a ramp / path to the top of the cliff.
Then I went to J4 and picked up the beacon and spent the rest of the day gathering some food and berries, upgraded my bow, arrows and knife and crafted mats for a 1x2 hut +2 floor pieces.
Up the cliff and over to the other side of the mountain I used a combination of ramps and floors to carefully work my way down the cliff into the Riverlands then ran most of the way to the objective carefully listening and watching for bears and boars.
Got to the place I needed to and I built a 2x1 hut with 2 extra floor sections out one end towards the rock and put the beacon at the end, mission complete ? almost.
Several bears from nearby caught wind of me, so I kited them one at a time into the water and stabbed them to death (bear bacon for breakfast)
I crafted another 2 stacks of wooden poles and another stack of floors and ramps and ran back to where I first entered the Riverlands and built a "stairwell" type of path up to the top of the cliff, then over I went and back down where I came up from the desert. I ran from I3 > J3 > J4 > J3 > K3 > K4 > L4 > M4 > Pod. Be careful in the narrow section in J3 bears like it and in the section along the J3-J4 border, bears AND cougars often hang around here as well, stealth + a ghillie suit works very well.
It's not hard with a little patience, observation and some preparation.
I didn't find this one too hard but I did get eaten by bears a couple times because I made some poor choices and I did step on a part of the cliff that was just a bit too steep and I couldn't halt my slide. The fall was fun, the sudden stop at the end - not so much.
I enjoyed the mission despite being bear chow a couple times, and a pancake once. I was happy that it took a bit longer than most of the missions I had done up to this point and that I got to wander through several biomes and back. I also liked the fact that I had to build quite a bit in order to succeed.
Start using bone spears if you're having trouble with bears. When thrown they do a lot of damage. over 202 to 225 on a regular hit. By contrast a bone arrow does 54-60 fired from a wood bow and 25% more than that if fired from a longbow, so you'd need 3 or 4 arrows to do roughly the same damage as a thrown bone spear. If you land a stealth attack with the thrown spear you're looking at 2.5 times the base 202 to 225 damage which amounts to 505 to 562.5 damage, much more than you would get from one arrow. Hit the head and you should be able to do some decent damage. If not you're still doing over 500 with that one stealth hit.
If that doesn't drop the bear in one shot either throw another bone spear in its face as it charges or swap to a faster weapon. I find spears underwhelming in melee since they don't provide as much reach as they should and they're slower than the knife. I often use a bone or iron knife to attack a bear's head after I throw a spear.
Then there's the bear dance. There is a way to run at the bear to make the bear miss you most of the time. Run toward it as it charges you and try to move diagonally just slightly to slip past it when it's almost on top of you. If you try to run away or only sidestep directly left or right it will often result in the bear landing a hit. I'm not good at the bear dance yet, but I can make them miss occasionally, and sometimes that makes all the difference.
Anyway, hope this helps you a little. Good luck with the mission.
