Null Sector "Retrieval" (first) mission *Solved*

[Carbon]

Hey guys.

Putting down the trail beacons in the Null Sector and I'm at the cave entrance to the Ice Sheet but cannot get past the "Icesheet cave in" which blocks the cave. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Try to use pickax ,otherwise you have to have quest and after game will allowed you to go.Of course with you have to pickax trough the ice wall.

I'm not in open world, but as I said in the OP, on the first mission so there's no 'questing' to do and the pickaxe was naturally the first method attempted. Numerous pickaxes actually, from Workshop to cold steel.

The mission is "Ashlands: Retrieval" so maybe I'm not supposed to progress into the ice sheet at this point (the ice sheet isn't called "Ashalnds"). I'll also assume that in open world, this tunnel is opened already. It's somewhat ambiguous in the mission however, and there is no indication that progressing past the cave in is not possible at this point.

just build over it that what me and my brother did when the cave did not open up for us the second time

Turns out the mission isn't about getting into the ice sheet, hence my inability to get by the collapse. Thanks for the suggestions guys.

first mission you don't need to get 100% if you find base in middle of valley you get quest item from locker once you finish lisining audio mission will finish

How you guys reach that, I though there was no path since the 2 caves I saw have no exits.

Solved guys. Nothing to see here.

I 'accidentally' found the cave that leads to the ice sheet while on the mission, but couldn't get past it, hence the post. The first mission doesn't involve going to the ice sheet, so the cave in is impassable.

I still hadn't progress well, stuck at 26% so I had no idea.

Lay down trail beacons to the Outpost and the mission is complete. No need to leave the Ashlands.

Read the post above. If you're doing ashlands retrieval mission then you aren't supposed to be going into the icesheets. It's not part of the mission area.

my bad we are doing "unknown venture: ice sheet" and can't pickaxe through the cavein.

Are you talking about the cave up on the side of the mountain with the broken metal walkways leading to it? The cave where there's a ghost outline of a small object on the rockface?

You open that with explosives, which you find in a crate below one of the broken sections of the walkway. The esplosives are a quest item, you don't have to craft anything.

no it's the cavein leading to the frozen sector of the null I guess we need to be in a different mission?
