How do i stay on the main quest?
I don't know what is a side quest and what is a main quest but I dont like the side quests as its usually just fetch this thing then return it. How do i stay on the main quest line?

The main quest marker is larger on the map.

(A large diamond shape made up of four smaller diamonds)

I would HIGHLY advise you to finish the side quests. A lot of the story content is found there and some things will make a lot more sense if you finish the side quests and get all the logs and archives.

With skipping the side quests you will be severely underleveld for route B and C since those start at fixed enemy levels. Also a lot of things like upgrade materials you need are coming from side quest rewards.

You dont have to do all of them but i would finish the majority.

Not to forget: lot's of good story content is tucked into many side quests.

The side quests are definitely worth doing. At first, they may just seem like annoying little time-wasters that are only there to give you loot and experience, but many of them are connected to the overarching story, and will add a lot of context to it. The side quests are also where a large portion of development occurs for the characters, as they learn more about the world and the machines.

Believe it when people tell you that the side quests are almost as important, if not equally important, as the main quest, if you're interested in getting the most out of the story.

Your pod tells you to go to the Resistance camp to get an scanner installed to find Android signals. Do that, ( its a short questline) then go back to the Flooded City (Coast) to scan for traces of 9S.

Thanks Ogami. I got the scanner installed but there wasn't a marker so i was lost.
