Best way to find pink samples?

[Sountrex]

Since the pink samples are usually 3 in each game, is there a way to find them reliably that someone found out about or is it pretty much a gamble if you find any in the first place? I.E for example do they mostly spawn around mission objectives or side objectives, at the corner or the map??? Is there a specific way they spawn to make them easier to find?

They always spawn around the exact same-looking rock. It looks like a mushroom cloud forming. The rock is also on your map. The most circular form on the map is usually the super samples. The location will be random though.

There's that huge phallic rock structure they usually grow around, if you're running bugs
Not sure for bots

Look for the ♥♥♥♥ shaped rock with silver veins.

There you will find the 3 head sized sperm looking orbs.

they always spawn around the that egg shaped rock that has white/blue highlights. The placement is random but in general its off the beaten path so not typically near primary or secondary objectives.

If you look around your map there will be small silver spots. Most silvery thing on the map. Those are the rocks the super samples spawn around.

The key thing is its not at nests or objectives. Its a specific PoI. Online video guides can show you the place.

The good news with this is you can deprioritize taking out nests/factories in your search for samples.

To be honest I have no reason to really do nests anymore besides fun factor, I just need the pink ones for upgrades but yeah I will see how the place looks specifically, cheers.
