You'll need the Hydroponics A Access Card from (14) before entering here. Search the desk here for some Rifled Slugs and an Audio Log detailing a crew member's transformation. They'll also drop Midwife Organs, which can be researched for a damage bonus. They're tough, fast, and can do large amounts of damage, but they have a weakness towards melee weapons and armor-piercing bullets. If you skipped exploring Engineering, then this will likely be your first encounter with one. The Toxin-A Vials require two samples of Antimony (Sb) and one Vanadium (V), which you'll be able to find in the Chemical Storeroom (20) on this deck.Īfterwards, a Cyborg Midwife will spawn outside and come for you, so be on your guard. You'll need to research it before understanding how to use it, though, so Polito will upload you 10 Cyber Modules in case you don't have any points in Research yet (you should). Polito will instruct you to pick up a large vial on one of the desks - apparently, it's an experimental chemical agent called Toxin-A, designed to kill off the infestation aboard the Von Braun.

You may encounter a Hybrid or two on the way. Grab the Audio Log from the floor in this room, then take the hallway to the left. You'll need to find a way to get rid of them so you can head on up to Deck 4. Apparently the Many have begun to use the Hydroponics deck as a breeding ground, taking advantage of its climate control systems. Upon taking the Elevator up from one of the lower decks to either Deck 3 or Deck 4, you'll be stopped on Deck 3, Hydroponics, due to a biomass blockage in the shaft. Did we miss anything? Is there something we didn't discover? Let us know!
