Here are the specific missable items and locations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nFall Rock Battle Helmet (Legendary):<\/strong> During the “Zealot Citidel” main mission, near the “reach the pinnacle” objective, search for a locked door to the right in a corridor after finding memorial helmets.<\/li>\n\n\n\nLegendary Pack:<\/strong> Located behind the same lockpicked door as the Fall Rock helmet.<\/li>\n\n\n\nLegacy of the Fang Heirlooms:<\/strong> During this side quest, you can find a broken spacesuit, boost pack, and weapon. Giving these to the father (rather than Hugh) may prevent you from obtaining the repaired versions later.<\/li>\n\n\n\nVa’ruun Outfits:<\/strong> The “Veroon outfit” (scarf outfit) and various Va’ruun enemy outfits are best grabbed during early missions when you face them frequently.<\/li>\n\n\n\nLost and Found Quest Items:<\/strong> Various logs and the music box in the “Lost and Found” side quest should be picked up while completing the quest steps.<\/li>\n\n\n\nNew Grenades:<\/strong> Ensure you explore and collect new materials for crafting Voltex grenades, as these are specific to the DLC.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nTips to Avoid Missing Items:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nExplore Thoroughly:<\/strong> Many items are hidden in temporary areas that become inaccessible after finishing the mission.<\/li>\n\n\n\nUnlock Doors:<\/strong> Invest in lockpicking skills to access areas containing high-tier legendary loot, particularly in the Citadel.<\/li>\n\n\n\nCheck Corpses:<\/strong> Loot the specialized armor from new enemy types you encounter in the DLC. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nWhat weapons to take with you<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Prepare for Shattered Space by acquiring high-damage particle beam weapons like the Va’ruun Inflictor or high-tier laser rifles to handle tough Vortex Horrors, which are vulnerable to energy damage. Prioritize bringing an Advanced Beowulf for versatility and weapons using 3KV LZR ammo, as enemies are often clustered, making rapid-fire weapons effective<\/p>\n\n\n\n
