I assume you're looking for KASPAR. He's between the Arboretum airlock and the crew quarters hull breach. Look for a red light near the inner wall of the station. You can also hear him muttering when you get close and your scope can highlight him as well. I had to look up how to find him to too because the quest marker disappeared.

I'm not sure what it is. Last night I did like two sidequests, went back to my office, came back, went into space, did the shuttle mission, went back to a previously cleared area and ran right into two etheric phantoms and got my ass kicked.
If he's unconcious he's fine. An tooltip explains it away as he'll wake up and get to safety when you're not around
Man, side mission clean up goes deep, and I think I've made it worse for myself because fucking (late-ish enemy type)
are bloody all over the joint,
Anyone having trouble nabbing minerals late in the game? the grey and orange colored fabricator materials. I have over 100 exotic materials and am struggling to use them because I'm low on the other good stuff, fuck.
Military Operators
and they shred Typhoon, my Stun gun immediately got upgraded to max.

Maybe space exploration triggers it too? Because I nearly got curb stomped not expecting phantoms in the Hardware area.
Lol arkane has their bases covered. Thanks.
Not late game, but have you tried using your recycle grenade on stuff? Like gather a pile of crap and throw one on top.
I guess that makes sense. Mine were in the hardware labs too. Annoying though
This game was fun, until it decided to start sending me places with markers that are bugged/not where I'm supposed to go etc. It's that damned "Repo Man" mission that everyone is complaining about.
I've spent over an hour now running around trying to find the mission and I'm pretty sure it's broken now. Frustrating as hell, the one mission you wish was linear, is not; and broken

Fuck he died in my saves, so i miss a sidequest ?
That's how you "save" him. There doesn't seem to be anything else involved.
I have two controllers. The old one drifts, the brand new one doesn't. I hope they find a better solution for the input lag than having no dead zone.

If the marker sends you outside the station, check out my spoiler above.
He can be different places around the station, but if he's outside, that's how to find him. I found a video:

For what do you guys use Mimic Matter? Only to squeeze through certain places where you otherwise can't (easily) get to? It's cool to sneak up on Mimics with it but damn does it drain Psi fast.
Yeah, I went back to the big machine in Hardware Labs to do it optimally, but it's not quite going to cut it, I think I just need to know what items break down into what materials, and what yields the most.

Hmm my controller is kind of beat up, and is only sensitive with Nioh and Prey. In Nioh, my guy tends to stutter when he moves, it super annoying. I never replaced the controller since it only affected that game, and now I guess Prey too.
Thanks but I've tried that, mine says "within the neuromod division" and I can't find a single google result that has anyone else with that, I can't be the only one
Finished around 28 hours.
The game itself was great! I wish there were more weapons though, Goo Gun was unique, but everything else was fairly basic. I know some people really liked the openness and exploration, but two things began to really grate on me toward the end. I absolutely hated the zero gravity zones, you move too slow, it was easy to get disoriented, and it just wasn't fun to navigate and easy to get lost. Second I was playing on PS4 so on PC this might not be an issue, but the loading times were abysmal. I was constantly having to traverse between main areas near the end of the main quest and each loading time was at least 45 seconds long, up to a minute of just waiting. It's kind of absurd how long it took.
Only installed Human mods except for the one mimic ability to transform for explorations sake (which I'm kinda annoyed about, I wanted a Typhon-less ability run but there were rooms literally inaccessible without the power).

I managed to get the most empathetic ending, I tried saving everyone I could that seemed like an important character and made the kindest decisions. In the end this mattered from a narrative perspective a lot more than I realized. I absolutely loved the twist that you were playing entirely in a simulation to try and teach the mimics empathy.
After the opening 15 minutes I didn't expect another twist to come out and genuinely surprise me like that, but it did and it worked out really well.

How? I think I've recycled like 8 of them at this point and I'm only 6 hours in.

The tlc Arkane put into some aspects of this game really impresses me.

Two crashes in 8 hours is a bit odd. Did Dishonored 2 have these as well (PS4; playing Prey 2 on XBO)?
Some of the enemies that appear in the Hardware Labs portion are quite the difficulty spike. There's the
and
that I've had to give up after numerous attempts of taking them on.
The only aspect I'm still a little questionable on is the skills. It's been hard to narrow down a path, particularly when it comes to environmental factors that can only be approached in a single manner to the best of my knowledge.
Edit: Hint to those who have inventory filling up fast and not near a fabricator, try sorting your inventory. Been a few times where for some odd reason a few items didn't stack.

Labs B in Psychotronics.
Is there anything to collecting all those notes? I can just pick them up but that just seems to be for no reason? And those three buttons next to each other, anything of significance here?

Oh my god, thank you; I went in there, saw a few drones that got in the way and killed them but though it was just another.

Someone noticed I had the Golden Gun in my stream so I made a guide on how to get it. It's a pretty cool gun because it's actually more powerful and can be upgraded more.

I think I like the game. I just don't know. I'm a few hours in, but I'm just not quite feeling it. Does it get better? The last thing of note that I did was finish the video in my office.

So guys, Aaron Ingram......
Did you open the door or choose the other option? I could release him but it's not like he has to open the armory for me, that's where the Mimic Matter really came in handy.

Kinda disappointed with how broken stealth seems to be; not to mention how finicky hiding behind/under things can be at times.
The game's systems are just way too lenient with lines of sight and the like (leaning is especially ridiculous), making for some goofy-looking encounters largely devoid of tension.
Granted, I am playing on normal, but with the Neuromod that yields 200% damage for attacks on unaware enemies, plus some shotgun upgrades, I feel like I'm rocking a pretty, pretty, pretty OP build. The sense of dread that the game so strongly built in its opening stages is all but lost now.
I'm also disappointed with how willingly I've been reloading saves once firefights unintentionally break out. The game does just not feel nice as a shooter, mostly due to the crippling speed at which you move backwards, the sluggish aiming and the fact that enemy attacks can drop you in an instant.
Having said all that, I'm still really enjoying myself. The game's aesthetic and world design are enough to get it over the line in terms of fun and keeping you interested.

It gets better once you power up and then it gets worse for the last few hours.

this game has probably one of the lamest achievement lists ive ever seen. Probably gonna require like 5 playthroughs by the time im done.

I don't get something....
When I go to Load Game it says at the top right Total Campaign Time : 5h 16m
But my latest save file says 23h 24m at time played.

Isn't that kind if the point with these types of games?
If you mainline the rest of it, maybe a good hour or two? That's one of the last new areas you find, but you have a lot of bouncing around Talos to do still with some various main quest developments.
You might want to mop up most side quests now'ish, if you continue the main quest things get a bit more obnoxious because (minor enemy spoilers)
they introduce a ton of military operators that are trying to seek you out and kill you and they get in the way quite often.
You could probably do the various neuromod ones in one playthrough. Just do a no neuromods run and save right before the end, then after finishing reload your save and get all human neuromods, then reload and get all Typhon neuromods.

It was the first thing I did when I got to it, just for fun. I reloaded a save so it's alive but it's pretty neat that you can kill January (and seemingly anyone and everyone else). Curious what it'd be like with every NPC dead.
Apparently you can still play the game. Would be interesting to see how it progresses. I assume you'd need to know where to go and what to do?
You can hack them.
Trying to kill essential NPCs is the first thing I try to do in every RPG. It's not even like a concious decision or thought, just one of those intuitive stress tests where you really get a feel for how well-designed a game is by pushing it to its limits immediately.
Iirc, every NPC in New Vegas is killable other than children. A testament to clever, open-ended game design.

Are the Margrave and Shotgun the same, or does one turn out to have the edge?

So weird to feel conflicted about this, lol. But I have this scope chipset that lets me detect hidden Mimics, which sounds great. But at the same time I won't be having these tense moments leading up to a jump scare anymore. Which is good and bad at the same time, haha.
Of course this doesn't mean I will always detect them, I still need to enable that scope.

And they'll still attacks other Typhon's right?

What system are you all playing this on? With the listed controller lag I'm surprised so many have it, unless it's the PC version.
