You recently received intel on where an Imperium Ship is located, which you will need for Drifter’s plans to come when fighting this new threat.
With no one else available to carry out the plans against the Imperium, you alone will need to infiltrate the Imperium Firebase and steal the ship.
This requires that you first find a way into the base, set up sensors to triangulate the base’s location, and steal the ship after fighting through countless forces.
How To Get Out In The Cold Mission?
Out in the Cold becomes accessible once you have reached Quest Step 28 in the Renegade Quest, requiring you to complete this step to proceed.
You may start this mission while viewing this Quest Step, or you may check the Lawless Frontier destination and select it from there.
Out In The Cold Mission Walkthrough
The first part of this mission requires that you place down Sensor Beacons, which are required in order to triangulate its location.
During this part, you can avoid combat and instead sneak or run around to reach the locations marked by waypoints to place down the beacons.
If you are detected by combatants, you may have to fight your way through the others or may resort to running to the next location.
Once all 3 beacons have been placed, an Imperium Patrol Thresher will appear and attack you, which requires that you fight back.
You will need to defeat the Thresher before continuing with the mission, which can be done simply by firing at it and even using your abilities.
The Thresher will move from one location to the other whenever a part of its health is taken out, and on its last bar of health, you will be able to destroy it.
After defeating the Thresher, head to the marked location to reveal the location of the base and make your way inside through the entrance.
Follow the waypoint to get through the base and clear out the enemies in the next area, which includes a Goliath Tank. (You may use the Strafing Run to easily damage it)
After defeating the enemies in the area, the Firebase Captain named Optus Namic will appear, and you will need to take him out before you continue.
Move to the next area, and you will find the ship (referred to as the shuttle), and this will automatically be hacked by the Shank you previously obtained.
You won’t be able to escape in it with all the enemies around, which now requires you to head through the blast door and make your way outside.
It is here that you will find Strand-modified launchers, which will help you deal with the enemies that you are about to face. (Pick one up and head to the targets)
The targets will be Strand-Hardened Behemoths, and these guys won’t take damage until you hit them with a Strand Bola. (Luckily, the launcher you picked up can fire them)
Fire from the hip with the launcher to release a bola, then use ADS (Aim Down Sights) to release a stream of quick Strand projectiles to take them out. (Do this with the other one as well)
Once you have taken out both targets, head to the next location and do this again with the other Strand-Hardened Behemoths that you encounter until you have cleared them out.
Continue to the next area, and you will find Strand Pikes that you may ride to face the other Strand-Hardened Behemoths out in the open.
You will need to perform a dodge with the vehicles to unleash a Bola (may require that you bind the keys under vehicles in options) before firing the Pike’s main weapon.
Proceed with doing this for all the other Strand-Hardened Behemoths that appear until they have all been cleared out.
After all the Strand-Hardened Behemoths have been cleared out, head back to the shuttle and wait for the dialogue to finish, and the mission will end shortly after.
Out In The Cold Mission Rewards
Upon reaching the shuttle, a reward chest will appear, which has a good chance to drop Legendary Gear that was introduced in Destiny 2: Renegades.
Additionally, you will now be able to progress with the Renegades Quest, allowing you to move on to Quest Step 29.
Verdict
You successfully infiltrated the Imperium Firebase and stole the shuttle after disabling its defenses, securing the craft Drifter needs for the next phase.
Despite the heavy resistance throughout the base, you pushed through every Imperium unit that tried to stop you and completed the objective alone.
With the shuttle now in your hands, you are one step closer to advancing Drifter’s plan and progressing deeper into the Renegades Quest.
