Walkthrough[edit]

It is possible to unwittingly skip the achievement by not talking with Agent Brandubh immediately and completing the story chapter by just doing the other tasks. The dialog about the dead drops appears only during the Alliance Investigation chapter, and the drops will only appear after talking with Agent Brandubh, thus it is required to speak with him for the achievement.

First speak to Agent Brandubh to receive a mail with the first list of locations, and unlock the possibility to collect the dead drops
  • Despite the achievement description, players will not receive any physical Order Cryptotranslator and might instead directly proceed to the dead drops
