Alternatively, in the cyan room under the UESC comms antenna building, enter the door near the central area, stay left without exiting, and scan beside the inner door.

How to scan Fungal Bioprinters in Overflow

Travel to Overflow POI after South Relay scans.

First Fungal Bioprinter

Target the eastern building’s second floor. Use the forklift by the broken window to climb up. Then follow right-side corridors to the green marker on a shelf.

Step 1

Position on the forklift and jump to the broken window ledge.

Step 2

Navigate corridors rightward until the marker guides to the shelf-top bioprinter.

Step 3

Interact to scan.

Second Fungal Bioprinter

Stay in the same building, head southwest through continued corridors. Reach the server rack area marked on maps and scan the bioprinter atop the rack.

Completing the agriculture report in North Relay

Go to North Relay northwest building post-bioprinter scans. Climb stairs right, left into bathroom vent to reach the terminal. Backtrack downstairs to flip the wall power switch if no power. Return upstairs via vent to download the report. Then extract from the zone.

Tips for efficient bioprinter looting

Carry a Self-Revive kit for long runs. Team up to share scans, halving effort on duplicates. Check lab desks and server areas in POI centers for highest spawn rates.

Focus on Perimeter POIs during contracts for chained progress and loot. Practice paths to shave time, and always restore power before terminals.
