Tips
- •Scientist is in the hallway behind the big TerraGroup sign in the entrance hall, buried under rubble
- •Loot the scientist's body for the TerraGroup science office key (unlocks office no. 4)
- •Office no. 4 is on the second floor - take stairs from the main lobby
- •Some players report entering office no. 4 through the window from adjacent office no. 3 without the key. If that does not work on the current patch, the key is guaranteed on the scientist's body every raid
- •Hard drive spawns at the desk with turned-on monitors - check desk top and right side shelf
- •You MUST extract with the hard drive - if you die, you lose it and must do it again
