I cannot, for the life of me, find one. I am Hot & Fresh (😎)(not really, tho’…), I’m playing Hell-Scrub missions because it’s just very fun to cause pure mayhem on familiar streets, and every single time I finish the mission with a pang of frustration that I wasted a lot of time unsuccessfully looking for a noisy blue needle…

So I give up on them. If we’re to meet on the field of battle, I will be avoiding the cache, so that I won’t at least have that defeat constantly flashing in my face:))

    Pretty much same, I will do a cursory look in the area around it but won’t waste a lot of time on them anymore. I don’t know why DE made the Exterminate special caches be way more obvious with a giant bright green glow and a waypoint when you get close but made the Biocode so damn hard to spot. At least give them the same glowing outline as the rep collectables (an amazing addition BTW, makes them so much easier to spot than the Zariman or Sanctum Anatomica ones).

      Ooh, yes, love the highlights, very good idea! Would’ve been a pain to find otherwise, even with Loot Radar…

      As for the Biocode, you make a very good point, because I don’t even know what they look like! I watched a YT video while doing my first Survival, saw an explosion of blue and the person narrating saying “there it is,” to which I was like “…ok,” and that was it!:))

        It’s a small rectangle that’s some sort of tech with blue blobs of techrot on it. It does show up on the loot radar, which helps a little, but the dark blue glow stands out way less than the bright green one of the other cache collectible. Apparently it also can spawn up to 100m away from the cache which means it can be multiple tilesets away if you get unlucky.
