The ascent: How to Clear the Anabolic Express Mission

Of the many missions that The Ascent has to offer, Anabolic Express could be one of the easiest to fulfill if there were not some annoying mistakes and a misleading quest description. It sounds strange as we express it that way, but if you are here, this means that you actually have trouble fulfilling this mission, as pretty much everyone else. Let's find out why.

How to complete the Anabolic Express Quest in The Ascent

Your job is quite simple. Go to The Node, another hub of the game, and talk to Merle to get certain boosters. A very simple quest that can be done in a few minutes and recommended for a Level 2 character, as the information of the mission suspects. Due to the wrong data of the mission, however, they will scratch themselves on the head why they can not complete them.

To get to The Node, you only have to follow your quest marker and go to the elevator that brings you from Cluster 13, the main hub of The Ascent. After you have reached the area, just follow your destination tracker and find Merle. But, and that's a big one, everyone's problem is that the elevator does not really work. At first glance, it seems to be a bug as the door of the elevator can be literally opened, but there is no key request to actually use it. This lets you run around aimlessly and see why this happens.

The reason for this is that the recommended level of the mission is very misleading. The elevator is available after you have reached level 10, and when you approach it from this particular level, the button is actually displayed that you must press to be transported to the node. Well, this was found due to many player reports, and it's actually happening to me, and it's either a mistake or an intended instance with false information. Or, what's pretty far, there are some hidden requirements for the availability of the elevator that has not yet been identified.

All we know and pretty much everything that counts is that the elevator is available after reaching a certain level that seems to be in our case as mentioned level 10. So simply play the game until you reach enough level, and then go to The Node to continue with the quest that is as simple as mentioned above. Find Merle, take the items, go back to Atticus (the NPC that requested the items) and ask for your reward. Just fit on some high-ranking enemies, which are located directly in front of the elevator.

The rise is available for Xbox One, Xbox Series X / S and Microsoft Windows. Further related content to the game can be found in the remaining instructions here.
