Collect Samples
The planet you travel to for this mission will be different than ours, but the landing site and how you go about completing it will be the same!
For the Apex Predator Starfield mission, you’ll first need to travel to the Stone Pillars on Groombridge VIII-a, a moon of Groombridge VIII in the Groombridge system. Once there, mark your mission as active then follow the objective markers to the specific beasts you need to gather the samples from. If you use a non-lethal gun you can retrieve the samples without killing the creatures! One can be purchased at the Ryuhin Industries weapon shop on Neon.
Return the Samples
After you’ve collected all of the samples, return to the TMD HQ on Mars in the Sol system then hand the samples over to the United Colonies Xenobiologist. This will complete the mission netting you some credits!
Post Mission
Please note this mission is repeatable! Just speak with Percival to get the location for more samples. You’ll go collect the samples and then return them for rewards!
