Farro Data Center - Part 1 of New Activity
This new activity takes place in both Stanton and Pyro at multiple different locations. For tonight's build, we will focus on Farro Data Center on Pyro IV and ends at Step 4 of the list below. This location has multiple locked doors that take different types of credentials to open such as key cards, "computer data security", and uses a new mechanic that requires certain clothing for the door scan to allow you entry. How you get this clothing is up to you. We will keep the details beyond this at a minimum to test the in-game communication and discovery of this activity.
The activity for this first part will be held at Farro Data Center on Pyro IV
