You have been tasked with transporting five Hardened Bone Plates and ten Charged Spinal Bases to the location shown on the map.
The sole source for Hardened Bone Plates is the bodies of recently decomposing Marauders. Charged Spinal Bases must also be looted from Dead Striders, however this time it must be done so during a storm.
