Clay Axolotl — Axolotl of the Month
March 3 – April 7, 2026
The Clay Axolotl is catchable in Skyline Valley and Toxic Valley — only 8 days remain before it rotates out. Hit those two regions specifically if you still need it for your collection.
Today's Daily Ops
| Mode | Uplink |
| Location | The Burrows |
| Enemies | Fanatics |
| Mutations | Piercing Gaze, Swift-Footed |
Mutation breakdown:
- Piercing Gaze — Enemy detection range is drastically extended; stealth approaches and pre-positioning are effectively nullified.
- Swift-Footed — Enemies move significantly faster, closing gaps and rushing objectives before you can kite them.
Strategy: Skip stealth entirely — Piercing Gaze makes it irrelevant in The Burrows' cramped sewer corridors. Use the tight tunnels to funnel Fanatics into choke points and punish them with shotguns, explosives, or fast-firing automatic weapons before Swift-Footed closes the distance. For Uplink, stand on or adjacent to the signal points and hold your ground rather than chasing; let the enemies come to you through the bottlenecks and keep a medic or stim-heavy build on standby for the swift rushes.
Today's Daily Challenges
| Challenge | SCORE |
|---|---|
| Gold Star: Complete a Daily Challenge (x6) | 1000 |
| Collect Soap (x2) | 250 |
| Build a Decoration in a Workshop or C.A.M.P. (x5) | 250 |
| Craft any Flair at a Tinkerer's Bench | 250 |
| Gain XP (x2500) | 250 |
| Kill a Radstag (x5) | 250 |
| Kill an Enemy in the Cranberry Bog Region (x5) | 250 |
| Scrap junk to produce Fiber Optics (x3) | 250 |
Quick completion tips:
- Gold Star unlocks once you finish any six of the other dailies — prioritize the naturally stackable ones first.
- Collect Soap drops from containers and enemy loot in most regions; check sinks and utility shelves in buildings.
- Build a Decoration counts workshop objects, too — place and scrap five cheap items in any workshop you control.
- Craft any Flair at a Tinkerer's Bench — a single inexpensive flair counts; knock it out in your CAMP on the way to other challenges.
- Fiber Optics can be scrapped from Biometric Scanners, Microscopes, and Fuse Boxes — stash a few from your junk pile now.
- Kill a Radstag (x5) and Kill an Enemy in the Cranberry Bog Region (x5) pair well together if you head to the Bog, where Radstags and other enemies share territory.
