Today's Daily Ops
| Mode | Uplink |
| Location | The Burning Mine |
| Enemies | Super Mutants |
| Mutations | Piercing Gaze, Danger Cloud |
Mutation breakdown:
- Piercing Gaze — Enemies can detect you even while you are in Caution or Hidden status, making stealth builds less effective.
- Danger Cloud — Enemies emit a poisonous aura on death that damages nearby players; maintain distance when eliminating targets.
Strategy:
The Burning Mine's tight corridors make Danger Cloud particularly hazardous. Focus on ranged elimination of Super Mutant groups before moving to claim Uplink zones. Power armor with poison resistance or the Funky Duds perk can reduce gas cloud damage. Clear the area around each repeater before standing in range to avoid taking damage while capturing.
