In the early stages, a steady supply of stable energy is essential, and it is typically found in the Outer Zone, right at the start of the journey. Over time, players will want major upgrades for their vehicle. The first biome usually offers only one or two such anchors. It is wise to search for unstable energy sources only after leaving the initial location and entering the intermediate zone. These upgrades become available automatically as the main story unfolds.
How to find unstable energy in Pacific Drive
Upon entering the Staging Zone, open the map and look for icons that resemble stable energy sources but are circled in yellow. When approached, these anchors glow red or orange rather than the usual yellow. They are installed and function the same way as stable anchors. The player should drive as close as possible to the anchor, pick it up, and place it in the ARC storage unit inside the car.
Please note: the larger the icon on the map, the higher the energy value within the anchor.
How to find faulty power in Pacific Drive
Defective energy sources are located in the Inner Zone, which becomes accessible toward the latter part of the walkthrough. On the map, these anchors appear like unstable anchors, shown as yellow circles. If approached closely, they emit a pink, purple, or lilac glow. Pick them up and place them in the ATK compartment of the car for use.
Besides upgrading machines, defective and unstable energies serve a practical purpose for traversing zones more effectively.
