Possible Method of killing the Orbs in the future?

[Duality52]

I believe this is a minor spoilers since DE wants us to figure out how to defeat the Orbs later on.

Earlier in the year, one of the Devstreams mentioned that you need to deactivate something from a few bases, which has something to do with the Orbs (not the Rakroids).

Temple of Profit:

1. Entrance to the secret room: https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/957473464847112363/46491995A63472CB8170752499A984DC2C9946B5/
2. The room itself (can be hacked): https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/957473464847112941/7BD1A54636B6630FB778269B1A2C83AE62E5DC71/

Spaceport:

1. Entrance to the room (Right side): https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/957473464847113493/26BE32597D9E297684D479EECA9665552BD22E40/
2. Entrance to the room (Left side): https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/957473464847113932/9DB9B26FE498B834F617A36E153A91FF80E33C81/
3. The room (can also be hacked): https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/957473464847114300/A0D13C4DE4270CBAF5BF43D77DABB7826A059E9F/

Enrichment Labs:

Saved it for last because of two things: 1) the primary Orb, the Profit Taker Orb sits on top of the station and 2) the room inside is slightly different too.

1. Entrance (Left side with the displays past the Virmanks: https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/957473464847114793/D804DCB9D5EACE90D2EF03E09B9C3ABFF3D0A991/
2. Room itself: https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/957473464847115486/C34A64C4FB305DAB32B23966463585BE7E9103C8/

Noticed it? Unlike the Temple of Profit and the Spaceport rooms, the Enrichment Labs' room can't be hacked.

So my guess on how to make the Orbs vulnerable:

Spoiler

These three generators will need be shut down first before fighting the Orbs.

The Exploiter Orb (blue that patrols near the Temple of Profit) has targetable Vents and Legs.

The Profit-Taker Orb only has its legs targetable.

Either they function like the Eidolon Synovias where they need to be destroyed first or on a different level, you can destroy them to prevent more attacks.

Any thoughts on this?

You're forgetting the 3rd Spider/Orb which is located at the pond next to the Orokin Dig-site, but other than that this sounds plausible.

Those consoles say "Hack Security" when you walk up to them and I noticed less turrets shooting at me afterwards. I don't believe it has anything to do with the Orbs but I guess we'll see.

Funny if none of the stuff you've found would even be relevant to the fight and all we'll end up needing is those new Corpus Amps coming soon^TM

I didn't know about that Orb honestly. I'll check it out later. Thank you.

I noticed there were a few interactions in the enrichment labs, including a Battacor test range, and a conculyst in some sort of containment. Perhaps there's some sequence to open a window to hack the security terminal. I'm on my own right now, and have no means to test my theories for the time being.

On a side note, theres a window where you can see they're subjecting pieces of the Ostron's Tower to some sort of electrolytic reaction, stripping away the flesh and metal[?]. Doubt it's crucial info but i found it fascinating.

They're clearly drawing power from the sentients in some way, as hinted here in the labs as well as the Valkyr Prime trailer.

Hey, i just hack them, but on enrichment lab i hack in the room that we can interact with batacor shooting a plate, and i end up fight 1 batalyst outside that room, is it a bug or what idk...
