How do I get out without losing stuff

[Sprigatito420]

I want to leave bounties in open-world areas without losing stuff like pickups. I've learned that 'abandon' is bad, but failing the bounty lets me go. Though, I have been stuck in Terralyst hunts until daytime because it's the only way to fail the bounty. Reasons to leave including bugs, no squad members, not enough time etc. Is there a safe way out?

You can literally just exist any oipen-world area the way you enter and keep all your stuff. Anytime you leave an open-world area just go back to the big doors at the entrance and enter the room/elevator. That'll take you back to the corresponding hub area with no loot loss.

Go back to cetus via the gates you came in from

You can always leave your group and enter the gate into Cetus.

All collected loot? Even when there's an active bounty?

Yeah, you keep what you get up to the point you failed on the bounty. I have had to fail multiple bounties on Deimos for bugs during Halloween event and would get my rewards up until the point I failed the bounty.

Except when I was left on Orb Vallis after an hour running Thermia Fissions, returning to Fortuna said; Mission Failed and I lost everything so this is very much not correct. Even if you try exiting with an active Bounty stage it will say Mission Failed and you will lose everything. The only safe way out is to start the Bounty phase then run until you see- "Abandoning objective in 00:10" or to that effect and let this expire. The Bounty will fail but you can safely leave via the normal means retaining all loot obtained.

Except it does take all earnings if there is an active Bounty phase and you have the Abandoning objective timer still active. Host migration issues too if fellow Tenno leave before you as I learned running a Thermia Fracture once. The team left gradually leaving two of us, my teammate had to head to bed so I stayed for a little until the migration completed and then saw on entering Fortuna's lift- Mission Failed and I lost almost two hours of work.

You still get the Bounty rewards in that situation @(PSN)Claudija. Dropped loot is treated differently which Thermia is a part of, but you keep your Bounty earnings up to that point.

In that regard, usual display glitch. I have had it say everything is lost, including bounty rewards, checked my inventory, had the actual bounty rewards deposited.

Quick vid showing it keeps at least the bounty (lol it kind of just cuts off at the end, but ya see the Aya and Endo);
