This blast does not cause damage, but can potentially cause fall damage if you are blasted off a ledge. If the player fails an OSD defense mission, the OSD will be destroyed, disappearing in a similar fashion to the supply crates on the other maps and blasting back all nearby entities. The OSD itself will disappear a few seconds after all of its items have been dispensed. Keep in mind that the items are dispensed directly onto the floor, so be sure to pick everything up before they de-spawn. At this point, the player may simply walk up to the OSD and select the new 'Eject Items' option to receive their rewards. Once all the waves are completed, a musical cue will play and the message 'OSD defense complete!' will appear to all nearby players. Once all the enemies in a wave are killed, the next wave will begin after a few seconds, signified by a musical cue.

Once the defense mission has been initiated, the OSD can be approached at any point (or looked at with a Spyglass) to see its remaining health, what wave is currently active, how many waves until the defense mission is complete, and how many hostiles are remaining in the current wave. However, keep in mind that deactivating the shield is an irreversible option and it cannot be brought back once it has been turned off. Alternatively, the player can choose to prematurely deactivate the shield if they wish by walking up to the OSD and choosing the 'deactivate shield' option. Once it is destroyed, it cannot be brought back, and the OSD will become susceptible to damage. This force-field will protect the OSD from the waves of corrupted creatures, but will shrink as it absorbs damage. There are 4 different types of OSDs, each one varying in difficulty, health, and potential rewards.Īn OSD defense mission is initiated by simply approaching it, which will cause a force-field to spawn around it, beginning the first wave. The Orbital Supply Drops occasionally fall from the sky and land in various areas in the Wasteland outside the city on Extinction.
