Yes. But only when you warp from thw Anomaly. It disappears if you leave the system.

Thanks. Thatās probably why I donāt remember it - itās not there when it would be useful.

There is a really good reason for it to be there and I had to use it once. If you visit one of the featured bases, sometimes you warp into a bad situation. I warped into one base only to find the terrain had filled in and I could not exit thru the door. I was trapped. Then I remembered that strange icon I never use in the Quick Menu. I was very grateful.

My game has bugged at the mission where Iām supposed to acquire a Walker Brain.
Didnāt appear after defeating the walker so I reloaded (at my autosave) & then then the entire walker didnāt appear, leaving me stuck.
Message telling me to aquire the item remains on screen no matter what mission I choose.
I attempted to annoy the Sentinels at a āpillarā but even then no walkers ever appear.
Unfortunately I accidentally triggered the hard-save next to the Pillar while fighting so now I donāt have a pre-mission save to resort toā¦
Hopefully, a bug fix allowing any walker brain to work (including stored) & allows walkers to appear anywhere againā¦or just a mission restart option.

I think the big walkers appear later now than they used to, only after taking down a couple hardframes.

Is it the Pristine Walker Brain you need? You must install the Paralysis beam or whatever it is called and use it on the chicken walker. It has to be undamaged so you cannot destroy the walker in the usual way.
If the mission is working correctly, you will be directed to a monolith with a walker already waiting for you
Yes, that was first revealed in the Epilogue lore, that you can access if you install the Remembrance

This one didnāt drop anything & susequent attempts to trigger walkers just brings hordes of the new sentinels & āwarningsā of a walker but none actually appear.
I do need to alter my MT so I have one weapon equipped to fight which includes the new tech. I used a second, less used MT for the tech but reverted back to āol faithfulā.
I guess Iāll just keep trying.
At least Iām getting practice at fighting these new baddiesā¦

Make sure you paralyze him. I canāt remember if I used a few plasma rounds in between but it was paralyzed when it went down.

Yes I just watched someone else take down the walker with their ship and it still worked. The key is to go to the site Laylaps sends you to which should be a monolith with a walker sitting beside it.
I love this update but this quest seems to be even more particular about the order of things than others. Most of the steps are opened by speaking to Laylaps and the little bugger runs away every time. I spent half the quest chasing it down.

I donāt think the location matters as I am fairly sure I got mine during a fight at a base. But not 100%.
Laylaps, if you pop in exomech and back out he will be right in front of you.

Yesā¦it is tempting to use the Paralyser on him.
I did this initially but it didnāt drop the canister. The radar said it was there (cog symbol) but it wasnāt. By reloading my autosave (where I landed nearby) I somehow glitched the Walker into not appearing.
I figured Iād just get another walker since the stored brains in my inventory donāt count.
This resulted in a lot of fighting & then warnings about walkers but then none showing up.
(Then I accidentally over-wrote my pre-mission hardsave by triggering a location save point during battleā¦oops).
Laylaps only tells me we are good companions or something & doesnāt re-instigate the proper location no matter what type of load I attempt.
Might put in a bug reportā¦

I have paralysed my brain on a regular basis for nearly 70 years. It doesnāt seem to cause any major problems.
Brains are over-rated.

Solved it.
I used a Cartographic Map to locate Manufacturing Facilities, Observatories etc.
They often have Walkers āparkedā nearby.
Caused a rather large disturbance with many Sentinels quite cranky at me but eventually I aquired a brain & the game ticked over to the next step. I have now finished the mission.
Was a bit nervous for a while there as this is my big hour Legacy Save.
Anyway. All sorted now

You donāt have to engage in battle royale to find these places. They are randomly scattered through the landscape - you can find them just by flying around, exploring.
