Helpful Guide: How To Get And Find Your Special Exotic Coin In Icarus

In order to get the necessary currency, which can be obtained from the Orbital Workshop, (available during the Rainbow Six: Deep Vein Extraction quest), you must fulfill the necessary conditions, thus completing the Rainbow Six: Deep Vein Extraction quest.

Some tips ⇓ Recommendations

⇒ Before embarking on a Deep Mining mission, you have to make sure you have Reflector scanning device. Before starting your mission, you must also install the latest patch.

⇒ By downloading the patch, you will make your task much easier, saving a lot of time by avoiding errors and mining efficiently.

⇔ If you don't load the fix beforehand, you probably won't be able to mine, even if you have the extractor blueprint.

Find purple coin in the "Deep Seam Mining" task

Perform the required action:

• • The mission "Mining the deep lode" will take place in South Glacier.

• • First of all, familiarize yourself with the terrain so that everything goes smoothly and you can get the goods without too much trouble.

• • Head southeast of the ship crash site until you see the frozen ravine.

• • Since you are going to be here for a while and need a safe haven, we strongly recommend that you establish a base here.

• • Once you're done with that, it's time to find a cave full of cave worms. We know that sounds unpleasant, but you also need money.

• • Head northeast of the ravine and reach marker O13/P13. ⇒ Here you will see a cave. Don't worry if you can't find a cave here, because it's probably covered by the mountains.

• • To deal with her, grab an ax and clear a path until you finally see her.

• • As soon as you enter, the worm will attack you to defend its territory.

• • Use the walls to escape their attacks and kill them with sniper fire when you can. When the area is clear, you can also use the cave as cover.

• • Lastly, you can start mining exotic currency by smashing the entire cave and walls. Once you manage to find a few, place them in the vault of the ship.

• • There's a chance you'll get more than one node, so search the entire area carefully.

Placing the purple coin in the transport ship's inventory

Perform the required action:

Once you have obtained the rare goods, place them safely in the cargo slots on the ship, otherwise they will disappear as soon as you leave the planet. If you are hungry for more of this currency, you have the option to repeat this mission as many times as you like.

Each round will take about 30 minutes, but it's worth it, as it's very hard to find exotics in Icarus.

Purple Exotic Coin in the Orbital Workshop

You do not need to check the availability of Exotics in the in-game mail as you normally do with Gold currency. You will receive it as soon as you put it in your ship's inventory before leaving the planet. You will also receive the purple coin even if you complete the quest offline.

Find exotic currencies elsewhere

In addition to the Deep Lode Mining quest and the Orbital Workshop, you can also find a huge circle on the map that marks places where exotic currency can potentially be found.

The purple coin is found at the bottom of an indentation located in the southeastern region of O13.

You will also find several pieces next to the place where the oxite was found earlier. They are found in the northeastern region of O14.

Lastly, you can find some exotic currency near a small hill at the north end of map O14.
