Scarlet Nexus has its fair share of collectibles and gear, but some of them are certainly more valuable than others. Example: Environmental Data Items, which can be returned to Satori’s Shop for special items and used to complete a series of in-game side quests. As such, you will definitely want to know how to find environmental data items in Scarlet Nexus quickly and efficiently.
That is why we wrote this guide on the subject. Here are the best tips and tricks for finding these items with minimal hassle.
How to find environmental data on Scarlet Nexus
To begin with, it should be noted that each data in the environment in Scarlet Nexus is linked to a specific area.
This can make finding specific types of data much easier than you might think. For example, the abandoned metropolitan environment data can be found in, you guessed it, the abandoned metropolitan area.
Likewise, they will stand out from the rest of the elements that you can collect in each area. This is because they appear as shiny, floating white cubes, as opposed to floating green cubes that denote regular elements.
As for where they can be found, it’s pretty standard for video game collectibles. If you go in the opposite direction to the main quest marker for one of the areas in Scarlet Nexus, you will have a high chance of finding the data cubes. They are also usually found in parts of the map that you are not likely to explore without good reason, such as far corners and dead ends. The map even marks data points with a yellow arrow if you get close enough.
How to use environment data
You also don’t have to worry too much about what to do with the data items in your environment once you get them.
It quickly becomes clear that environmental data is used to complete side quests and get items in the Commerce tab of the store. The store will even let you know when data can be exchanged for other items, as long as you use the wish list feature.
However, it is worth saying that you should never sell environmental data on Scarlet Nexus. While the option is available to you on a regular basis, you will still get a significantly less valuable reward than turning it in for a quest or exchanging it for a specific reward from the store.
