How to complete scan Sparkleaf bioprinters in South Relay in Marathon

Marathon has some really difficult contracts to complete, and one of them involves scanning two Sparkleaf bioprinters in South Relay.

Finding South Relay isn’t a difficult task, as it’s a named location on the Perimeter map. However, the exact spots of the two bioprinters are hidden. For some inexplicable reason, their markers appear when you’re less than 20m away, making it a bigger challenge.

This guide should help to solve your problem by helping you find both of them.

How to find the Sparkleaf bioprinters in South Relay in Marathon

Completing the scans is one part of the Data Reconstruction contract that can appear randomly for you. This is certainly one of the more rewarding contracts, but it will take longer to complete. The first step of the contract requires you to find the two Sparkleaf bioprinters.

I have marked the locations of both bioprinters in the image above. However, it’s a rough estimation of where you need to be. Let’s find out the location of both. To find the first, we have to reach the exact spot where you can find the UESC comms antenna that has to be sabotaged as part of the introductory contracts.

The first bioprinter is in the room that holds the antenna on its roof. Once you reach the location, you’ll find a cyan colored room. Enter through the door, and move close to the other door. Don’t exit, and just wait for the quest marker to come up. The bioprinter is located to the left of the room.

To find the second one, move to the central area of the South Relay location. Once you’ve reached the marked spot (refer to the first image), you’ll find a door opening to your left (image below).

The door has a white container in front of it. Enter the room using the door, and you’ll find your second bioprinter. Once you enter through the door, the marker will show the exact location.

Interact with the bioprinters to complete the scan. This task is easier to complete if you have another player with the same contract. In that case, you don’t need to find the second Sparkleaf bioprinter. Scanning either one twice (once by you and the other by your teammate) gets the job done (for both of you).

The Equitable Distribution 3/4 contract in Marathon is a slightly trick quest to complete, and the second task involves delivering Unstable Gunmetal resources to DCON.

This task combines some of the basics that you’ll need to master in Marathon. Unstable Gunmetal is a random resource that you can find on your run. However, the DCON is located at specific locations. Let’s look at how you can complete this task and complete the Equitable Distribution 3/4 contract.

How to find Unstable Gunmetal in Marathon

As I said earlier, the Unstable Gunmetal is a relatively common item, but it doesn’t have a fixed location. You can typically find it within containers and boxes while searching different locations on your run. You’ll need seven of them (keep note if you’re getting more than one at a specific spot).

Once you find them, add the items to your backpack and keep repeating the method until you have seven. You can then proceed towards finding the DCON on the Perimeter map to deliver the Unstable Gunmetal.

How to deliver Unstable Gunmetal in Marathon

The first task is to locate the DCON. Typically, I prefer going east from the Station POI, where the DCON is located on the roof of a building. I have marked the spot in the image below to help you find the spot.

Once you arrive, take a ladder to reach the DCON, which appears like a box. Open the box, and add seven Unstable Gunmetal to its inventory. Then interact with the DCON once again to complete the task and finish the contract.

Doing so gets you extra Rep to rank up the Traxus faction, and you can unlock more rewards and upgrades for your builds.
