How to get your first Data Drive
To find Data Drives, go to one of the two uplink stations of the map ( South East Uplink / North Uplink ) located roughly in the center of the map.

What to do with the Data Drives ?
Congrats ! Youd found your first Data Drive.
Now that you have one, it is probably a "Common" Data Drive, not worth much at shops.

To get your Data Drive to a better rarity, you need to find a console somewhere in the uplink stations.

https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/ugc/1788485010721448157/210A2966F2F4BF96B3692111D95D57B0D55EB7BA/?imw=256&&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false
Now that you found the Station..
When you found the station, place your data drive in the red glowing spot.
After this, look at the screen (it should say "DRIVE READY WAITING FOR INPUT) and press F to start the Download.

https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/ugc/1788485010721458206/752379E093B5EE14480ACC6310D8F680264A5DD7/?imw=256&&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false

A loading bar will appear, showing percentages going from 0 to 100. At 100%, your Drive is now 1 quality over the one it was originally in. You can keep "uploading" until your Data Drive reaches the "Lengendary" level of rarity. (the Different levels being "Common" / "Uncommon" / "Rare" / "Epic" / "Legendary" )

https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/ugc/1788485010721462305/80499D99D806D6AAEDA7B8B59795E3EF81DD7203/?imw=256&&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false

You can pull out a Data Drive during an upload, losing the progress towards it's next level.
A Legendary Data Drive will sell for 2000 K-Marts, with value dropping deppending the Rarity.
Time between each upgrades
The time between each upgrades is as follows :
Common > 30s > Uncommon > 60s > Rare > 1m30s > Epic > 2m > Legendary.
WARNING
During an upload, the antenna linked to the Station will open and emit loud noises, warning everyone in the vicinity that someone is using the station.

https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/ugc/1788485010721473631/DD4952BDB9D25FBF8B5190DA98F96DFE52CE2589/?imw=256&&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false

@stiglitz Alright, that's good to know !
stiglitz 18 Apr, 2022 @ 12:31pm 
@Alex Derange yeah recent update bumped the prices of basically everything sellable
AlexDerange  [author] 18 Apr, 2022 @ 9:35am 
@5stars Is it a recent update ? @Stiglitz was saying the price was dropped to 342 K-marks for a legendary.

I guess it's good that it got bumped to 10k, it's even better than it used to be if it's true.

10k K-marks for legendary.

@kak, in the station, so to any of the 3 guilds, look at top, there is a SELL tab. Drag over items, hit sell. Note, I would not sell materials. You often need them later in the game, and you have no warning that it needed, and will take you hours to find another, or that you will 12 of them when the quest comes up. Just sell when home inventory get maxes out, and sell things you can buddy back, like ammo and pistols. Also, if you have a material and have a stack 10, 10 and 3, sell that 3 stack ( you have enough, with the two 10 stacks, and that's a whole slot for just a partial stack). @kakyoin_ , I sent you a friend request, I will go on a run with you if you want.

nah legendarys are definitely 342, commons sell for 30
they nerf'd the **** out of prices
AlexDerange  [author] 21 Mar, 2022 @ 6:48am 
i don't know, maybe he tried to sell a common one, i haven't tried it yet, and if they are really that price, they are probably better for something else
