Find its datapad on a ledge below the northwest-to-west side of the site, then return to the main platform and activate the console to claim it.
Where to find Makeshift Chalet
Makeshift Chalet is in northwest Lopside. It is a fort with an open gate and is initially held by the Order, according to Gamer Guides.
How to get the datapad
- Approach the Safe House and search along its northwest or west side for a way down from the main platform.
- Drop to the ledge below to pick up the datapad. It is not beside the capture terminal.
- Use the grapple and the metal wall to climb back up to the main platform.
The location guides describe the datapad as being below the Safe House on its west side, with one specifying the northwestern side. The exact route may be easiest to spot by circling the platform edge.
Claim the Safe House
Once you have the datapad, return to the main platform and activate the capture terminal, also called the Command Console in All Things How. The terminal is outside the intact building; it is separate from the ledge where you collected the datapad.
