The Introducing: Traxus contract is a priority mission to complete in Marathon, and it’s one of the more challenging quests.
The contract consists of three parts, but you need to finish all of them on a single run. Moreover, the contract also requires you to go up against an extremely dangerous UESC enemy. This guide will help you understand more about how you can complete the contract without any additional trouble.
Marathon Introducing: Traxus contract walkthrough
The Introducing: Traxus contract can be divided into the following parts.
- Hack terminal at Intersection, Complex, or Bio-Research
- Acquire the Shipping Manifest from the UESC Commander
- Scan the nearby stacked shipping container before it is picked up
Hack terminal at Intersection, Complex, or Bio-Research
For this, you can pick up any of the three named locations that can be found on the Dire Marsh map. I chose to complete it at Intersection, but you can go for a different one if you want. The location of the terminal will be slightly different based on which location you’re opting for.
If you go for Intersection as I did, the terminal will be located on the second floor of the building shown in the image above. You can take one of the two side entrances to enter and then take the stairs. Once you’re close to the terminal, you’ll be able to interact and hack it to complete the first step.
For your benefit, I have marked the location of the terminal (at Intersection) in the screenshot above.
Acquire the Shipping Manifest from the UESC Commander
Once the hack is complete, the UESC Commander will appear at your location. He is really easy to spot since there will be a pink icon highlighting his presence. He has a massive shield in front of him. To defeat him easily, shoot at him from the second floor to land clean headshots. Do note that the commander won’t be alone at the location.
Scan the nearby stacked shipping container before it is picked up
There are two containers in front of the lab building at Intersection. The correct container is the one on top. Climb up, and you’ll get the prompt to scan it. Once the scan is complete, this will finish the Introducing: Traxus contract. When you’re scanning the container, you’re prone to getting shot.
Completing the contract officially introduces you to the Traxus faction and opens up more options for you.
