Pick up the distress signal — Paradigm Shipping poster
Mechanic asks you to investigate a distress signal from the Paradigm Shipping icebreaker. The poster spawns on Ground Zero at multiple locations — community sources cite the TerraGroup building staircase as the most common; wiki-verified images confirm exterior shed walls and indoor warehouse walls as additional spawn points.

- Ground Zero (recommended), Customs, or Woods — multiple poster spawns
- Keys
- Paradigm Shipping poster (quest item — pick up in raid; OR Intel Center L3 radio to skip)
Warning
The Paradigm Shipping poster is NOT secure-container-able (wiki-confirmed) — if you die carrying it, it's gone and you redo the raid.
Tip
What this opens: the Boreas storyline (patch 1.0.5.0, released 2026-05-25) — parent chapter for the Icebreaker map. Two ways to start:
- Intel Center L3 in your Hideout — the radio starts Boreas directly, no raid needed.
- In-raid poster pickup — for players without Int Center L3.
- Ground Zero (recommended) — multiple spawns on the 2nd floor of the TerraGroup building.
- Customs — dorms 3F (wall opposite the garbage stairs), laboratory 1F (east door), office 1F pillar.
- Woods — cabin on the hill SW of the new gas station.
