There seems to be heightened interest in the community regarding the smugglers. Shortly after the ACA colonized Arkadia we started finding altered IFN weapons, faps and even revive terminals that carry smuggler marks. Rumor has it that they've adapted a set of armor as well. Recently I stumbled across another rumor that the smugglers had created an actual base somewhere in the jungle regions and that it's been there for months. I couldn't believe it as I'd been all over that region recently, so once again I scoured the jungle on foot, water, and from low altitude in my lancer looking for signs of this supposed smuggler base. I won't give you the tedious play by play on that search but it was many hours of peering behind leaves and examining boulders. Eventually, the search came up fruitless. Not a single boulder or tree out of place, nothing to show evidence of recent smuggler activity. I gave up, found myself at Cobra Digsite and decided to do a little mining. I took my ice dagger and my terramaster 6 and set out. I was a few drops into my run when I slid down an embankment and, what do you know, I find myself staring up at an unusual looking door that definitely wasn't there before. I noticed red and black markings on either side of the door and, with my ice dagger ready at hand, opened the door.... * Note to community, if you find this location please don't post the coordinates here as I love searching for hidden stuff and I'm sure some others do as well. *note to mods, please don't merge this with the other thread on the smuggler base as the OP there wants to keep it "clean" for actual coordinates and I want others to have the fun of searching for it rather than just running to the coords.
No worries Neil. We'll also delete any posts containing the coordinates if anyone tries to spoil the fun.
Hmmm went and had a look, doors opened and had a look inside. Quite a lavish setup the Smugglers have. Can't wait to see what develops from this.
