Plant and raise the Vulture in What the coming day prepares for us”, but this device can be found in other places in the open world. To gain access to the Vulture, you need to complete a series of actions and visit several separate objects, after which you will be able to use the modified balloon to your advantage.
The guide provides detailed instructions that will help you lower the Grip through the repeater terminal. Read on to find out how to solve every possible problem with Grif in Atomic Heart.
Lower the neck through the repeater terminal at Atomic Heart
For the first time, Grif will be encountered during the execution of the story quest after the train crash. We will tell you more about how to connect and manage the Vulture below. During the questWhat the coming day prepares for us”, you need to lower the Grif through the terminal to get to the Exhibition Park. From the platform you can see all the necessary objects:
- Air apparatus "Vulture".
- Closed booth with a repeater terminal.
- Tower with the device "Volan".
Next, we will describe in detail how to access the Vulture.
Find the Volan device
Get to tower number six. The tower is located near the shore, not far from the boat station. There is an elevator platform in the center of the base of the building. Step on it and it will automatically rise to the top.
Shuttlec**k stands next to the button that is responsible for the descent of the elevator. Activate it and get access to the Security Terminal.
Open the booth with a video camera
A map opens with dots indicating local surveillance cameras. Choose the one located at the pier of the boat station:
- The camera is on the boat pier next to the closed booth.
- Air apparatus "Vulture".
If the desired camera is not active, it means that it has been destroyed. Then disconnect from the Volan device and wait. After a while, repair drones will repair the video camera.
As soon as you enter the surveillance mode of the desired camera, rotate it until the closed box of the repeater terminal comes into view. Interact with the label on the door to open it.
Plant the Vulture through the repeater terminal
During the descent from the tower, it will already be possible to notice the booth with the terminal. Get to it, then connect to Grif's relay using the bug.
Two commands can be issued through terminal management:
- Neck maintenance.
- Reload the repeater.
The second command is currently blocked, and to release the Vulture, select the first button.
Reach the apparatus and climb onto the Vulture
The Vulture will reset and the balloon will slowly descend. However, you should hurry: below it will linger only for 10 seconds. Therefore, quickly leave the booth and run to the Vulture, which will descend into the water nearby.
As soon as you get close, you will find in the center a large yellow pipe with a pin at the end. Cling to it and wait for the Grif to rise into the air.
If suddenly Grif flew away before they managed to reach the device, then return to the terminal and repeat the descent operation with the help of Grif's maintenance team.
Use the rope to go down to the arena of the park
As soon as the Grif reaches the highest point, the device will release several steel cables in different directions around it. These ropes lead to the ground and you can go down them.
To continue the quest, find the cable that leads to the center of the Park arena. As soon as you see the icon with the activation key, use it and start descending.
At the bottom you have to fight the boss EZHH-7 "Hedgehog".
Answers to questions about Vultures in Atomic Heart [FAQ]
The Vulture apparatus in Atomic Heart is a modern modified balloon. It is used in security systems and is part of the Hive system, performing several functions at once:
- Can locate robots and humans.
- It is a transmitting antenna and is used in communications.
- While in the air, it releases several cables to the ground, along which you can go down.
Vultures are common throughout the open world, found in secret scientific testing grounds, as well as in some story missions. Next, let's take a closer look at how you can use the Vulture.
How to disable and destroy Vultures in the open world
The vulture links the controlled area to the robotic ecosystem. This device is in the air thanks to wind generator. Grif can be controlled through a special Terminal, which stands in small round gray booths. This whole system is necessary to work Factorythat produce robots.
When find a ticket and take a ride on a monorail train, it will be possible to temporarily disable the defense system of all robots in the location using a small bug:
- Find a local booth with a terminal.
- Open the door to the booth using the Security Terminal cameras.
- Hack the terminal with a bug and overload the wind generator.
From these actions, the wind generator will explode. Thus, it will be possible to turn off the Vulture for at least 20 minutes, which means that communication with the factories will be interrupted. While the repair drones will restore the wind generator, you can safely explore the location.
How to raise the Vulture at Range 1
One Vulture is located near the secret training ground. It can be used to open Polygon 1. It happens that a bug happens with the Vulture and it does not rise with time. In this case, there are two possible solutions:
- Load one of the previous saves before interacting with the device, then repeat the algorithm of actions.
- Move as far as possible from the range and Grif, for example, to another Range at number 11, then return and try again.
So solve the problem when Grif does not take off at Range 1.
Why the Vulture does not take off at the range 11
Another Vulture is next to Polygon 11. This device will have to be used to get the key and get inside the secret complex. Here, too, a bug can occur when the Vulture does not take off:
- Try to load one of the previous saves and repeat the process of lifting the Vulture.
- To overcome the fence, instead of the Vulture, use the heaps of garbage and the nearest train cars that are on the railroad.
In this way, you can deal with the problem when the Vulture does not rise at Polygon 11.
We hope that with the help of this guide you have learned how to lower the neck through the repeater terminal. If you have any questions, please leave them in comments - The author of the article will try to help. In a special section on our website, read other useful Atomic Heart guides».
