A Heavy Burden Overview and Rewards

Location and Mission Info

A Heavy Burden Mission Info
Starting Location	Saw Mill, Wild Island
Quest Giver	Scar
Mission Description
Getting to Wild Island turned out to be far more difficult than I anticipated as the Noontiders are extremely suspicious of outsiders. The only way to get to the Island entails retrieving and delivering an important shipment, since the Noontiders assigned to transport it have gone missing.

A Heavy Burden side mission will only unlock if you don't show the Unusual PDA to Dr. Dalin and Col. Korshunov, and if you talk to Scar at the Sawmill during the Back to Slag Heap main mission.
