Go up those stairs and enter the 2nd room on the right side. The interior of this room should be dissheveled with static playing on the TV and blood on the bed. The Tracker's Primer should be resting on the round glass table by the window, in between two lounge seats. |

| Tracker's Primer 05 on a table in between 2 bunk beds inside one of the buildings in Argos Extractors Mining Outpost on planet Vectera in the Narion star system.
Players will typically come to this location while doing the main quest Back to Vectera. For players who want to get the skill magazine earlier, head to planet Anselon, since Vectera is one of this planet's moons. After landing on the outpost, walk towards the orange and white building on the right and flip the nearby switch to open up the entrance hatch. Flip the next switch on your right to open up the next hatch and head into the room on the right. Go straight and enter the next room to see another orange hatch on your right side. Walk past it and enter the next room to find the sleeping quarters. Enter the second set of partitions on the right side to see the skill magazine resting on the table between the two bunk beds. |
