Mastering the Vertara Drill is critical for survival in The Alters, where your environment poses constant dangers. New users often face initial challenges with its mechanics—here’s a breakdown to simplify the process.

Operating the Vertara Drill

Craft the device at the workshop assembly station. Once produced, locate the mineral blockage near Rapidium deposits outside. Unlike conventional tools, this drill requires strategic placement. Activate the tool menu (Q key or controller shoulder button) and select it to reveal a marked installation zone.

Position the unit precisely within the indicated area before activation. Align yourself behind the device and initiate the laser pulse to disintegrate obstructions. Each operation consumes one energy cell, necessitating regular replenishment through workshop fabrication.
