“Locate the Cache in Cell D-02–106” is an optional objective during the Echoes of the Past mission. It is revealed to players as they search the Prisoner Records at the D-Block Guard Post Workstation. Even though your main objective is to “Search Kryx’s Cell for Information,” it’s worth unlocking both Section 01 and Section 02 cells for some extra loot.

Here is how to reach Cell D-02–106.

- Locate Section 2: Follow the blue objective maker leading to the prison cell cache. Use your boostpack to navigate across the broken walkway, landing you directly in Section 2 of the prison.

- Identify the Cell: Once in Section 2, look for cell names starting with “D-02-…”. Cell D-02–106 will stand out because it can’t be opened with a Digipick. You’ll need to find a security switch to open it.

The steps below will guide you straight from cell D-02–106 to the Security room, where the switch to open all cells in Section 02 is:

- Exit Section 2: Walk out of the Section 2 cell area by going up the stairs in the first picture.

- Locate the Shower Room and Kitchen Doors: Once you reach the top of the stairs, you can jump down to your left. This is where the Shower room is (keep this in mind for a follow-up objective during Echoes of the Past)

- Ascend the Nearby Stairs: Head up the stairs shown in the second picture to reach the Kitchen room. Make sure to explore it and take all the loot.

- Enter the Security Room: Get back to the stairs and head to the next level. You will find the entrance of the Security room.

- Activate the D-Block Section 02 Cell Release Switch: Click the switch next to the broken Intercom device to unlock the door to cell D-02–106 and all other cell doors in Section 02. There is also a Weapon Rack to loot nearby.

Now you can head back to Cell D-02–106, loot the Weapon Cache, and everything else inside it.

- Grab Your Rewards: Inside the cell, you’ll find:

- A Weapon of varying type and rarity: I got a Furious Assasin’s Beowulf (Rare). I think it’s worth saving and reloading the game a few times before you open the Weapon Cache, as you may get a better weapon.

- Ammo for the Weapon you found

- Fragmentation Mine

- Cryo Mine

- Various ammo types

- Two Digipicks

- Two Cutters

The cutters might not be very useful since you should already have one, but the rest of the loot is worth your while.
