Horizon Forbidden West: How to capture The Dry Yearn Survey Drone

The Dry Yearn Survey Drone is located in the arid desert region northwest of The Base in Horizon Forbidden West. It's a short way west of a Shellsnapper Site, so unless you're looking for a fight, you should approach it from that direction. The game map displays two marks on the map for all Survey Drones: white for the overall location of the Survey Drone and yellow for the quest to capture the Survey Drone.

The summit of the mountain, north of the white marker and west of the yellow marker, is where you need to go. On that mountain, there are plenty of handholds, so you can climb up from any direction. A Generous Valuables Cache, a Greenshine Fragment, and a small mountaintop shelter may be found at the summit. Take a running jump at the Survey Drone: The Dry Yearn while it hovers near the shelter.

If you just take a regular leap, you'll most likely miss it and tumble down the mountain. Once you've brought the Survey Drone: The Dry Yearn to the ground, search it for Survey Drone Module 143, then reconnect it with the console in GAIA's room at The Base.
