Area MC5

Area MC5 exists in two forms:

1. As the entrance to the Neocron world for a new runner. Once you exit you cannot return to this version.
2. A challenging area for capped players in the Wastelands, offering powerful items and rare item parts as loot.

New Runner MC5

Inside MC5. The first thing you will see on entering the Neocron World.

Within the relative safety of MC5, new runners have the opportunity to get to grips with the game and earn some starter cash before departing for the city. You cannot return to his version of Area MC5 once you exit.

Mission

You can accept a mission for a sizable sum of extra NC credits and XP, the Area MC5 Mission (click for mission walkthrough). Afterward, Lorcan also has a mission (3x Solantium), upon completion of which he will forward the player to Ezra Reid who also has a mission (2x entrails), further on to Tasha with her mission (kill 5 small rattlesnake), on to Geordi with his mission (see his wiki page) and then to Wesley with a final mission (5x wood, 2x metal plate).

The items gathered from killing the mobs along the mission chain can be sold to the nomad traders at their camp in the area.

If all missions are done, one enters Neocron with a hand full of useful starter weapons, a set of armor, about 12000 credits and a rank of about 7 =~ 34 sum of all main skill levels.

Area MC5 forms the start and the end of the Neocron journey, or it did originally. While much more high-level content has been added to the game over the years there is still only one source of the most powerful implants in the wasteland, the MC5 Base Commander and the parts he carries. You can return here to battle him and his security personnel in the conquest of rare parts to assemble for the coveted MC5 Implant Chips. .At first he was located inside the same base you start the game in, but due to concerns over map bugs he has been moved to a hill not far from the entrance to the MC5 complex itself.

Area MC5 can be found in the Wastelands sector H 14, but unlike all other wasteland sectors which can be simply walked into from anywhere, most of the paths into sector H-14 are blocked either by large fences or by the sheer cliffs of the canyon area of the northeastern wastes. There are several openings in the fence, the one north of Tesla Factory (entering H14 from the east) in the northeast section of H15 is most convenient to the base commander. Flying in is also an option but pilots should be wary because a desynch or losing a passenger is liable to be certain death. The fences make bringing a non-flying vehicle difficult if not impossible, the gates are not large enough to easily admit a rhino 4x4 or other large combat vehicle.

the MC5 mobs are dungeon-grade. Do not let the fact they are found in the open wasteland (now, since they were moved) fool you, they are difficult if not impossible to solo. The base commander has plenty of protection and while the guards do not drop MC5 parts without thinning them out attempting to loot the MC5 Base Commander is suicidal. A full team is best if you plan to farm MC5 implant parts.

Despite being the original endgame area, there are no missions or quests for Area MC5 as a capped character; being a critical source of the best implants necessary for good high-TL builds is more than enough reason to return to your roots.
