2. ⚔️ Tips and preparation for the Lockdown event
- ✅ At the start of the match, try to eliminate other teams at different points of interest to facilitate the Lockdown event.
- ✅ A team composition with a Triage (to apply the effect of antivirus packs to the entire team) and a Thief (to scout the points of interest) is valuable.
- ✅ Bring plenty of ammo and heals: at least three packs of patch kits and shield kits, and as much ammo as you can afford.
- ✅ Bring the yellow antivirus packs (that say HC), cardio kicks to move quickly between points of interest, and explosives to handle groups of enemies.

3. 🚀 How to start and complete the Lockdown event
- ✅ When the Lockdown event starts, run to the indicated point of interest.
- ✅ After completing the lockdown at a point of interest, there is a random time before the next one activates, so try to finish each one as quickly as possible.
- ✅ The third container offers the most valuable items.

4. 🛡️ Use of the antivirus pack and buff status
- ✅ If you have a Triage on the team with medical drones, when they use their antivirus kit, it will apply to the entire team.
- ⚠️ The Triage buff does not give the full duration of the antivirus pack.
- ✅ You can see the status of the antivirus pack buff in the lower right of the screen and in a bar above your health bar.

5. 📦 Finding and activating the containers
- ✅ Look for the containers by the blue light they emit, which is directed towards the center of the ship.
- ✅ First, find the "lockdown drive" on the ground to be able to interact with the container.
- ✅ Activating the container will cause three waves of enemies to appear, the last with a bot with a purple shield.
- ✅ Finishing each phase as quickly as possible is crucial to completing the event.
- ✅ Don't forget to take the "lockdown drive" to take it to the next point of interest.

6. 🐈 Theory about Kie and the Lockdown points of interest
- ✅ The player mentions having seen/heard Kie (a ghost cat mentioned in the game's codex) at all the points of interest where the Lockdown event took place.
- ✅ He speculates that the UESC might be trying to lock up Kie.

7. 💰 Loot and final tips for extraction
- ✅ The containers offer valuable items, with the value increasing at each point of interest.
- ✅ At the last point of interest, the player was knocked down by a Rook, which highlights the importance of being attentive even to seemingly weak enemies.
- ✅ The third container has a lot of purple loot, which will be valuable for upgrades in the full game.
- ✅ With little time remaining, the team heads to the nearest extraction.
- ✅ Stay focused on the map while waiting for the next point of interest to appear.
- ✅ Push a point of interest at the beginning, try to deal with the teams, and have fun.
