ICARUS might seem like a lush, green, hospitable land, but death looms in every corner. The latest survival game released on Steam, ICARUS is gaining momentum quickly for its gameplay mechanics and unique take on the alien world. In the game, you are the Prospector, who has gone off to find the planet ICARUS, intending to extract all the planet’s minerals and make a profit out of it.
How to Get Oxygen in Icarus
The gameplay is simple and quite straightforward, as with many survival games in the market. Any fan of first-person survival shooters would be familiar with the game mechanics. As soon as you land in ICARUS, however, it is a fight to survive. The world of ICARUS has no oxygen, so you will need to find some fast. This guide will help you in acquiring oxygen as well as transporting and processing it.
At Landing Site
Since the air of ICARUS is not of breathable quality, you will need to find a substitute that helps maintain the oxygen levels. Oxite Ores are the answer for that. Luckily there is plenty of it around the terrains of the planet, so all you have to do is mine them. You can find the mined Oxite ores in your inventory, which you can immediately consume to get oxygen. A slower way to consume it would be to place it into your envirsuit’s oxygen slot.
Crafting Oxidizer and Oxite Dissolver
You should be able to craft an Oxidizer on the get-go. You can craft it in the tier 1 blueprint. All you have to do is load it with Oxite. You can consume as much oxygen as you need by pressing F when it is highlighted. It is not wasteful and you will get the required amount.
For an Oxite Dissolver, you would need an Oxygen Bladder. Then you can craft your tier 2 Oxite Dissolver to place the Oxite, Oxygen Bladder, and Sulfur into the machine. The machine will effectively fill up the bladder with the required oxygen. You can then take this on your travels. It is a more convenient way of carrying around oxygen.
Once you have your oxygen supply, you can venture out further to explore without the hassle of keeping a constant eye on the oxygen meter.
