To hack the turrets to fight for the squad, run forward and interact with the Remnant console on the right hidden behind cover. The Remnant console on the left hidden by cover will extend blast shields and shield chargers (bubbles) will appear if interacted with. Either way, defeat the enemies and head into the second room.

- When you enter the Northern Room, there will be a pillar sticking out of the pit and three Remnant Consoles that can be interacted with. With the door to your back, there is a left console, a middle console, and a right console.
- You have to interact with the consoles in the correct order so that additional pillars are raised to the correct heights to access platforms high up in the Northern Room.
- Use the right console and this makes the central column even with the floor.
- Use the left console and three columns come up from the floor to the needed heights.
- Jump up to the short column, then jump up to the medium column, then jump up to the tall column, then face to the north where a platform is located higher up, and then finally jump up to the platform with a Remnant console. You can interact with the console but it is broken and doesn't do anything.
- Face to the east and you will see another platform. Jump up to the platform.
- Face to the west and there is another platform at the same height a distance away. Jump over to the platform and there is a lootable container on the platform. Jump down once the container is looted.
