How to Find the Escape Pod
Escape Pods are Dropped Randomly

The drop locations are always random. The escape pods will be dropped from 10 minutes remaining in Hell Gate for body ranks 1-2 , and from 9 minutes remaining in the 'Demon Gate Labyrinth' for body ranks 3-5 .
The Escape Pod is Flashing Yellow
The Escape Pod emits a yellow flashing light. If you can't locate it despite being nearby, look for the flashing beacon to find it more easily.
Note! | This feature was added in the adjustment update on December 18, 2025 (PST). |

Pods are Dropped in 1min Intervals
After the drops begin, additional pods will be dropped approximately every minute into Area 1 (the area where you first land) and Area 2 (the area you can reach after passing through the Judgmenet Gate).
More Escape Pods in Area 2

In both "Hell Gate" and "Demon Gate Labyrinth," escape pods will be dropped a total of three times in the second area, which is located beyond the Judgement Gate . However, be careful with "Demon Gate Labyrinth," as escape pods are only dropped once in the first area.

Find the Escape Pod with the SP Radar

If an Escape Pod is nearby, using the SP Radar will display a yellow wave on the screen, indicating the direction and distance of the Escape Pod. However, be aware that it won't react if you are too far away. Repeat Crouching and Moving to pinpoint its location.
