Quick answer

Proxima Location & Lightning Build

Enter Shattered Beacon northeast of Blackridge Pass Beacon and reach the body at the rear. Proxima's strongest documented role is Lightning area clear, but the observed result depends heavily on Axatana and matching equipment.

Route

What to do

  1. 1Start from Blackridge Pass Beacon and travel northeast.
  2. 2Enter Shattered Beacon and progress to the rear rather than searching the overworld edge.
  3. 3Interact with Proxima's body to claim the Shell.
  4. 4Confirm Axatana and Lightning access before copying the documented area-clear setup.

The area-clear role

Proxima is described as a Lightning-focused room clearer. The key word is focused: the available test does not present the Shell as a gear-agnostic answer. Axatana and a matching Lightning setup are described as central to the observed performance.

That dependency is useful planning information. If your current progression does not provide the same weapon, status support, or sidearm, treat Proxima as conditional rather than assuming the Shell itself guarantees the result.

Patch and equipment context

Balance Patch 1 improved Axatana light-attack tracking. The patch fact is developer-posted, while the Proxima pairing is community-tested; combining them does not turn the build into an official recommendation.

The planner surfaces both layers separately. It also avoids calculating a post-patch damage total because the current formula and complete equipment stats are not documented.

FAQ

Common questions

Where is Proxima?

At the rear of Shattered Beacon, northeast of Blackridge Pass Beacon.

Why is Proxima a conditional recommendation?

The documented area-clear setup depends strongly on Axatana and Lightning context.

Was Axatana changed?

Yes. Balance Patch 1 improved its light-attack tracking.

Does another weapon make Proxima bad?

No such claim is supported. An undocumented pairing is treated as unknown, not incompatible.
