Getting lost in Off The Grid when it comes to extracting Hexes? You’re not the only one. Many players jump into the game, focusing on the action, only to realize later that understanding how to effectively extract Hexes is key to gaining an edge. This guide will walk you through the process, so you can level up your gear and outplay your enemies with ease. Let’s break it down and get you dominating the game!

What are Off The Grid Hexes?

Hexes are the island’s hidden gems, obtainable through chests or by outplaying other players who’ve already secured them. Each Hex comes in varying rarities, and once you successfully collect and extract them from the island, they become permanently available on your account.

How to Decode Hexes?

Hexes function like loot boxes, containing various in-game assets such as weapons, attachments, skins, cyberlimbs, and cosmetics for your avatar. These items, often NFTs, can be traded or sold in the in-game marketplace, adding a strategic layer to gameplay.

How to Extract Hexes?

To extract a HEX, you'll need to locate one of the six extraction stations scattered across the map. They're hard to miss with their red towers, but be warned, they're hot zones for combat.

Once you grab a HEX, you're automatically marked on the minimap, making you a target for other players. Plus, you'll leave behind a red trail, making it even harder to stay hidden. But don't let that stop you, the rewards are worth the risk.

When you reach the extraction point, load your HEX into the machine. This will alert nearby players, and you'll need to defend the station for 40 seconds to 2 minutes, depending on the rarity of the HEX. During this time, enemies will try to hack the extraction and steal the HEX for themselves. No matter the outcome of the match, the team that successfully extracts a HEX at 100% will have it added to their inventory, ready to be decoded.

A Pro Tip for an Easy Hex Extraction

Here's a smarter way to extract your HEX without the hassle of defending it from other players, but it requires solid timing. What you want to do is wait for the zone to shrink and make sure the extraction point gets covered by the zone. Before the zone completely engulfs the point, drop off your HEX in the Hextractor. The best part? The extraction will continue even after the zone moves on.

With the extraction point outside the zone, anyone trying to stop your extraction will take constant decaying damage, making it a risky move to even approach. Most players won’t dare interrupt, knowing they could die before pulling it off. It’s a cheeky tactic, but it works like a charm if you time it right!

And there you have it! Mastering hex extractions in Off The Grid might seem tricky at first, but with the right strategy and timing, you’ll be dominating the battlefield in no time. So gear up, plan your moves, and get ready to outplay the competition.
