How to Place the Storage Marker in Active Matter

Quick answer: for the Oscillation objective, take the Storage Marker into a Factory raid and place it inside an eligible container. This marker is a contract item for the investigation; it is not a Shelter storage-capacity upgrade.

Before you deploy

• Read the exact objective in your current Investigation panel; task wording and availability can change between builds.
• Community documentation places Oscillation under Monolith access Epsilon and lists a 3,000 Monolith Token unlock cost. Confirm the requirement in your own game before spending tokens.
• The marker is documented as being supplied for the objective or appearing near the contracting operative. Check the objective inventory before leaving spawn.

How to place the Storage Marker

1. Select the Oscillation Investigation and confirm that the active stage says to place a Storage Marker in a container in Factory.
2. Enter Factory or a Factory raid variant named by the objective. Do not substitute another raid map.
3. Use the in-game objective/map cue and the marker's proximity signal, if shown, to locate a valid container. Community reports describe the target as an openable container; follow the interaction prompt in your current build.
4. Place the marker inside the container and check that the objective updates before extracting. The community wiki documents the item as consumed on extraction, so do not expect it back in Shelter storage.

If the objective does not complete

• Re-read the active stage and verify that it names Factory; the Investigation can contain objectives across different raids.
• Check that you used the mission marker and placed it in a container, rather than leaving it nearby or placing it in a different object.
• If no marker or interaction prompt appears, check the objective loadout and current patch notes, then report a reproducible issue with the raid, stage and build number.

Evidence boundary: the objective route and unlock details are community-documented, not a complete official walkthrough. Use the in-game Investigation panel as the final authority. See the community Oscillation reference and the Storage Marker entry.
