Sizing Things Up is one of the Frozen Trail quests Celeste hands out, and it keeps you entirely inside the new Pendola Pass map, which carries a difficulty rating of 3 of 5. The task is to inspect a dead Emperor up close. You photograph one leg, analyze a second, then dig a part out of the snow near its base and carry it home. Most of the route is covered on foot, so pack for a long walk rather than a fight.
Quick answer: Keep a camera in your Safe Pocket, photograph the Emperor’s leg by the Old Town bridge, analyze the leg south of Railroad Junction, then recover the ARC Conductive Coupler from the buried payload at the Emperor’s base and extract to turn it in to Celeste.
What to bring before the raid
Only one quest item needs protecting at the end, so a free loadout or a lightly kitted personal loadout is fine. Celeste gives you a Basic Camera at no cost when the quest begins, and either camera model clears the photo step.
- Take a Basic Camera or Advanced Camera and store it in your Safe Pocket, where it stays with you if you are downed.
- Pack several Adrenaline Shots to cover the lengthy stretches separating the objectives.
- A Shield Recharger and Medical Bandages for emergencies.
- An augment that gives you a Safe Pocket, since the final part must be extracted with you.
The first two objectives can be split across separate runs, but reaching the base and pulling the payload have to happen in the same run, because you must extract while carrying the coupler.
Pendola Pass objective route
A Bully frequently patrols here, dealing 85 damage with a body strike as well as firing long-range missiles. It is hostile and closes in quickly; unless you are equipped to take it on, stay out of its sight and avoid drawing its focus, particularly when alone. Skulkers may wander through the snow nearby too.
Extract from Pendola Pass and turn in the coupler
Leaving Pendola Pass works differently from extraction on other maps. Call in a pod with a radio beacon; it holds up to three Raiders. Follow its green light to the landing site and board. Alternatively, ride the Gondola or surrender with a free loadout for a quick return. Keep the coupler in your Safe Pocket until extraction is complete.
Once in Speranza, go to the quests tab, pick Celeste, then press Claim to hand in the ARC Conductive Coupler. The quest switches to complete and the rewards appear in your inventory, confirming the delivery. This permanently satisfies Celeste’s request.
Sizing Things Up rewards
| Reward | Amount |
|---|---|
 Adrenaline Shot | 3 |
 Exodus Technical Handbook | 1 |
| Bettina I | 1 |
 Heavy Ammo | 60 |
| XP | 5,000 |
The Bettina I is an Epic assault rifle that uses Heavy Ammo, weighs 11, and is available in levels I through IV. Its firing speed is low, but each round deals substantial damage; Bigger Mag, Semi-Auto, and X-Rounds offer further improvements. Complete the quest once to unlock the rifle without using crafting materials, making it an easy way to add it to your arsenal.
The three Adrenaline Shots and 60 Heavy Ammo slot neatly back into the kit you used for this run, so you can turn the quest in and head straight into the next Frozen Trail task with the Bettina already in hand.
