Event Locations: Where to Find the Invasion

The event triggers at the top of every hour (XX:00) and randomly selects one of six invasion zones across the map. Be ready to fast travel:
- Wavy Willard’s Water Park – Toxic Valley
- Garrahan Mining HQ & Garrahan Estate – Ash Heap
- Monongah – Savage Divide
- Charleston Capitol Building – Forest
- Dyer Chemical – Mire
- Sparse Sundew Grove – Cranberry Bog
These areas are overrun with alien tech and enemies, so come prepared. No matter the location, you’ll always start by investigating Siphon Kappa.
Full Walkthrough: How to Complete Invaders From Beyond

Phase 1: The Invasion Begins
As the event begins, make your way to the active site and locate Siphon Kappa. Homer Saperstein will contact you remotely, explaining that the aliens are using brainwave siphons to harvest data from Appalachia’s inhabitants. He’s dropped the shield remotely, and your job is to stop the process before the siphoning bar fills. If it does, the event fails and the mothership escapes.
Watch for red glowing siphons and audio alerts—they signal an imminent energy pulse. Anyone nearby will take massive damage, and the siphon progress bar will jump.
Phase 2: Combat and Disruption
To disable a siphon:
- Defeat 30 alien enemies or drones in the area to draw out a commander.
- When the commander appears, defeat them to drop the siphon’s shield.
- Destroy the siphon.
Here’s a breakdown of each siphon phase:
Siphon Kappa
- Boss: Lieutenant Kappa (Cryogenic Alien variant)
- After 30 enemies, Kappa beams in. He’s slightly larger and hits harder than regular troops. Take him down and destroy the siphon.
Siphon Omega
- Missile Barrage Warning: Homer alerts players to airstrikes from the UFO. Look for red targeting lasers and grenade icons on your HUD to dodge them.
- Bosses: Captain Alpha and Captain Omega (Larger alien drones)
- Defeat both drones after killing 30 enemies, then destroy the siphon.
Siphon Zeta
- Enemies: Expect Flatwoods Monsters, Cryogenic and Toxic Aliens, and drones.
- Boss: General Zeta, a three-star legendary alien commander.
- Zeta is heavily armored and regenerates health once when below 50%. Missile strikes are frequent and cover wider areas.
- Kill Zeta and destroy the final siphon to win the event.
