GATE Scientist Bobblehead

The GATE Scientist Bobblehead is a collectible found in the Control Center of Cascade Laboratories. It is not obtained through a normal container or enemy drop; instead, it is hidden above the server room and requires a bit of traversal to reach. The area is guarded by turrets at first, and after those are disabled, a Breacher can be encountered moving through the server room below the collectible.

From the server room, the bobblehead is reached by working upward through the ventilation route above the room. A Jump Pad or a Ramp (Small) can be used to access the vent, and once inside, additional furniture such as a Small Shelf can be placed to create the extra height needed to keep climbing. With a Gravity Dampener or a Dangling Gravity Cube, it is possible to make the final jump out of the vent and onto the exterior ledge where the bobblehead sits. There is also a Barrel on the raised area near the broken floor that can be used to help with the second step if placed carefully.

• An alternative route is to build a ramp from the outside using a Ramp (Small) and Bridges to reach the top of the area directly.
• Another option is to reach the roof by sprint-jumping off a nearby railing while using the Dangling Gravity Cube; a Jump Pad makes this method safer.
• Because the collectible is located above the server room rather than inside it, the main challenge is gaining enough vertical reach, not navigating combat.
• The route is easiest if you bring at least one building aid, since the vent climb may require a staged setup rather than a single jump.
