10/3/2017 - Edited again to incorporate some suggestions from Chin and Antomas. Should be a little more efficient now.
Edited to incorporate Chin's suggestion - Doing that also opened up some later efficiencies thanks to the extra free slots. So the below is now v2!
Hi all, Lytnyng here. Spent some time today writing up this Kaidan Container Key Run. Much came from my poorly remembered run with Etarial - definitely the start of it - THANKS ETARIAL! The rest is from bopping around and messing with this over the past few days. I do not claim that this is the most efficient route. I'm sure Etarial's actual route is more efficient, but I only ran with him once and didn't remember all the details. I did actually run this while writing it down so I know it will work as long as you start with a clear slate for side missions. These are all side missions - no main missions here. I know there are a couple other keys you can get inside some main missions. If you have a way to make this more efficient, please share. I'm just doing this to help out people looking for a route - no ego in it for me. If you run this, you'll end up with 21 container keys. No idea how long it takes once you get good at it - I'm guessing it can go pretty fast - I expect under an hour. So have fun grabbing distills outside Elites, Lairs, and Scenarios!...
