### Finding the sites

Winter Nexus data-hacking signatures spawn in systems affected by [volatile ice storms](https://wiki.erst.live/books/general/page/how-to-find-the-storms "How to find the storms?") in <span style="color: rgb(45, 194, 107);">HS</span>, <span style="color: rgb(230, 126, 35);">LS </span>and <span style="color: rgb(224, 62, 45);">NS</span>.  
<span style="color: rgb(230, 126, 35);">LS </span>sites are assumed to be the most valuable ones, followed by <span style="color: rgb(224, 62, 45);">NS </span>and then <span style="color: rgb(45, 194, 107);">HS</span>.

<p class="callout info">Exactly 30 minutes after a site despawns (shortly after hacking), a new signature respawns in the same system.</p>

### Unlocking the 2nd canister

In all sites, there's a 2nd canister that only can be hacked if a specific item (from [Yoiul LADs](https://wiki.erst.live/books/yoiul-lads/page/summary-click-me "Summary (click me!)")) has been deposited into Sansha's Stormfield Projector.

In <span style="color: rgb(45, 194, 107);">HS </span>sites a Cryostatic Estimator is required to unlock the 2nd canister

In<span style="color: rgb(230, 126, 35);"> LS </span>sites a Cryostatic Nullifier is required to unlock the 2nd canister

In <span style="color: rgb(224, 62, 45);">NS </span>sites a Cryostatic Suppressor is required to unlock the 2nd canister
