WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Where to farm
Elimination mission track, at the sector’s Dreadnought objective and post-boss reward
Run Elimination when you want to advance that campaign track and claim the reward presented after the Dreadnought encounter. The boss drops a gear item when defeated, and the stage objective also provides a post-boss crate reward. Treat these as separate pickups: collect the dropped gear and interact with or collect the crate as the game presents it. The route works on repeat runs, but each sector’s campaign progress is only needed until its gate is cleared.
Bring a build suited to surviving the stage and defeating its Dreadnought.
Review the main and secondary objectives before launching.
Pick the Elimination sector you want to progress and start the dive.
Follow the stage route toward its objective, mining useful deposits that are along your path.
Complete a secondary objective when it fits the route; it awards Gold and XP.
Choose upgrades that help your weapons deal with the boss while keeping you alive.
Reach the Dreadnought and attack until it is defeated.
Collect the gear item dropped by the boss, then collect the stage’s crate reward as indicated in-game.
Complete the remaining objective and extract or continue the track to bank the run.
Farming tips
The Dreadnought’s gear drop and the crate are distinct rewards; check the ground and reward prompt after the fight.
Favor objective progress and nearby resources over a long detour that could jeopardize the boss clear.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat on later Elimination dives for another boss encounter and its associated rewards. A sector gate only needs clearing once to advance that track; choose another available sector afterward if you want campaign progress.
Common mistakes
Leaving the boss gear behind: move over the drop after the Dreadnought falls.
Assuming the crate replaces the gear drop: collect both rewards separately when shown.
Delaying the objective for distant ore: mine deposits along the route and preserve enough time and health to finish the encounter.
When to stop or switch
Stop repeating the sector when its gate is cleared or you have collected the rewards you wanted. Switch to another open sector when your goal is campaign advancement.
