Gear and mastery rewards
Raise gear rarity through Player Rank
Player Rank improves the odds of higher-rarity gear, so routine dives contribute to a longer-term equipment goal.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Raise gear rarity through Player Rank
Any dive with gear drops, followed by the between-dive gear screen
Before you go
- Start dives that you can complete reliably.
- Collect gear when it drops, especially from Elimination Dreadnoughts.
- Have an unfinished Player Rank progression goal.
Farming steps
- Choose a mission you can clear while still making progress on your current objectives.
- Complete the main objective and any practical secondary objective shown in the HUD.
- Collect visible drops before advancing or extracting.
- Finish the dive so its run results contribute to ongoing progression.
- Check Player Rank between missions and note whether it has advanced.
- Review collected gear, then equip an upgrade that supports your next clear.
- Repeat with another manageable mission rather than forcing a difficult sector.
- Elimination Dreadnought kills guarantee a gear piece, giving you a dependable equipment source while ranking up.
- Choose a build you can pilot comfortably; failed attempts do not provide a better rarity guarantee.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat dives as long as you want to raise Player Rank and improve high-rarity odds. The process is ongoing; no particular rarity is guaranteed from an individual drop.
Common mistakes
- Expecting rank to guarantee Legendary gear: rank improves the odds, but individual drops remain uncertain.
- Ignoring the dive objective while chasing enemies: complete the mission so the run can contribute to your progression.
- Treating a regular enemy drop as certain: target boss drops when you need a dependable gear pickup.
When to stop or switch
Pause this goal when your rank has advanced and a current item improves your build, then return to rarity farming when you have another useful mission to run.
