Gear and mastery rewards
Collect occasional gear drops from regular Glyphids
Regular Glyphids provide a secondary, chance-based gear source when a run does not center on a Dreadnought.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Collect occasional gear drops from regular Glyphids
Combat encounters during any dive with regular Glyphids
Before you go
- Start a mission you can clear without relying on random gear drops.
- Have a build able to handle the enemies along the route.
- Be ready to collect visible gear drops before advancing or extracting.
Farming steps
- Choose a dive based on its mission objective, not on a promised enemy drop.
- Advance through the stage and fight Glyphids encountered along the route.
- After combat, scan the area for a gear piece among the drops.
- Move over to collect gear you find before leaving the area.
- Continue the mission rather than waiting for additional enemies specifically for gear.
- Finish the objective and extract to bank the run.
- Review collected equipment between dives and equip a useful improvement.
- Treat this as bonus gear: the chance is smaller than the guaranteed Elimination Dreadnought drop.
- If dependable gear is the main goal, choose an Elimination dive and target its Dreadnought.
Repeat, collect and use
This is repeatable across dives, but each regular Glyphid drop is chance-based and no gear item is guaranteed from a particular enemy or run.
Common mistakes
- Assuming every kill yields gear: ordinary enemy drops are a smaller chance.
- Camping for more enemies: continue the objective and let combat happen naturally.
- Leaving a visible item behind: check the area before advancing.
When to stop or switch
Stop treating regular enemies as a gear farm when combat slows your mission progress; switch to Elimination boss encounters for a guaranteed boss gear piece.
