Elimination and Escort Duty
Clear Elimination stages for Dreadnought loot crates
Elimination stages offer a Dreadnought chest reward alongside campaign progress and a guaranteed gear drop.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Clear Elimination stages for Dreadnought loot crates
Elimination mission track, at the sector’s Dreadnought objective and post-boss reward
Before you go
- Unlock and select an Elimination sector.
- Bring a build suited to surviving the stage and defeating its Dreadnought.
- Review the main and secondary objectives before launching.
Farming steps
- 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.
- 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.
