Earn the Heavy Duty assignment’s crafting materials

The Heavy Duty assignment offers a finite reward of Credits and crafting materials for completing its listed missions.

PC / Global, current base game through Season 6
WHERE & HOW TO FARM

Where to farm

Assignment Board aboard the Space Rig; launch each Heavy Duty mission from its marked node at the Mission Terminal.

Heavy Duty is a one-time assignment route for a set of crafting materials and Credits. Its completion reward includes 50 of each crafting material, 2,500 Credits, and a special helmet. Treat the assignment as a defined stock boost: the reward is tied to finishing its chain, rather than a repeatable material farm. The assignment becomes available after Conquering Hoxxes IV. Use the board’s marked mission nodes to progress, confirm each step registers, then collect the payout and spend the materials on equipment upgrades or Forge crafting.

GET STARTED

How to farm

Before you go

  • Complete the Conquering Hoxxes IV assignment.
  • Have access to the Assignment Board and an available assignment slot.
  • Review the listed Heavy Duty missions before starting so you can plan the full chain.
  1. Open the Assignment Board and locate Heavy Duty.
  2. Accept the assignment and read the current mission list.
  3. At the Mission Terminal, select the node marked for the active step.
  4. Complete that mission’s primary objective and extract successfully.
  5. Return to the board and verify that the assignment advanced.
  6. Repeat for each remaining marked mission until the board records completion.
  7. Collect the Credits, crafting materials, and helmet reward; use the materials for an upgrade or Forge craft.

Farming tips

  • The marked node is what advances the assignment; matching a listed mission type elsewhere is not enough.
  • Before spending the reward, check which upgrade or craft is closest to completion so the materials address a real need.

Repeat, collect and use

Limited assignment reward: complete Heavy Duty once for its listed completion payout. The source facts do not establish a recurring reward cycle.

Common mistakes

  • Starting before finishing Conquering Hoxxes IV can leave the assignment unavailable; complete that prerequisite first.
  • Launching a similar but unmarked mission may not count; select the active assignment node.
  • Assuming the reward repeats after the chain is complete can lead to wasted runs; collect the payout and move to another goal.

When to stop or switch

Stop when the board records completion and the reward is collected. Spend the materials on a suitable upgrade or Forge craft, then choose another assignment or mission objective.
