WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Where to farm
Assignment Board on the Space Rig; mission steps are selected from the marked nodes at the Mission Terminal.
A weapon license assignment is a progression chain that unlocks the listed weapon for its class. The assignment board shows the missions that count, and those steps may change with mission rotation while retaining their required mission types. This is an unlock route, not a repeatable resource payout: once the license is earned, replaying the chain does not grant another copy of the unlock. Use the assignment marker for every step, confirm progress at the board, and then equip the newly unlocked weapon through the equipment terminal. The specific license available depends on class and progression, so check the board rather than planning around a weapon that is not currently listed.
Reach the player level at which the desired weapon license assignment becomes available.
Have access to the Assignment Board and an available assignment slot.
Check the board for the class and weapon named by the available license assignment.
Open the Assignment Board and locate the weapon license assignment you want to complete.
Accept it and review the current list of required missions.
At the Mission Terminal, select the node marked for the active assignment step.
Complete the mission’s primary objective and extract successfully.
Return to the board and confirm the step registered.
Repeat with each remaining marked mission until the assignment is complete.
Claim the license unlock and equip the weapon at the equipment terminal for its class.
Farming tips
Use the exact marked mission node; another mission of the same type may not advance the assignment.
Check the weapon’s class before equipping so you visit the matching class loadout.
Repeat, collect and use
The license unlock is a one-time progression reward for that assignment. It does not provide a repeatable completion payout.
Common mistakes
Expecting a license assignment before its level requirement can delay the route; check the board when new assignments unlock.
Launching an unmarked mission can fail to advance the chain; follow the active assignment marker.
Finishing the assignment but not equipping the weapon leaves the unlock unused; visit the equipment terminal afterward.
When to stop or switch
Stop when the license is unlocked and the weapon is available at the class equipment terminal. Switch to another assignment or use the new weapon in missions.
