Overclocks and Matrix Cores
Collect Matrix Cores from Deep Dives
Deep Dives provide a weekly multi-stage source of Matrix Cores for promoted players pursuing Overclocks and cosmetics.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Collect Matrix Cores from Deep Dives
Deep Dive terminal aboard the Space Rig; launch the regular or Elite Deep Dive from its weekly listing.
Before you go
- Promote at least one Dwarf to unlock Deep Dives.
- Complete a regular Deep Dive once before attempting Elite Deep Dive.
- Bring a team and loadouts suited to completing several linked stages without returning to the rig between them.
Farming steps
- Open the Deep Dive terminal and inspect the current regular dive’s three stage objectives and warnings.
- Choose a class and equipment setup that covers mining, traversal, and combat needs for the full run.
- Launch and complete stage one, then continue directly into the next stage when prompted.
- Complete stages two and three in the same run, managing ammunition and health across the linked missions.
- Claim the Matrix Core reward associated with each completed stage as shown by the weekly dive reward track.
- If eligible, review the Elite Deep Dive listing and decide whether its difficulty is appropriate before launching.
- Return to the Forge later to process eligible cores using the required minerals.
- Review the stage objectives before launching so the team understands which tasks must be completed in sequence.
- Use resupplies deliberately across the connected stages; a Deep Dive is a continuous run rather than three independent lobby starts.
Repeat, collect and use
The listed rewards are limited to one claim per dive per weekly rotation. The seed and rewards refresh weekly; replaying the same dive does not grant duplicate weekly cores.
Common mistakes
- Leaving after one stage forfeits later stage rewards; continue through all three stages to claim the full track.
- Expecting the same rewards on an extra clear misreads the weekly limit; switch to Core Hunt or wait for reset.
- Starting Elite without completing a regular dive first ignores its unlock condition; clear the standard version before attempting Elite.
When to stop or switch
Stop when the desired regular and Elite weekly stage rewards are claimed, or end the run when the team can no longer complete stages reliably. Use the remaining time for Core Hunt or material gathering.
