Specialize Atlas passives for a farming goal

Atlas passive points let map runners bias endgame rewards toward mechanics that support a chosen farming objective.

WHERE & HOW TO FARM

Where to farm

The Atlas passive tree, using points earned through Atlas progression and its objectives.

Atlas passives are a way to direct mapping toward a particular activity. First decide what output you need, then allocate available points toward that mechanic or toward map sustain. Revisit the tree when your goal changes so points continue to support the current loop.

GET STARTED

How to farm

Before you go

  • Unlock Atlas maps and the Atlas passive tree.
  • Earn Atlas passive points through progression.
  • Choose a concrete farming target such as Heist, Expedition, Delve, or Harvest.
  1. Identify the upgrade or resource you want to farm next.
  2. Open the Atlas passive tree and inspect nodes connected to that mechanic or map sustain.
  3. Read node effects and confirm they apply to the activity you plan to run.
  4. Allocate points you have earned toward the selected route.
  5. Run maps that can produce the chosen encounter or improve your map pool.
  6. Track whether the selected mechanic is appearing or supporting your goal.
  7. Refund and reallocate points when your farming objective changes, if you have the means.

Farming tips

  • Commit to one clear target while points are limited; scattered allocations can dilute the plan.
  • Atlas mechanics and availability can change between expansions, so inspect the current tree in game.

Repeat, collect and use

Point allocation can be adjusted as the plan changes, but points themselves come from progression objectives rather than an endlessly repeatable farm.

Common mistakes

  • Allocating by habit without a target; name the resource or activity you want first.
  • Taking nodes for a mechanic you do not intend to run; align the tree with actual play.
  • Assuming an older passive layout remains current; review available nodes in the present Atlas.

When to stop or switch

Stop specializing once the chosen mechanic or map sustain is adequately supported; reallocate when the target resource or upgrade changes.
