Finish the recurring Pain Cage clear objective in Weekly missions and collect the mission reward for that cycle.
PC / Global English
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Where to farm
Missions > Weekly missions; complete the listed objective in Challenge > Phantom Pain Cage.
This route is specifically for the weekly mission objective that asks for Pain Cage clears. Its target is the mission reward shown in Weekly missions, rather than Phantom Pain Cage ranking currency or boss-score improvement. That distinction makes the route useful even when you are not pursuing a higher bracket result. Check the live objective and reward display first, then use the available boss challenges to register the required clears. The task is cycle-limited, so it does not provide an unlimited reward for repeating the same encounter.
Phantom Pain Cage is unlocked and available for the current cycle.
Weekly missions display a Pain Cage clear objective.
A team is available to attempt at least one currently listed boss challenge.
Open Weekly missions and find the Pain Cage clear objective.
Read its required clear count and inspect the attached reward.
Open Challenge > Phantom Pain Cage and review the currently available boss challenges.
Choose an available challenge your roster can complete and finish it.
Return to Weekly missions and confirm that the objective counter registered the clear.
Repeat an available Pain Cage challenge if the displayed requirement is not yet met.
Claim the mission reward when the task is complete, then check the relevant inventory or mission record.
Farming tips
Use the mission counter to confirm progress rather than assuming that entering or abandoning a fight counts.
If you also want ranking rewards, treat those as a separate goal and check the current Pain Cage reward display independently.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat this clear-and-claim loop once the weekly missions refresh and the Pain Cage objective appears again. The requirement and reward belong to that mission cycle; clears beyond its requirement do not create additional copies of its mission reward.
Common mistakes
Confusing the weekly mission reward with Pain Cage ranking currency; check which reward panel you are claiming.
Repeating challenges without checking whether the mission counter advanced; confirm progress after a clear.
Expecting the same objective or reward every cycle; follow the current Weekly missions display.
When to stop or switch
Stop once the Pain Cage mission counter is complete and the mission reward is claimed, or when the weekly task is no longer available.
