Trade spare equipment to Equipment Drone
Turn a spare equipment slot item into an automated drone effect while accepting that the handover is permanent.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Trade spare equipment to Equipment Drone
An Equipment Drone spawned in an ordinary stage; search the generated layout while exploring.
Before you go
- Find an Equipment Drone during a stage.
- Hold equipment you can afford to give up for the rest of the run.
- A plan for keeping the repaired drone alive and useful.
Farming steps
- Explore the stage and locate the Equipment Drone before the teleporter event ends.
- Inspect your held equipment and decide whether the drone’s automatic use would benefit the run.
- Check that the equipment is truly spare; do not give up the only item your strategy depends on.
- Interact with the drone to transfer the held equipment and repair it.
- Watch for the drone’s use of the item and keep it away from avoidable danger where practical.
- Continue the stage and reassess the value of the drone if the fight or environment changes.
- An equipment effect used automatically can be useful when it does not need precise timing, but the value depends on the item.
- Skip the repair if the drone would take a core equipment piece or if keeping the item gives you more control.
Repeat, collect and use
The transfer is limited to the equipment you hand over, and that item cannot be reclaimed through this interaction. Another drone in a later stage may allow a separate decision if you have new equipment.
Common mistakes
- Donating equipment that is central to the build; compare its run value before interacting.
- Expecting the transfer to be reversible; it permanently removes the item from your held slot.
- Ignoring drone survival; a destroyed drone means the donated equipment is lost for the run.
When to stop or switch
Stop when the drone is repaired and using the equipment; move on if no additional drone appears or if no held item is safe to donate.
