WHERE & HOW TO FARM

Where to farm

Operation Crimson Hammer in Expansion Missions, within the Grand Arsenal.

Operation Crimson Hammer is a free expansion mission in the Grand Arsenal and a focused source of its mission-specific Seerus Arsenal rewards and craft fragments. Some fragments require repeated plays, so plan around the exact item objective shown by the mission or recipe. This is a named activity with mission encounters, not a general Clockworks material run. Unlock the expansion through its prerequisite, then finish the mission and inspect what fragments or rewards were actually awarded. If a required fragment has not appeared, another clear may be needed; do not assume every run gives every component.

GET STARTED

How to farm

Before you go

  • Complete the prerequisite mission and unlock the free expansion.
  • Have equipment suitable for the mission’s displayed challenge.
  • Check the intended Seerus Arsenal craft and identify its required fragments.
  1. Open Expansion Missions and locate Operation Crimson Hammer after unlocking it.
  2. Review the mission objective and any displayed requirements before entering.
  3. Clear the Grand Arsenal route and complete its encounter objectives.
  4. Collect the mission-specific rewards and inspect your inventory for fragments.
  5. Compare the actual fragments with the intended craft’s requirements.
  6. If the recipe remains incomplete, queue another mission clear when available.
  7. Once requirements are met, use the relevant crafting interface and verify the completed item.

Farming tips

  • Track fragments against a specific recipe so repeat runs have a clear purpose.
  • Some components can take repeated plays; do not budget on receiving every fragment from a single clear.

Repeat, collect and use

Repeat the mission as needed for required fragments. The expansion mission is repeatable, while the exact rewards per clear should be treated according to the current mission display.

Common mistakes

  • Expecting all craft fragments in one run can stop progress prematurely; check the recipe and repeat if components remain.
  • Confusing general Clockworks loot with mission-specific rewards obscures what the activity targets; inspect fragment names after the clear.
  • Entering without unlocking the prerequisite means the mission may not be available; complete the stated unlock first.

When to stop or switch

Stop when you have the fragments required for the chosen Seerus Arsenal craft or no longer need its rewards. Switch to the crafting interface once the recipe requirements are satisfied.
