Tier 2 Gate Runs for Tier Materials

Arcade gate routes reaching Tier 2, continuing through Clockworks depths and subtown checkpoints.

Before you go

Check the recipe or objective you are working toward and identify its needed materials.
At the Arcade, compare gate routes and choose one that covers Tier 2 and fits the target.
Enter the gate and clear levels, collecting materials, crowns, heat, and minerals you can use.
Open available containers, keeping in mind that their contents are variable.
At the subtown terminal, restore health, buy supplies, and adjust equipment if needed.
Check your inventory and decide whether the remaining route still advances the target.
Return to Haven when your needed quantity is collected, then use the materials in the relevant crafting path.

Use the recipe and gate preview together to plan; tier access alone does not promise a named drop.
Treat subtown terminals as planned recovery and equipment stops before continuing deeper.

Repeat Tier 2 routes while they support a current material or progression goal. Particular drops vary, and access depends on progression.

Assuming every Tier 2 container holds the target ingredient leads to inaccurate planning; track actual pickups.
Entering a route without checking whether it reaches the needed tier wastes preparation; inspect its preview first.
Pushing past a subtown without restocking or adjusting can leave you underprepared; use the terminal when needed.

Stop when your recipe quantity is met or the route no longer matches the target. Choose another tier or activity for the next resource.
