Exploration and progression
Unlock drone branches at Repair Consoles
Repair Consoles turn collected modules into lasting scanning, hacking, and ranged-combat abilities for the drone.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Unlock drone branches at Repair Consoles
Repair Consoles at Supply Camps or Lily’s station at the Tetrapod hideout in Xion.
Before you go
- Collect at least one Drone Upgrade Module.
- Reach a Supply Camp or the Tetrapod hideout with Lily’s station.
- Decide which drone function would help your current exploration or combat needs.
Farming steps
- Interact with a Repair Console at a Supply Camp, or use Lily’s station at the Tetrapod hideout.
- Open the drone upgrade interface and inspect the three available branches.
- Review environment nodes for scanner improvements and Can Detector access.
- Review hacking nodes if you want to open high-security chests and their rewards.
- Review ammo and combat nodes if you want more ranged options for encounters.
- Select a node whose function you expect to use; confirm the module cost before committing.
- Return to the interface after collecting more modules and continue down the branches you value.
- The Hacking Tool can make otherwise inaccessible high-security chests available, so consider it when chest access is your immediate goal.
- Because upgrades cannot be reset or refunded, compare the branch benefits before spending a limited early supply.
Repeat, collect and use
The console interaction can be repeated whenever you have modules and eligible nodes remain. Individual upgrades are permanent purchases, not a repeatable reward.
Common mistakes
- Expecting to upgrade from the inventory screen: modules must be spent in the Repair Console interface.
- Spending without checking the node’s function: confirm whether it serves exploration, hacking, or combat.
- Waiting to collect every module before making any choice: invest when a useful node is affordable, while understanding the purchase is permanent.
When to stop or switch
Stop when the currently useful node is purchased or your modules are depleted; resume after finding or buying more modules.
