Timed clears open later stages in the Weapon Core challenge track.

WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Where to farm
Void Erosion Purge, launched from the World Map node or Infiltration Operations Terminal.
Later Void Erosion Purge stages unlock when you finish the current stage within its target time. A slower clear can still give its completion reward, but it does not advance the stage track. Deaths shorten the effective time available, making survival part of the progression plan. First-clear rewards and stage progress reset by season episode, so inspect the active track before investing in a push. If a run misses the target, use the result to adjust your build and attempt the stage again rather than expecting a slow clear to unlock the next one.
Mastery Rank 18 and the Albion access subquest completed.
An unlocked stage to enter.
A build suited to the stage target time and combat risks.
Open the mode and select the highest stage currently unlocked.
Read its target time and prepare a balanced damage and survival setup.
Start the stage and follow objectives without unnecessary detours.
Avoid deaths because they reduce the available target time.
Complete the stage and compare the result with its target.
If successful, confirm the next stage unlocked; if not, adjust and repeat.
Farming tips
A clear over ten minutes can award completion rewards without unlocking the next stage.
Episode changes reset progress; check the current track.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat a stage as needed to meet its target and advance. First-clear rewards reset each season episode; the live track distinguishes them from repeat rewards.
Common mistakes
Treating any clear as an unlock; meet the stage time target.
Building only for damage; deaths reduce the timer allowance.
Assuming previous episode progress remains; inspect the active track.
When to stop or switch
Stop after unlocking the stages you want or when the current target exceeds your build’s capability. Improve gear and return if the timer blocks you.
