WHERE & HOW TO FARM

Early Ferrite run

Apollodorus, Mercury — Survival.

Apollodorus Survival is an accessible Mercury option for Ferrite. Collect the resource from enemy drops and nearby containers while keeping life support stable, then extract once your planned Foundry requirement is met.

GET STARTED

How to farm

Before you go

  • Unlock Apollodorus on Mercury.
  • Bring a loadout capable of sustaining Survival against the node’s enemies.
  • Check the Ferrite quantity required for the intended craft.
  1. Start the Survival mission and activate its objective.
  2. Stay with the squad in an area where enemies and life support remain manageable.
  3. Defeat enemies and collect Ferrite from their drops.
  4. Break nearby containers and open lockers during the run.
  5. Use life support capsules when the gauge falls.
  6. Check your inventory against the planned recipe after a reward interval.
  7. Extract when the target quantity is reached and extraction is available.

Farming tips

  • Containers and lockers are useful additional sources; do not rely only on enemy drops.
  • Use this early node if it is already accessible rather than traveling to a later planet solely for Ferrite.

Repeat, collect and use

Repeat Survival runs as needed; the resource amount varies with drops and pickups.

Common mistakes

  • Ignoring lockers and containers; sweep the immediate area while moving.
  • Letting life support run low while searching; maintain the objective first.
  • Leaving without comparing inventory to the recipe; set a specific stop target.

When to stop or switch

Stop when the Foundry recipe’s Ferrite requirement is covered, or extract if the squad cannot sustain the mission.

  • Unlock Teshub; prepare for level 10–15 enemies.
  1. Clear the Exterminate objective while searching rooms.
  2. Break crates and open lockers before extracting.
  • Choose this when you also need Void resources; no fixed yield is promised.
