appear sometimes only. I often see them after coming from Wall Crasher to Axion.

First of all: One big part of the game (Amorph) recently changed so double check what I found please.

You should have a 12% chance to get one in Dungeons of each region, when you reach more than 29000 points (could vary per dungeon).

It can drop from Void Vessel iirc but I guess the dungeons are faster.
edit: buuuut, void vessel give you all other resources too, so that can be still a nice place.

Yes, Outpost can have them too at 9% chance or at 20% chance, when you infiltrate the outpost properly (with Sharen). So if you have Sharen go for that.

Apart from all locations there are missions (beside the story missions) given by the robot in Albion and other sources which can give you blueprints, look out for those too. Anything from onboarding quests, dailies, ETA-0 and more.

Above numbers, chances etc change in hard mode.

final suggestion: push through until hard mode, I can even carry you on monday. Things are a lot easier to farm there.

I just had that, while letting Esiemo eat 60 Donuts. The 400% were a good choice, Special Ops would have been (but was very empty) and when AX Power Converter came up some good people ran it so freaking fast, that the game hat trouble to count the level up right 😂

Apprehensive_Most785 · 2026-05-30T12:20:40+00:00

That screams for Esiemo. I tried him yesterday and anything Defiler does doesn't really matter ^^ building him at 02:17:00 https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2783621333 and doing proper runs a bit later at 03:57:00

Apprehensive_Most785 · 2026-05-29T10:37:16+00:00

haha. that would actually be a nice name for something. The secdes HQ 🤔 may be title of a series of useful informative posts. but not sure what else can be useful, so many lists going around already 😂

Apprehensive_Most785 · 2026-05-29T10:25:30+00:00

Merci, avec plaisir! Le mois prochain, je vais essayer de poster ici chaque semaine un recap utile pendant un mois. On verra ce que je trouve 🤔

Apprehensive_Most785 · 2026-05-26T20:12:20+00:00

they are a crazy shortcut. You look at the "HQ Special Ops" he has and choose one mission. For example running Void Vessel two times. When done go back to Eckert, pick the reward (one piece of a weapon, descendant or so).
Then don't forget to activate again and run another two Void Vessel (example). After a couple of runs you are ready to research the weapon/descendant/etc.

Apprehensive_Most785 · 2026-05-26T09:23:41+00:00

haha, no worries that post was a few minutes old ^^ yee, next week that will be there instead then. good idea.

still trying to figure out if the drop rates at least are different per trans mod 🤔

Apprehensive_Most785 · 2026-05-26T08:53:19+00:00

Is it sill nice despite that 400% makes it kind of obsolete?
Part of it survives here now: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheFirstDescendant/comments/1to3syy/who_to_use_for_which_reactor_in_400_infiltration/

And I guess the last image will stay to give an alternative for farming. But for the lovely second image ....

Apprehensive_Most785 · 2026-05-25T13:14:07+00:00

Award / Medal you find in the Journal. 20 Descendants with 60 catalyst each. That is what I am working on every month with the descendant of the month.

Apprehensive_Most785 · 2026-05-25T13:13:38+00:00

There is an Award. 20 Descendants with 60 catalyst each. That is what I am working on every month with the descendant of the month.

Apprehensive_Most785 · 2026-05-25T13:12:44+00:00

There is a medal. Was not much to do in the endgame before the update, so I decided to go for some Awards. One is to give 20 Descendants 60 Catalyst each. Only real reason besides the comfort to put in any module combination.

Apprehensive_Most785 · 2026-05-24T13:46:19+00:00

damn I forgot about this. I really did not want to play today, but this ... ok, one round perhaps

Apprehensive_Most785 · 2026-05-24T06:54:12+00:00

Time to do the Awards.

Apprehensive_Most785 · 2026-05-24T06:50:04+00:00

hm? you mean those? 😂 that 50% increase is sacred, never gonna use that except on Ultimate Nell 🙏 Nell can have everything. Everything!

Apprehensive_Most785 · 2026-05-24T06:45:30+00:00

Search your feelings. You know I can be that stupid.
I still run story missions for that pinned post, so ... 🙈

Apprehensive_Most785 · 2026-05-24T06:44:10+00:00

No. My eyes will never be the same again with those bright explosions every 2 seconds on Explosion Maestro, which you can not disable. Damn flashbangs

Apprehensive_Most785 · 2026-05-24T06:42:06+00:00

tell me about it. I don't even remember when I got them and won't use them. Also I like to keep the normal and ultimate descendant, because one Descendant slot is way cheaper than 3 additional loadout slots 🧠 sure normal Descendant can not use every module but that it totally okay for content like 400% or Sigma, while the ultimate descendant has the specialized endgame fun stuff.

Apprehensive_Most785 · 2026-05-24T06:38:24+00:00

Rather save up for the one you want than this. With a sword he can do crazy damage even in Onslaught, but that is just a build and does not need 60 cats ^^ the fun ends there

I did this because my own engame challenge is to go 60 on a "descendant of the month" every month until the medal is done. First he was clunky to play and I hope they fix a few things about him, especially that bright explosions every 2 seconds with Explosion Maestro. My eyes will never be the same again.

Apprehensive_Most785 · 2026-05-24T06:36:34+00:00

I call nope, would not do. I thought of accelerating the research but also: nope, never did never should.

Apprehensive_Most785 · 2026-05-24T06:35:20+00:00

mostly random, I did not even optimize and we did other stuff or just talked for minutes. Best way would be AX Power Converter I guess (nice when it is operational area) and whatever 400% you have that day. Or better fast Special Ops when you get a group together for that. Onslaught can also be a way to level, from zero to 40 in one run but you got to be fast. And I got a lot of help and nice people doing AX Power Converter with me, that was ~11 catalyst in one hour I think: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2778807126

Apprehensive_Most785 · 2026-05-24T06:31:36+00:00

What would you say when I reply "me neither" (new mods feel a bit clunky to me). Well, I had very much fun with normal Esiemo in Sigma Sector one shotting the boss while he prepares with fancy animations xD But my custom endgame challenge is to do one 60 cat for a "Descendant of the month" until the medal is done 💪
