Heat Plasma Batteries are essential for progress in “The First Descendant.” They’re used for upgrades, powers, and crafting to boost your gameplay.
This guide mainly focuses on an efficient method to farm Heat Plasma Batteries using hard-mode infiltration missions.
Step-by-Step Guide to Farming Heat Plasma Battery
Step 1: Pick Your Mission
Start by selecting infiltration missions in Hard Mode. While Normal Mode gives some Heat Plasma Batteries, Hard Mode offers the best results.
Step 2: Choose the Right Mission
Focus on two missions:
- Haven
- Old Mystery
We recommend Old Mystery for this method. Set your mission to private to avoid issues with other players, as this works best solo.
Step 3: Progress the Mission
Begin the mission and play until you reach the part where you activate the Contraption in the middle and destroy corrupted Kuiper shards.
Step 4: Manage the Encounter
Work on the mission until you’re at five out of six completions. Stay in the marked circle and beat all enemies to reach this point.
Step 5: Farming the Yellow Named Enemies
Once at five out of six completions, let the mission timer count down until only 30 seconds remaining. During this waiting period, target the yellow-named enemies that spawn, as these have a high chance of dropping Heat Plasma Batteries.
Step 6: Collect Your Heat Plasma Batteries
Keep defeating yellow-named enemies. You should get about five or six Heat Plasma Batteries by the time the timer hits 30 seconds.
Step 7: Decision Time
With 30 seconds left, you have two options:
- Let the Mission Fail: Let the timer run out, which will complete the mission and award you with a good amount of Heat Plasma Batteries collected. You can then immediately restart the mission to farm again.
- Finish the Mission: If you have over 10 seconds left, destroy one of the last Kyper shards to continue. You’ll face an Elite Tracker enemy, which might drop another Heat Plasma Battery. Finishing the mission can also give extra rewards due to the many enemies you’ll face.
Additional Tips
- Keep at it: Doing this method over and over will get you lots of Heat Plasma Batteries quickly.
Stay on Target: Focus on yellow-named enemies, as they’re your main source for farming.
Conclusion
By using this method, you’ll have an effective way to farm Heat Plasma Batteries in “The First Descendant.” Whether you let the timer run out or finish the mission, you’ll get the resources you need to advance in the game.
