The First Descendant lets you explore a future world sprawling with anomalies and colossal monsters. To stand a chance against these threats called the Vulgus, you need powerful weapons and characters called Descendants. The best way to craft top-tier gear and unlock Descendants is by crafting and upgrading them.
However, upgrading in The First Descendant isn’t as simple as it sounds. You'll need to collect several rare materials, with Polyatomic Ion Particles being one of the most important ones. These particles are the key to crafting essential items like Energy Activators. So, here's how you can find and farm tons of Polyatomic Ion Particles.
The First Descendant: How To Farm Code Breakers
Code Breakers will not be dropping while the game is set to normal, players will need to set the game to Hard before they can get their hands on them.
What Is Polyatomic Ion Particle In The First Descendant?
Polyatomic Ion Particles are an essential crafting material in The First Descendant for making energy activators and enhancing ultimate weapon components. As you advance into the mid and late game, these particles become more important as you need to rely on Ultimate Weapons. They can only be found in the Fortress Region and are a must-have resource if you wish to face off against tougher Void Intercept bosses.
How To Get Polyatomic Ion Particle?
You can find the Polyatomic Ion Particle only in the Fortress Region in The First Descendant. Moreover, they can only be obtained as a drop for eliminating boss monsters. You can find boss monsters by either clearing missions or outposts in the region.
The drop for this item isn't limited to the region's difficulty and can be found in both Hard as well as normal difficulty. However, the quantity of loot can be different based on this. The amount you can find varies from five to even upwards of 20, depending on which mission you're clearing.
Where To Farm Polyatomic Ion Particle?
Now that you know where you can find Polyatomic Ion Particles, you should know which of these locations is best for farming this material. Based on all the missions and outpost locations in the Fortress Region, here are two of the best locations to farm these particles:
- Command Relay Mission in Frozen Valley: This mission is ideal for farming Polyatomic Ion Particles. It's easy to complete, and you can do it solo as well. Moreover, two elite Vulgus enemies spawn during the mission, providing more Polyatomic Ion Particles. You can collect over 20 particles in a single clear, making it an efficient farming spot for both weapons and reactor materials.
- Vuglus Strategic Outpost Near Frozen Valley: Located conveniently close to the Command Relay Mission, this outpost is another alternative for farming Polyatomic Ion Particles. You can even switch between the Command Relay and the Vuglus Strategic Outpost, to farm Polyatomic Ion Particles from both locations with minimal downtime.
Both of the above missions require you to be at a high level, and demand high-level gear. If you're having a hard time completing them, you can start by clearing the High-Thermal Source Detected Zone story mission. You can get 7–10 particles every run from there.
