How To Farm Balanced Plasma Batteries?

The Balanced Plasma Battery is more of an end-game research material, and that is why you will have to unlock the Fortress Region before you can acquire it. If you've unlocked the Fortress region, then you should target certain missions that have Elite Vulguses, since they are the only mob that drops these, and not all missions in the Fortress region have this loot drop.

If you want to know which missions are best for farming this material, then here's a list of the top choices and why you should prioritize these missions:

  • Quarantine Zone (Fallen Ark, Fortress): Among all the missions in The First Descendant that drop the Balanced Plasma Battery, the Quarantine Zone is by far the best mission to farm this item. If you're doing this on Hard mode, you can expect an output of 100+ Balanced Plasma Batteries every 20 minutes.
  • Heart of the Fortress (Defense Line, Fortress): If you are unable to complete the Quarantine Zone mission, then your only other alternative is the Heart of the Fortress mission. While the output efficiency of Balanced Plasma Batteries isn't as much as the Quarantine Zone, you can still expect quite a few of these drops from this finishing off Elite Vulguses in this mission.
