Hyper Light Breaker: Farming Golden Rations – A Guide
Hyper Light Breaker features several resources, with Golden Rations being the rarest and crucial for essential upgrades. This guide clarifies their acquisition.
Where to Find Golden Rations
Golden Rations are primarily obtained through two methods:
-
Chest Exploration: Explore the game's map, searching for chest icons. These chests often contain resources, and some hold Golden Rations (indicated by the Golden Ration icon above the chest). Areas containing Prisms (marked by golden diamond icons) frequently have nearby Golden Ration chests.
-
Cycle Resets: Each Overgrowth instance constitutes a cycle, resetting when your revives (Rez count) deplete. Upon reaching zero revives, you can retry the map (losing some resources) or fully reset the cycle at the Cursed Outpost. Successful cycle resets, resulting in a rank increase, reward Golden Rations.
Golden Ration Uses
Golden Rations are vital for progression in Hyper Light Breaker:
-
Home Base Upgrades: Spend them on permanent character upgrades or new vendor services at your home base.
-
Sycom Unlocking: Unlock Sycoms, which define your Breaker's stats and core passive abilities, significantly impacting playstyle.
Prioritization: Upon acquiring your first Golden Ration, prioritize purchasing the extra medkit upgrade from Pherus Bit. This significantly aids survivability, mitigating the game's harsh penalty for combat errors. Remember, resources are retained upon death, but equipped weapons, amps, and perks sustain damage, potentially leading to permanent loss.
