Dismantle vs. Sell Strategy

Once you’ve collected most blue rarity (rare) perks by dismantling those items, switch gears and sell blue gear for scrap. Scrap becomes extremely useful later, especially for buying powerful gear from vendors in towns like Trench Town.

Where to Get Guaranteed Epics Early On

Monster Hunt Missions

Unlocked after speaking to Noah in Trench Town:

• Check the world map to see hunts in other areas like Eagle Peaks.
• These missions reward 2 epic items when completed.
• To farm them, don’t finish the quest. Instead:
  1. Kill the boss and loot.
  2. Let your team or yourself die to reset.
  3. Rinse and repeat.

Tips:

• Solo play is viable, but easier in co-op.
• Run it on World Tier 1 for fast kills and still get epics (albeit lower level, but useful for perk collection).
• Avoid completing the mission entirely until level 30 to maximize final quest reward quality.

Guaranteed Legendary: Crystalloid Boss

At the Forest Enclave, 8+ hours into the game:

• The Crystalloid boss drops a guaranteed legendary on the first kill.
• After that, it drops 2 epic items per run.

How to Farm:

• Return to the lobby, choose “Select Story Point” > “Forest Enclave” > “Track the Beast”.
• You’ll spawn right in front of the arena.
• Play on World Tier 1 for perk farming or a higher tier for better level gear.

Solo Tips:

• Use cover wisely.
• Abilities like Blighted Rounds (Technomancer) or Twisted Rounds (Trickster) help increase DPS.
• Crowd control and healing abilities are essential.

Predator to Prey Farm (Post-Crystalloid)

Located near the Crystal Camp after defeating the Crystalloid:

• Accept the “Predator to Prey” side quest.
• Fast path:
  1. Play on World Tier 1 to clear the areas quickly.
  2. Before boss area, switch to a higher tier for better drops.
  3. Defeat the alpha boss for 2 epics.
  4. Turn in for additional rewards.

Good To Know:

• Quest is repeatable: Turn in > Accept again.
• Only one loading screen required.
• Still yields epic gear even on World Tier 1.

Summary Tips

• Dismantle early blues to fill your perk library, then start selling them.
• Save guaranteed legendary bosses and monster hunts until level 30 if possible.
• Farm Crystalloid and Predator to Prey regularly for epic gear.
