Hyper Light Breaker features multiple in-game currencies essential for progression, upgrades, and acquiring top-tier equipment. Understanding how to farm these efficiently is crucial for advancing through the game.

Types of Currency & Their Uses

1. Bright Blood – The most common currency, obtained from killing enemies and breaking objects. Used for purchasing and upgrading items from vendors.
2. Materials – Found in lootable chests and through selling items. Required for unlocking vendors and crafting.
3. Cores – Obtained from stashes, core shards, and bone piles. Essential for upgrading your skill tree and SCOMs.
4. Gold Rations – Earned from underground labs and cycle resets. Crucial for unlocking medkit usage, vendor upgrades, and skill tree improvements.
5. Abyss Stones – Dropped by Crown bosses and awarded at cycle completion. Used for high-tier SCOM and skill tree upgrades.
6. Keys & Med Gems – Reset after each cycle. Keys unlock secret areas and labs, while Med Gems allow for medkit refills.

Best Farming Methods for Each Currency

Bright Blood Farming

• Equip the Danger Blood Holobyte, which increases blood drops when the danger meter is full.
• Max out the danger meter by looting and fighting waves of enemies.
• Seek items with the Thrombosis Injector affix, which boosts Bright Blood gains.
• Avoid spending Bright Blood before a cycle reset to maximize Gold Ration rewards.

Materials Farming

• Locate lootable chests (gem icon on mini-map) for materials.
• Search for interactive environmental objects like white capsules, sarcophagi, or machine rubble.
• Sell low-rarity weapons to vendors.
• Upgrade common weapons to Level 2 before selling them for additional materials.

Cores Farming

• Prioritize opening stashes (marked on the main map).
• Collect four core shards, which can be found in loot chests and bone piles.
• Buy core shards from The Chemist NPC for 80 Bright Blood.
• Explore underground labs where core shards are often hidden.

Gold Rations Farming

• Search for underground labs, often marked by a pink dot on the map.
• Reset the cycle (by dying four times or killing all three Crown bosses) to receive rations.
• The more objectives completed in a cycle, the greater the reward.
• Do not spend your resources before resetting the cycle, as this impacts your Gold Ration payout.

Abyss Stones Farming

• Earned from defeating Crown bosses (each grants at least one stone per cycle).
• Completing a full cycle rewards an additional Abyss Stone.
• Boss fights require high-level gear; farm resources beforehand.

Keys & Med Gems Farming

• Keys are obtained from Crown bosses and purchased from The Chemist NPC.
• Med Gems are collected from green plants and used for medkit refills.
• Medkits are capped at zero by default—purchase the first medkit upgrade to make use of them.

Additional Tips

• Invest in Loot Quality Perks – Unlock perks that increase the chance of finding higher-rarity items.
• Boost “Ops” Stat – The Astrologer and Sniper SCOMs have the highest Ops stat, increasing loot quality.
• Avoid Overfilling Your Vault – High-quality gear matters more than sheer quantity.

With these strategies, you’ll be able to farm the necessary currencies efficiently, allowing you to upgrade your gear, progress faster, and tackle Hyper Light Breaker’s toughest challenges!
