In Scarlet Nexus, unlocking the “Bucky Heads” trophy requires a specific set of actions and timing. This guide will walk you through every step to secure this achievement efficiently.


1. Understanding the Trophy Requirements

To unlock the “Bucky Heads” trophy, you must:

  • Equip Bucky Head attachments on all 10 characters.
  • These attachments are purely visual items and can be obtained through the Exchange section of the in-game shop.

2. Timing: When Can You Unlock the Trophy?

You cannot unlock this trophy until you reach Phase 9: Standby in the story. This is the earliest point where:

  • All 10 characters are available.
  • You have access to the necessary resources to purchase Bucky Heads.

💡 Tip: Prioritize collecting the required materials during your main story progression to save time later.


3. Acquiring Bucky Head Attachments

Bucky Heads can be traded in the shop’s Exchange section using materials dropped by enemies. Here’s a streamlined process to gather what you need:

Step 1: Review the Enemy Library to identify which enemies drop the materials required.
Step 2: Use the return to home base and re-enter method to reset enemy spawns efficiently.

  • This technique allows you to farm specific enemies quickly.

Step 3: Focus on collecting low-tier items (blue drops) as they are needed for the exchange. These items drop more frequently when you defeat enemies using normal attacks rather than the Brain Crush technique.

💡 Tip: Save your Brain Crush attacks for enemies that drop rare materials instead.


4. Efficient Farming Locations for Materials

Material Farming Tips:

  • Rami Type Suppression materials:
    • Location: Punit Highway Junction area.
    • Why: This area has a high spawn rate of the required enemies.
    • Recommended Approach: Sweep through the area, then return to your home base to reset enemy spawns.
  • Subatomic Suppression items:
    • Material Needed: Dropped by Winter Sabbath enemies.
    • Drop Rates: Blue drops (low-tier items) are more frequent when defeating enemies with standard attacks.

🛡️ Pro Tip: Equip gear that enhances material drop rates to maximize efficiency.


5. Synchronizing Combat and Farming

Combat Tips for Effective Farming:

  • Use standard attacks to boost low-tier item drop rates.
  • Reserve Brain Crush for enemies that drop rare materials.
  • Companions: Take advantage of companion abilities to expedite battles. For instance:
    • Gemma’s shield can mitigate damage during farming runs.
    • Kasane’s finishers are effective for clearing multiple enemies swiftly.

6. Managing Character Equipment

Equipping Bucky Heads:

  • Access the Equipment menu.
  • Equip a Bucky Head for each of the 10 characters.
  • Ensure all characters have one before ending a mission to register progress.

🎭 Fashion Tip: Bucky Heads are purely cosmetic, so feel free to mix and match other gear without affecting the trophy requirements.


7. Troubleshooting Common Issues

Problem: Materials not dropping as expected.
Solution:

  • Reassess your attack method; prioritize standard attacks.
  • Revisit and farm the Punit Highway Junction for Rami Type enemies.

Problem: Some enemies are missing.
Solution:

  • Check the Enemy Library for spawn locations.
  • Use the base reset method to respawn them.

Conclusion

Unlocking the “Bucky Heads” trophy in Scarlet Nexus is all about strategic farming and managing your resources efficiently. By following this guide, you’ll equip all 10 characters with Bucky Heads in no time.

Happy hunting, and may your trophy cabinet grow! 🏆
