Hyper Light Breaker: A Guide to Acquiring and Utilizing Golden Rations
Hyper Light Breaker features various resources, with Golden Rations being the most valuable, essential for crucial upgrades. This guide clarifies their acquisition and application.
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, including a chance at Golden Rations. A Golden Ration icon above a chest indicates its presence. Locations marked with Prism icons (golden diamonds) frequently have nearby Golden Ration chests.
-
Cycle Resets: Each Overgrowth instance constitutes a cycle, resetting when your revives (Rez count) deplete. Upon running out of revives, choose to reset the cycle at the Cursed Outpost. Successful cycle resets yield a score; high enough scores grant Golden Rations as rewards.
Golden Ration Applications
Golden Rations are vital for progression in Hyper Light Breaker:
-
Home Base Upgrades: Invest Golden Rations in permanent character upgrades and new vendor services at your home base.
-
Sycom Unlocking: Unlock Sycoms, which define your Breaker's stats and passive abilities, shaping their playstyle.
Strategic Use: Upon obtaining 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 suffer damage, potentially leading to permanent loss.
