Hyper Light Breaker: How to Get Golden Rations

Hyper Light Breaker: Farming Golden Rations – A Guide

Hyper Light Breaker features several resources, with Golden Rations being the rarest and crucial for significant upgrades. This guide clarifies their acquisition.

Where to Find Golden Rations

Golden Rations are primarily obtained through two methods:

• Chest Exploration: Throughout your runs, explore the map for chest icons. These often contain resources, including a chance at Golden Rations. A Golden Ration icon above a chest indicates its presence. Areas marked with Prism icons (golden diamond) frequently have nearby Golden Ration chests.

• Cycle Resets: Each Overgrowth instance constitutes a cycle, resetting when your revives (Rez count) deplete. Upon death, you can retry the map (losing some resources) or fully reset at the Cursed Outpost. Successful cycle resets yield a score; high enough scores grant Golden Rations as a reward.

Golden Ration Uses

Golden Rations are essential for progression:

• Home Base Upgrades: Invest Golden Rations in permanent character upgrades and new vendor services at your base.

• Sycom Unlocking: Unlock Sycoms, which define your Breaker's stats and core passive abilities, shaping their playstyle.

Prioritization: Upon acquiring your first Golden Ration, prioritize Pherus Bit's extra medkit upgrade. This significantly aids survivability, mitigating the game's punishing combat mechanics.

Resource Retention: Upon death, you retain collected resources. However, equipped weapons, amps, and perks sustain damage (one pip), potentially resulting in permanent loss.
