Hyper Light Breaker: How to Get Golden Rations

Hyper Light Breaker: Farming Golden Rations – A Comprehensive Guide

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

Where to Find Golden Rations

Golden Rations are primarily obtained through exploration and cycle resets.

Exploration: Explore the map, searching for chest icons. These chests often contain resources, including Golden Rations (indicated by their unique icon above the chest). Areas containing Prisms (golden diamond icons) 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, you can retry the map (losing resources) or reset the cycle at the Cursed Outpost. Successful cycle resets yield a score; high enough scores grant Golden Rations as rewards.

Purpose of Golden Rations

Golden Rations are vital for progression in Hyper Light Breaker.

• Home Base Upgrades: Spend Golden Rations to unlock permanent character upgrades and new vendor services at your home base.

• Sycom Unlocking: Unlock Sycoms, which define your Breaker's stats and passive abilities, profoundly impacting playstyle.

Prioritization: Upon acquiring 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.

Resource Retention: Resources, including Golden Rations, are retained upon death. However, equipped weapons, amps, and perks sustain damage (one pip), potentially leading to permanent loss.
