Understanding the Fundamentals
Before diving into the details, it’s crucial to grasp the basic mechanics behind the fieldwork upgrades. If you’re already familiar with the concepts discussed in my previous video on the ultimate guide for the Revenant season, you’re in a great position to continue.
If not, I recommend catching up on those fundamentals first, as they lay the groundwork for understanding how the season works, including unlocking new tonic recipes and obtaining weapons.
The Core of Unlocking Fieldwork Upgrades
The key to unlocking fieldwork upgrades lies in acquiring a plethora of tonics. More specifically, you need to focus on unlocking numerous new recipes. A handy tip is that some tonics can transform into multiple higher-rarity recipes. To efficiently unlock these new recipes, the best method is to repeatedly use a lower-rarity tonic. For instance, if you apply the Onslaught tonic, you can unlock weapons like the Ignition Code and Chroma Rush.
Here’s a step-by-step approach:
- Start with Lower-Rarity Tonics: Begin by spamming a lower-rarity tonic. This will set the foundation for unlocking new higher-rarity recipes.
- Transition to Blue Tonics: Once you’ve unlocked a blue tonic (like the Vintage Onslaught Weaponry), continue to apply it repeatedly to access more specific purple tonics for weapons, such as the Sojourner’s Tail shotgun.
- Repeat the Process: Each time you unlock a new tonic, return to the previous one to see if it can evolve into yet another higher rarity. For example, using a green tonic might yield two distinct blue tonics.
By following this progression, you can accumulate a diverse range of tonics. To fully unlock every minor fieldwork upgrade, you’ll need a total of 30 different recipes. This might seem daunting, but with the right strategy, you can achieve it efficiently.
Gathering Resources for Crafting Tonics
Next, let’s talk about resources. Accumulating enough reagents to craft these tonics is essential. The most effective method for gathering resources is through the Onslaught playlist.
Here’s a valuable tip: as of now, the Event Tide Ruins map on Expert difficulty offers a surprisingly easier experience than other expert maps. The enemies here are notably weaker, allowing you to reach wave 10 and secure double chests for extra loot. By repeatedly farming this map up to wave 10, you’ll maximize your resource gain without the grind of the standard difficulty.
Even after any future patches, farming Onslaught remains a top choice for gathering reagents. Don’t forget to consider upgrades that provide additional rewards for bonus objectives and the Recycler upgrade, which lets you reclaim resources from dismantled Revenant weapons.
Fieldwork Missions: Your Key to More Resources
Every fieldwork mission you complete also rewards you with a package of reagents, with major fieldworks providing larger packages. As you unlock enough recipes, it’s wise to tackle a fieldwork mission. For instance, after completing an Onslaught run, head back to the Last City and craft some tonics, which can then allow you to unlock another fieldwork mission.
What Do You Gain from Unlocking Fieldworks?
Completing these fieldwork missions, particularly the final key mission, grants you access to exciting new upgrades. One of the notable upgrades is the Liquid Chronograph, which unlocks a new menu for resource tonics.
By crafting these tonics, you can potentially farm glimmer effectively. For example, using the small tonic of glimmering can lead to unlocking the medium tonic, and eventually, the large tonic of glimmering.
Weighing the Value of Upgrades
While brute-forcing the final key mission may not seem worthwhile, focusing on unlocking different farmable weapons is incredibly beneficial. The purple tonics grant you 60 minutes of effectiveness, making them a strategic asset during direct farming sessions, especially when you’re aiming for specific weapon drops.
In summary, the journey to unlocking the Act One Fieldwork upgrades can be both rewarding and challenging. By understanding the core mechanics, efficiently gathering resources, and strategically completing fieldwork missions, you can enhance your gaming experience significantly. Happy gaming, and may your tonic crafting be ever fruitful!
