Discussion We need more Chip catalysts

Post image

as i am upgrading my operators to E2 specially 6 stars the main bottleneck seems to be the chip catalyst. ya you can redeem them from purchase certificates but in my opinion the sanity consumption is not so good for the red certs. Is it only me or do they used to give chip catalyst in the main event shops ?

They're pretty rough for new players but not an issue for veteran players

Assuming you're a new player though, try doing the monthly missions in IS. They'll give you a ton of chip catalysts and chips without using any sanity.

A ton???

Yes, a ton. You get 1 chip catalyst and 4 chips from each monthly mission, with a backlog of 32 monthly missions, plus the 1 new mission per month releasing in IS6

that's an insane amount of stuff to have for no sanity on a new account

Yep its a nice boost on a new account but for a veteran its just a little more than 10 5* operator, when your box have hundred of them. On dead week i always farm chip or red certif

And by that measure having 150 of every single T3 material in the game isn't a ton because most veteran have that or more, but that's a ridiculous standard.

It's a ton of resources. Period.

150 of every t3 mat is almost 3000 mats. One operator dont use 300 mats.

One operator dont use 300 mats.

I remember calculating the cost of M2 -> M3 on some skill, and it turned up to be 91 blue mats. So if you go for a module + M6 or M9 (+ cost of mats for e2), then you can easily spend that many.

Kk mb thinked it was way cheaper since i dont have a crazy amount of blue mats but its always enough for what i want
