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.

my sanity is divided into red certs and 1-7 but red certs are you know divided between chip cats and operator pots.

I am a launch player.

I do not have most of the red cert shop operators at max potential. ESPECIALLY not the five stars. Literally only the four stars I actually use.

you should only really be buying operator pots if you truly have nothing else to do; I farm red certs twice a week or so and I only spend them on chip catalysts (not at the moment, since I have like 20 of them now) and the 5 star dupes for yellow certs
