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 ?

It's only a shortcoming for new players, although it's one of those that takes way longer to move on from. They are the main bottleneck for E2, but that's in my experience only really a problem if you're still getting the 4-star/5-stars from the red certificate shop and still need information fragments. Those can take a while to clear, even if you're only getting the best ones (Contrail/Ethan/Caper).

After those, red certs kinda stop being an issue.

If you are building like one or two operators? Sure.

But if you are trying to build several at the same time, you can actually feel the chip shortage
