Hyper Light Breaker: How to Get Golden Rations

Hyper Light Breaker: Farming Golden Rations – A Guide to the Rarest Resource

Hyper Light Breaker features various resources, with Golden Rations being the most valuable. Crucial for significant upgrades, these are unfortunately not clearly explained in-game. This guide offers reliable methods for acquiring them.

Where to Find Golden Rations

Two primary methods exist for obtaining Golden Rations:

• Chest Exploration: Throughout your runs, locate chest icons on the map. These often contain resources, including a chance at Golden Rations. A Golden Ration icon above a chest indicates its presence. Areas containing Prisms (golden diamond icons) frequently have nearby Golden Ration chests.

• Cycle Resets: A cycle represents an Overgrowth instance, resetting when your revives (Rez count) deplete. After running out of revives, you can retry the map (losing some resources) or fully reset the cycle at the Cursed Outpost. Successful cycle resets, yielding sufficient scores for rank advancement, reward Golden Rations.

Golden Ration Uses

Golden Rations are essential for progression in Hyper Light Breaker:

• Home Base Upgrades: Invest Golden Rations in permanent character upgrades and new vendor services at your base.

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

Prioritization: Upon acquiring your first Golden Ration, prioritize purchasing the extra medkit upgrade from Pherus Bit. This significantly improves survivability, mitigating the game's harsh penalty for combat errors.

Resource Retention: Resources collected during a run are retained upon death, although equipped weapons, amps, and perks sustain damage (potentially leading to permanent loss).
