(PSN)VoltaicRay Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 This is the first time I have felt that a resource is too rare. I really hope this doesn't continue with new resources in the future. It's giving me this pay to win feeling that I've never had from this game before. Please d.e stop the madness before it's too late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyori Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 (edited) Is it rare? I have leftover more than 10k of it... hmm... Just enjoy n explore jupiter in leisure and you will get more than you want in no time Edited June 16, 2019 by kyori Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GinKenshin Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 nice feedback you have there, completely devoid of any relevant info of how and where you're farming this so people will just assume you're doing the optimal way of farming when in fact you aren't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrymm Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Considering how easy it is to have it just fall into your lap, I doubt anybody is thinking this guy is doing any kind of "optimal way of farming". Do Jupiter. Hexenon happens. Make Hexenon gear, proceed to not worry about it and excess falls into your inventory like every other resource. If you want it all in one day, that'll be tough. If you let it all add up it's at best a weeks worth of relatively minimal focus on Jupiter to build everything currently available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)VoltaicRay Posted June 16, 2019 Author Share Posted June 16, 2019 What am I thinking , you guys are right, I should be getting more neural sensors then hexenon with smeeta, resource booster, nekros on a dark sector with 20% resource Booster. 20 hexenon:24 neural senors on a 30 min survival. OK yup everythings alright. Very balanced. Smh. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)VoltaicRay Posted June 16, 2019 Author Share Posted June 16, 2019 Is that optimal enough or am I missing more? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amazerath Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 I was reading some posts from Switch people yesterday and they believe that there's something wrong with the drops. And I'm starting to think they're right because when this came out on the PC farming hexenon was really not that difficult. You went into Disruption, you stayed there for 30 minutes or so and you left with 100+ hexenon (sorry I don't remember the precise numbers anymore). I never even felt the need to check Dark Sectors because I was already getting plenty of hexenon from Ganymede runs. But now some Switch players are saying Dark Sector is actually giving them more hexenon then Disruption. Yet their hexenon numbers seem to be lower then what I was getting on the PC. So maybe DE lowered the hexenon drop (I know they did that for neural sensors). Or maybe they lowered the hexenon drops by accident when they were trying to adjust the neural sensor numbers. Either way, if you're getting something like less then 50 hexenon in a 30 minute mission that seems completely wrong. And I mean wrong as in "not intentional".

(PSN)VoltaicRay Posted June 16, 2019 Author Share Posted June 16, 2019 Yeah I've been playing this game since it launched on ps4 and I have never had this much trouble with any other resource. I've been farming hexenon for wisp for 3 days about 6-8 hours a day and I just finished an hour ago. Now back at it for the fulmin. I literally laughed at the mission summary screen when I had more neural sensors then hexenon. I have friends who want wisp too and I know they won't put up with this grind. Farming magus elavates before the cetus economy rework wasn't even close to being as bad as this. Idk though apparently people are sitting on "10k" of the stuff so i must just be unlucky lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)VoltaicRay Posted June 16, 2019 Author Share Posted June 16, 2019 I also tried disruption and didn't have any luck there, and at this point I'm literally breaking and opening every container in the map lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hexenon feels like it’s this super elusive resource a lot of the time and the fact that you need so much of it is very disregarding. I almost gave up making the Fulmin because of it and have no intention of farming more Hexenon for the new sniper and pistol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk what mission you’re doing but I did like 5-6 4K runs in the event, a couple of dedicated farming in the DS survival mission and I have more than enough. It seems difficult because it’s new, that’s pretty much what I noticed. I don’t think new players would have the same issues, and the fact that it’s specific gives us a reason to visit the planet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can second this information from a personal perspective. Even doing multiple waves of Disruption and Defense has yielded me barely any Hexenon, I barely got enough together for a Fulmin and that took hours to get 300. On average I tend to get maybe 20-30ish Hexenon every 25-30 minutes in a mission, I actually average better Hexenon per minute hunting Ralph (Ropo) over and over again which gives me about 29-32 every run. So I could easily see it being messed up on Switch, or consoles in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a bunch of 4k runs and would typically take about 100 to 130. Also did a dark sector with my Nekros doing his thing that gave me a fair bit. Maybe it was just your turn to be hated by RNGsus?

TaylorsContraction Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Hexenon only drops from certain units, mainly amalgams I think, like oxium only drops from ospreys. You encounter a ton of these in the new disruption game mode. I suggest you farm it there if you need it in large quantities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIREEK Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 You can either farm disruption by either doing the mission (since hexenon is a reward) or you can go with a premade squad and farm in a tight room with nekros for example, since the mission will keep giving enemies, better take this as a chance now since this is similar to capture and excavation situations, where players could avoid the objective and simply farm (and will likely be changed) We all know how that went: Better farm disruption in the same fashion while you can. Asside from that, causal runs in jupiter, you will need tons of them to practice spy, rescue, to explore (this takes a very long time since some room are very rare and unique), to learn about the new rooms, the new drops in said rooms. After 100 runs you should have the hexenon you need, but my sugestion is to not specifically farm it when exploring, do other things, create other objectives, hexenon is a bonus.

Andikki Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 (edited) I did a spy mission yesterday, and maybe my memory fails me, but I think I came out with something like 50 hexenon. That was on PC, so maybe the drop is really different on other platforms, but " enjoy n explore jupiter in leisure" worked perfectly well for me. EDIT: I might have had a booster 🙄 Edited June 17, 2019 by Andikki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdframe_Prime Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Honestly speaking, I'm surprised. I ran the main event a grand total of six times (once to try it out, three times to 4000 with public players and twice to 6000+ for the Clan score), and then went to explore the new maps for a few days. I do have a booster on, so if I halve what I got from those four days of actually just playing normally... Yeah, it's safe to say I picked up a good few thousand. I was able to completely fund two of the clan statues which means without the booster, I would have been able to fund one. Considering that the total amount of Hexenon needed to craft every current Blueprint that contains it is 2100, I don't think that's too far out of reach. But... Okay, I'll try to be useful. Amalgams drop the Hexenon quite a lot, so whatever mission you're on, seek out the secret doors, there's always a half dozen or so Amalgams inside each with a high chance to drop the stuff. Disruption spawns Amalgams by the dozen, it also drops Hexenon as a reward, run that rather than the Dark Sector. If I needed any more than I've already farmed, then I'd probably have better farming tips, but the key is to go where the Amalgams are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amazerath Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 So I just finished a 16 minute Disruption mission with only two other players and got 137 hexenon. It could have been a bit of luck but this was with no booster, no kavat and no Nekros (though there was a Khora who could be using Pilfering Strangledome). I also ran Exterminate missions many times and got everything from zero to 52 hexenon, which doesn't seem incredible until you take into account each run only took me about 5 minutes and I was doing it solo. The reason why I think some people may not be getting as much hexenon as they should is because maybe they're not moving around enough. Lots of warframe players have gotten used to relying on stationary Nekros to farm resources and that doesn't work as well for hexanon because this resource only drops from lockers, containers and amalgams. Lockers and containers don't move towards you and amalgams have really low spawn rates (Disruption is somewhat different). In general you have higher chances of encountering an eximus unit then an amalgam enemy. So if you don't constantly move around you will potentially get way less hexenon.
