So how do you farm Currupted Shards?

[Grizzly]

the best way i know is to go to a root nexus, activade the checkpoint and semi afk for 3-4 min with the health bar of the nexus up (but not attacking it). then kill yourself if nothing spawned and do it again. otherwise kill the aberration and then kill yourself to do it again till you got enugh shards.

all of that on apoc too for the highest chance of an enemy to spawn. i got about one shard per 10 minutes which means it can take like 2 hours of this to get enugh to corrupt one weapon. thats pretty painful ngl

There really isn't one tbh.

The things you're trying to farm just have a small random chance to replace any elite. Supposedly the chance goes up based on what difficulty you're playing, but that's the only way to increase your odds as far as I know.

And yes, trying to target farm them is miserable. Unless you really, really, really want one of the corrupted weapons for some reason I'd just wait and hope the devs do another event where the spawn chance for Aberrations is boosted.

If you haven't done so already I'd strongly suggest checking out what all of the corrupted weapons do. They aren't just straight upgrades of existing weapons.

problem is that most of my fights outside of boss fights take about 30 seconds, but i need 3 min for something like that to spawn as it seems, which is why i barely have any of them lmao

i had all the corrupted weapons already so thats not really why i ask. i do a lot of hardcore apoc runs and i had corrupted weapon on one of my characters there before, just cause i got it by chance (due to not being right equipped, fights there take a lot longer, making more of them spawn.) and i was wondering if i could go for builds with currupted weapons on my hardcore characters more commonly.

however if thats what i need to do for that, then i dont think so and ill just hope to get them randomly again.


edit: this was the character with corrupted rune pistol

Plant corrupted shards in the ground, water with the blood of your enemies.
You can get up to 10k corrupted shards per season if you've got the land and greenhouses.

Unfortunately the way to farm them was to play during the Halloween event. Now we just gotta play on harder modes and get lucky.
