Red circle/x/arrow in Acquisition Info
Hi I am trying to obtain the Toxic Antibody module and in Access Info>Module its Acquisition Info says its obtainable from Biological Research Facility in Sterile Land. It also shows at the end of the line a red circle/x/arrow wondering what this means. Will it no longer drop here? Iv run this alot of times 30+ and got other modules many multiple times but not this one.

unfortunately you have to wait until you reach white-night gulch, then you can farm it until you get it

I'm having this same issue and the problem with waiting until white-night gulch is that is after you do devourer, which is what I need the toxic antibody for. I guess I can be one of those people who goes into the colossi fight without the proper setup and get carried.

Yeh seems silly, Im also getting different answers to this on Reddit people are saying it will drop, but Iv done it so many times and its just a blue module

resistance mods are a trap, don't waste your shards on them, especially if you are already at devourer. Resistance is a flat damage reduction but around around 2-4 k resist reduces damage by like 5 points. Buff HP and DEF then spend the rest of your mod capacity on Skills

not my video but this guys does the math REALLY well so can explain what i mean by resistance being a trap

edited to add, he does not mention reductions to incoming damage stat at all in his formula but that is another stat on some of the rare mods that could also be beneficial to look into, but i haven't tested anything around those numbers as of yet

Yeah, devourer was the last time I spotted resists, though, I am playing max def / hp ajax.
You'll get the items on the right with resists later on in the thousands if you want them, so I'd not invest in the mods too heavily.

What you should do is max out hp and defence ASAP for any character and stay near an ahax's shield when fighting the colossus.

Ty folks ok will do. Also something else, but brought about by trying to get mods, theres this blue mod called Polygenic Antibody, in acquisition info it says it drops Kingston, Slumber Valley - complete. Iv run it dozens of times and no sign of this module. On some list online it showed it as a 100% drop so I watched a random video on youtube of someone running that mission and it just drops at the end when the boss dies. What might I be doing wrong?

From what I understand, if it has that red circle X arrow, that means it is non-repeatable, and will only have a chance to drop the first time you do the mission. If you don't get it, then you are expected to farm it from some hard mode Intercept boss.
The random video on youtube you watched probably got lucky and got it the first try.

I am gonna assume that under Kingston, Slumber Valley, it will list a lot of places and also the word "Mission Monster". That means enemies in all Kingston missions have a chance to drop Polygenic Antibody. I assume the chance is much lower, because you would have gotten it by now based on the sheer number of enemies you've killed.
I haven't figured out whether Mission Monster means random mobs or only the leader at the end of the mission.

A lot of people misunderstood his original video, so he felt the need to clarify his stance on resistances in this updated video. Resistances can help, but you don't need a lot of it, and they are most certainly not a "trap". Just don't stack it to the moon, the same thing applies to DEF stat too.

I'm not at home now so I cannot investigate further, but I have been doing that dungeon on my Freya while leveling her, and I don't remember seeing that mod in the rewards list.
The only mods listed on the dungeon reward list are Reload Insight and Magazine Compulsive. And I have gotten them both after over an hour of farming.

I assume that because it is only listed in the acquisition info page and not on the rewards list, it means it is 100% but you only get it once.

What about the freyna stabilizer, It says it has a 20% chance to drop from a single mission and its non repeatable. on the flip side of that though it has the same quest without the non repeatable symbol under where it says its non repeatable. Ive done the mission about 20 times and I am entirely convinced its not gonna drop.
