Most efficient way to obtain Energy Activators?

[stonking.com]

For those that have managed to get a few, what would you say is the best way to go about getting them?

Find a dungeon you can clear quickly and a boss you can do the same. Magister lab can be done in 3:30 with a bunny, 4:10 without a bunny. Executioner takes 1-4 minutes to kill. With start up time/end times, that is an attempt every 9 minutes or so. That's how I farm cata's lol.

The most efficient is to break out your wallet and just buy them.

For me, run spec ops, get a built sniper to 1 shot the normal void bosses.

Other way is run an easy outpost+reactor that has the drop chance.

The drop chance is the same no matter what, just just go for the easiest kills.

Dungeons are too slow and only 1 amorph at a time.

Do it solo, enjoy 2 at a time.

You get two if you do it on private normal mode?

Normal? No, hard, yes.

Hard you modify the settings to be 220-230% and you will get a second one if you get enough kill score. You are guaranteed to get at least 50% chance to get 2 though.

I dunno about most efficent, but the least frustrating way for me was not to focus on chasing after them. So I went to farm all sorts of gun parts and descendant parts. And made sure whatever I was farming had a small chance of dropping the activators and catalysts... Right now I'm sat on like 12 spare activator schematics after having used them on every ultimate descendant and about six ultimate guns...

As mentioned elsewhere, like a few others have noted, that 3 or 6% seems actually low for these things, at times it feels more like 20% chance of getting them... But as I said these werre never the focus of my farms, just a side bonus whilst chasing after other stuff

That is only in HM dungeons. Not normal ones. Can't clear HM dungeons solo efficiently until well built up.

Magister lab is the first dungeon in the game. A braindead bunny with 1-2 catas can clear it with no issues. The hard part is the boss at the end, but he has a flaw. He stands still to throw "Spirits" at you for like 10 seconds lol. Braindead bunny can just run in circles and fry him.

Run Bunny on Devourer Hard Dugenon for 4 minutes. Kill Devourer 15 sec with gley. Took around 1 hour for 20 runs. If you lucky, you can get 2 activators per 20 runs or 1 activator for 20 runs. So 1 hour for 1-3 activator. I got like 30+ atm. 12 used 18 blueprint sitting waiting to be crafted

I just tested this, it's accurate

It took me 4 minutes from Albion and back to Albion again after completion

Farming hard mode reactors for ultimate character pieces is how I got most of mine.

Grave walker took 1 minute, did both on normal mode
