Mixed energy residue help

[Jon.Topps]

Everywhere I look I see that the best way to get this is just beating missions in Agna Desert, but this seems REALLY bad. You get like 1 every mission, and there's no quick missions (all take like 4 min), and you need a fair amount of this stuff for things, especially the cataylsts.

Is there a better method to get these?

you get like 8-11 per vault and only 1 in the desert every now and then (and not even guaranteed). basically they added that option in but left it as frustrating as possible to.... push you towards buying the catalyst i guess.

I think you mean the one you get from the vaults. If that is the case, it can drop from monsters, elite trait monsters to be exact. The drop rate isn't 100% (about 20% I think?) and only drops 1 at a time. But it is an alternative to cracking open the vaults.

But if you really want to farm the monster for the material. I suggest any mission that needs you to kill a lot of monsters (Extermination, for example). Because it can drop the code analyzer/code breaker for you to use on the vaults, and dropping from those elite trait monsters.

Yeah my problem with the vaults is the drop rate for the code analyzer things is even worse.

The more I play this game the more I'm not liking it, just because the grind doesn't feel rewarding at all. You can grind literally all day and have basically nothing to show for it. At least in Warframe I could sit down for a few hours and have made something new.

I'd be down to try the vaults, but is there a better way to get the code analyzers? I've been told to do Sterile Land, Rockfall, Anticipated Ambush Point, but I haven't found a single one yet.
