where are people farming vault keys actually?

[Igor]

Title says it.

Also, REACTORS... REACTORS EVERYWHERE!
Jesus, im tired of so much reactors drops.

I agree, i wish that when we dismantle them we actually got useful materials back.

The keys drop from elites in in missions, don't have to be yellow health bar bosses.

So the best would be Extermination?

Edit.: also, chance for both keys?

[Sovietude]

As far as I know, they drop everywhere with an extremely low chance. Best bet would be any gold farms with many kills.

I believe from mobs that have special effects on them. Normal mobs don't judging from some of the gold farming I did on missions that infinitely spawn normal ones who did not drop any even after hours.

So a gold keiper farms like expected ambush in sterile lands and the one in echo swamp if you have a good bunny/group. Since they have a chance to spawn mobs with special effects added.

i still like using Reactor in Sterile Lands. You just run around in a circle and zap twenty in a second with Bunny. Gold is only around 75-50k but I get a good amount of breakers.

This, the ones that aren't normal which would be ' elites '

Best missions I have found are : Sterile Lands / Void Reactor / Ambush Point.

Ambush is faster w/ an elite in it while Reactor has more overall enemies.

Have dozens of keys atm.

ambush mission for sure

I thought the yellow, and sometimes orange, is what indicates its an elite?

[TemplarGFX]

I found 'anticipated ambush' in Sterile Lands to be a pretty good source just due to the speed you can repeat it. Well as bunny. 5 or so enemies that can potentially drop them and it takes about a minute to complete the mission and restart it

[HerbertWess]

anticipated ambush point, rockfall teleport, sterile lands. At least that is where i usually farm them. Drop rate is highly rng, but usually pays off. Although they do drop in infiltrations, it is pretty secondary and less farm efficient, consider getting them there as bonus for when you do infiltration runs for amorph mats, certain basic materials etc.

Oh, and farm them in private, alone. Not that i got anything against ppl roaming around, but who gets the kill for the drops is important for this

I am almost 100% certain they do not drop in outposts or in special operations.

[Audiopython]

echo swamp gold farm route drops vault keys, i'm drowning in them, i literally can't spend em before i need more gold so i get more xD

[nostrovus]

Make sure to put on an ext component that gives higher consumable drop rates. I don't really think the enemy matters. Reactor only has two basic enemies and I always get breakers there.
