XSTN-II

[Zorgy]

Hi there,
are there any tips or tricks on how to get XSTN-II?

Hunting down pirates mostly seem to drop Rare subsystems & turrets. Exceptionals here and there as well, but exotics are instantly low change. (or maybe I'm just unlucky)

Are there any tips how to get 3 legendary subsystems to turn into XSTN-II or ya just have to keep killing pirates till ya have enough?

Cause that option seems beyond grindy.

It is indeed super grindy and ironically one of the most difficult quests at lower difficulty levels. The best option I found was to find a pile of equipment docks and do the rounds every once in a while.

There are more rare drops closer to the core.

That is what I was afraid of.
Thanks for reply tho!

Research stations are by far the easiest way to get legendaries, assuming you horde every piece of equipment you find.

This.

Research stations FTW.
Keep in mind that you do not care *what* subsystems you have, just that you have 3 legendaries, so just keep spamming research with 3 subsystems of the same quality (Unless they changed it, 3 at the time yields more upgrades per subsystem than using 5 at the time)

I usually just wait until i get the Brotherhood Quest and spam that one. They drop lots of exotics and so you can do a few rounds and get some legendaries for XSTN-II fodder.

If the propaganda quest is still bugged, you can farm and endless supply of modules from the pirates that spawn there. After my first playthrough, i never sell a single subsystem module for this very quest. As the poster above mentioned, farming the brotherhood is good for modules, especially the ones that come with a pirate mothership and horde already in the sector. They'll happily kill each other too.

I used to manually/in-sector salvage scrapyards with a carrier ship for massive amounts of modules. The resources are poor, but thats not what your after. Noticed that since 2.0 came it, its less lucrative drop wise.

Just remember, it HAS to be subsystems, dont mix a weapon in with them. Used to allow 1 artefact to count as 1 of the 3, dont think thats the case anymore.

i didnt read this part "well" good i got it now . but could i repeat this to get another one ??
i was doing turrets instead of subsystems

researching 3 at a time is good for getting the artifact only,5 at a time and type mixing is the only way to get really cool weapons,i have to research about every 2 hours to keep room for new stuff to research .
