Unlocking Relic item traits

[Zarakaï]

Heya, I found a relic armor several levels ago with locked traits, and to unlock them I have to do stuff like "kill 1000 Tyranids at my level or more", "kill 1000 daemons at my level or more", "kill 200 enemies with one shot", etc.

The problem is, I didn't find any mission with Tyranids at my level. I continued the story, most systems have cultists and Drukhari and Word-Bearers and daemons ( so killing 1000 daemons wasn't a problem ).

I've read somewhere that if we do a low level mission then when it resets, it will be at our level, but nope, since each system has a max level cap.

By the time I can actually unlock the traits, I'm largely overleveled, and I've found much better gear anyway.

Also there is a bug with this armor. The special trait was to "finish 5 missions without using the inoculator at my level or higher", but when I did the low level missions, they validated that trait anyway... I was like, level 43, doing level 10 missions and the main traits just unlocked.

Am I missing something or is this system rather absurd ?

And why are there so many low level systems ? We level up so fast, I didn't even play in 90% of these systems. Does it change when I'm max level ?

Yeah those ancient relics seem to be a waste of time to me, even if you unlock it the chances the main enchant is something you want is remote and you can't reroll it. Also there are tarot cards you can apply to missions to raise the level, so you could do lower level missions from starmap and apply tarot card to raise it's level, the lowest is raise level to 70 and one for 80 and 90 and you can level up those cards to increase that by 2 each time, eg the level 70 card if you level it becomes level 72 etc. Also random missions from the mission deployment screen will be scaled to level, up to level 70, and then intel missions will be scaled to your level

You should have unlocked the mission viewer by that level. It gives you a bunch of missions that are around your level. If you're playing with keyboard, it's a button at the bottom of the screen when you're on the bridge.

their useless under level 90 just salvage it for 3 red sparks and the sparks will be more useful anyways, as you use sparks to create gear slots. by time you do unlock the traits you'll out grow the item lol. These unlock stats have so far been a big joke in their current state. ive had stats unlock on class specific weapons that the class couldn't even use like poison on tech adept heat rifle lmao.... If the unlock stats was atleast previewable before unlock, it might actually make the time needed to unlock these stats worth while. As they are now it's a huge gamble and a waste of your time if you end up with worthless junk stats. Also you gimp your builds as you lose all stats on your good gear during the period of unlocking these said stats.

Yeah that's what I thought, thanks for the answers.

Having to unlock traits with small challenges is a good idea on paper, but here it's badly implemented.
