Common samples aren't all that common

[The Monkey]

I have almost no upgrades because while I have an insane amount of rare and even super rare samples, I just don't find common samples whatsoever. They're rarely near bases, sometimes I find them at settlements, but they're not exactly common. I'm practically tripping over rare samples and I find that stupid fist rock with the super rares on every other mission, why are the commons being such a pain in the ass?

I really do be finding rare samples so much more

The rarest samples are ironically the common sample. We all learn this irony very quickly. lol

Play on Difficulty 3 and below. It won't be a challenge but you'll be swimming in common samples since they're the only ones that can spawn. Run solo if you want with light armor for extra speed/stamina.

Go play defense mission than, small map only common sample, 5-10 minute per run.

The real bad joke here is "rare" sample steal the spot of SC/Medals in POIs box.
But common is not that bad if you don't mind that one bugs defense mission that give 15 common in 4 mins.

[Arcanant]

every defend mission has ~10-11 common samples. Very easy to farm and get.

huh? i consistently have over 200 common samples even when im low on orange.
Theres always a handful at every single enemy outpost on 5+ difficulty.

I legit think your team is just not picking them up.

Yeah. I really wish I could use rare samples in place of common samples. I'd immediately be able to get like two whole upgrades.

I'll try that, I guess. Even then, I'm constantly getting rares though

It's not outside the realm of possibility but normally my friends are pretty meticulous about finding points of interest.
