DLC Content in Normal Mode

[Waryth]

Okay so I'm literally confused here:

Home Reform Sub Quest is from DLC 2? I couldn't get the Flight Reactor else where from quests but they said it drops from Honeycomb Maker that is said to guaranteed to drop one

https://steamcommunity.com/app/626690/discussions/0/1727575977571743872/#c1727575977575193824

I did that and Honeycomb Maker didn't drop me any.. I'm assuming it has something to do with me requiring to use DLC content?

Am I getting DLC content in my game already even when I didn't start it yet?

I'm getting Cyber MTX 2 without getting the predecessor "Cyber MTX"

so if I didn't bought the complete edition all of these will make me end up buying DLCs? I'm so confused, don't know where to start or what part to ask so these are my thoughts and hoping someone could answer them. I just wished I never bought the whole edition so I could do DLCs by stages.

all materials u need for quest drop from the dungeons u have access to. meaning if u need materials for quest from dlc 2, new dungeons added for dlc 2 are the primary places where u should look for the materials.

+ I believe game's difficulty also has some effect on drop availability of certain items and thus I recommend playing the game on extreme difficulty after certain point if u aren't at it already

Flight reactor drops only in the DLC 2 dungeon (Demon Cave) where a big room that has the honeycomb maker and a smaller gundam, both can drop it but take note that to enter the room, you only have 50% chance since the smaller room lead to that room has 2 doors and only 1 will open.

Some gun don't have their predecessors like the Miasma Claw (Rank 3), AMR Assassin (Rank4)... . DLC 2 has lvl 100+ bosses on normal/ easy so lower than rank 6 will not suffice to beat them.

If you bought the complete edition, DLC 4 adds offline hero quests that give you rank 6,7 version of pretty much all of the weapons that normally can only be obtained in their DLC dungeons.

Alright then, I'll start working on DLCs now.

I'm confused, if that ain't a predecessor then shouldn't you be saying Miasma Claw Mk. II/AMR Assassin Mk. II?

I have the complete edition and some parts of DLC is activated which is confusing.

Someone really needs to make a DLC guide on this game.

No, because they'll have different name at higher ranks. Miasma Claw at rank 6 will be Miasma Fang then to Miasma Edge, AMR Assassin at Rank 7 will be AMR Deathwind then to AMR Grim Reaper.

I see, thanks for clarifying.

I'm at DLC 2 and I couldn't kill Shirley and Clarence in normal mode (aka not in extreme mode) since I'm just stuck with a Rank 6 Weapon that's fully upgraded (max chips and enhancement level). Not even a legendary weapon could damage them enough without wasting 1,000 bullets on them.

My only option is to go Extreme Mode when doing DLC? I heard going Extreme Mode will increase the enemies level then so does that mean Shirley and Clarence are going to get buffed up? What changes will they be in Extreme Mode?

You can get all those materials way easier and in bigger quantity in online co-op.
Just create a lobby and search in the normal mission which one gives the material you need. All you'll have to do then is to killl the boss to get the reward.
Even if no other player join, since it's a normal mission, you'll have 7 of your NPCs (6 + your arfa-sys) with you.
Make sure to select the best of them (those you gave chips to) while in the lobby, before starting the mission.

In extreme mode, all ennemies get their level increased. If you cant beat them in normal, they'll probably wipe you in seconds in extreme mode....

I haven't unlocked the feature to give chips to them.

Yes I'm aware of that but I'm asking about the DLC dungeons and this to be specific:

There's no quest that drops Flight Reactor in co-op.. I just checked mine just now.

[Guh~hey~hey~♫]

there is one. remember farming it for completing the house quest.

could you check it for me then?

I've checked both Normal and Hardcore and there's none on my end so you could take my word for it. I believe you're talking about extreme mode..

It's probably the quest from DLC 4 where you have to hunt for sniper butterfly in the snow area or the Eugeo Request that's in DLC 3, i see none for DLC 2.

Use AOE buffs like the Guard/ Power Field for your team and debuff enemies with Armor Break. Bringing supports like Asuna, Silica... cause AI friends won't doing any damage in this stage anyway (unless the mission force you into a party which i don't remember), you can also bring the Anti-AR Veli gadget and deploy it in the corner to ensure they can't shoot you from any angle.

You can try setting it to extreme and kill Some Assault Automations in the first room to get a rank 9 Robust.

It's simple, it's the normal co-op mission where you gotta kill one of those flying robot.

For extrem mod, what I started with at the time where a breaktrough from DLC 1 (explosive shot spamming) that I used to farm ennemies in DLC 2.

Then got a moonlight from DLC 2 that I used to farm ennemies in the snowfields (with a critical build), was enough to get a few rank 11 weapons (SMG, sniper, launcher, handgun).

With those rank 11 weapons all you need is enough stats to carry them, then dump everything else into agility and vitality.

Though there's two important thing to do:
- Make sure to get rank 4 of all the debuffs (attack and defense), and so with their required stats, making you the main DPS/enginer.
- Teach all rank 4 buffs to your afra-sys (attack, defense, nanotech, critical form, single target AND group versions, so he/she will be able to rebuff somebody who got downed immediately after revival), making him/her your main support (a good reliable support in that game is a tank - very high AGI and VIT - with maxed INT, and equipped with a handgun and a shotgun for the faster animations). Fill his/her remaining skill slots with healing bullet and healing field.
You cant go trough extreme mod without those, and even less trough online co-op.

can you be specific on which exact co-op mission is it? what the heck is that flying robot supposed to mean?

[Parasus]

The flying robots in Dlc 4 (winter...) does drop the flight engines outdoor. You can enter the area if you have the dlc4 and don't need the story

Hmm it makes sense then. Well, I'm at DLC 2 and you guys are skipping to DLC 4 already for the Flight Reactor drop..
