Un-findable research objects

[Sam Pinkul]

I have finished the game 4 times, played over 60 hours, researched every other researchable objects, but I can't find these in particular no matter what:

ArchaeoTechnology, Antic mechanism, Zhaar's eye, Mininuclear Warhead.

Can anyone help me to understand why I can't find them or are they special in some way and can be aquired only under special conditions?

They are very rare.
Here is some advice: Go to New Eden, go to alley with pink car. At the end of alley you will find dead end with (or without) sentries. Put your sentries there (and scrabbals) or hack them, then set game difficulty to "Chicken" and amount of enemies to "Invasion". Now you will have tons of dead federals and that's how you increase your chances of needed drop.

Will do xD Thanks for the advice!

Your advice was good and bad. The good - Ive managed to get one of the 4 missing tech pick-ups. The bad - tech objects only drop when I personally shoot the enemy down not when scrabbals or sentries do.

Got to find ArchaeoTechnology and Antic mechanism. Ugh! They seems like almost unfindible >< Was in New Eden for HOURS. Damn =/ Surprised that was able to get Zhaar's eye rather quick.

suiluap are you aware of the temple side missions? go to the first game field, the one with the dead trees and two snipers. do that side job over and over, there are only 4 variations of the job. i get around 20 to 40 grand each round. at the pressant time i only have 4 ? marks

What a fine morning! Was ready to gtfo from New Eden and then I picked archae technology (even second Zhaar's eye lol), so only antic mechanism is left. From what I understand Secreta Secretorum members (Jians etc) are the most dropable, always have lots of tech-briefcases from them, while from bandits and feds not so much.

Heh, you reminded me how I got the last piece from all research items. After countless hours of farming I just raged and went berserk on shocktroopers with Damocles. Right after I killed first fed, he immediately dropped exact that ultra-rare item. That was a time.

[Cypris Melaenis]

In what map you were farming, Noctys Labirints? And do shock troopers drop tech-briefcases more often than regular feds? Also, saw your stats, have you accomplished all these class-achievements with one or multiple characters?

[Aretaik]

Well, yes, I farmed in Noctis. I don't relly know if any particular enemy drops certain items more often, I think everyone shares same drop pool.
And for achievements, well, let's not speak about it, I did not earn them fairly. I was testing how and when game defines classes in farming map and got all these achievements with different characters in the proccess. Oh, well.

[Cypris Melaenis]

I asked because I got 4 of the class-achievements with single character, so was wondered is this possible to get all of them with 1 character. Don't know, as for me Jians are certainly drop tech-cases more often.

[Cypris Melaenis]

This is madness! I got archaeTechnology 3 times, Zhaar's eye also 3 times, but this friggin antiq B1tch is really infindable. I'm so not sure that I'll ever find it. Will try farming one hour a day and perhaps 25 years later I'll get it -_-

[Cypris Melaenis]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I got antiqe mechanism!!! It took about 7200 federals and 150 SS members to kill to get this!! YEEEES!! After 6 hours of gameplay was really ready to go out, but then miracle happened! = D I was like "Oh my, this can't be happening!!!! D =" And for people who still can't find something, just one advice - Try to get research items from Secreta Secretorum members and Shock Troopers, they drop techcases more often. I got my from SS member. Shame on me that I tried to get it from regular feds before.

I'll have to keep that in mind when I go research farming. I only have Antic Mechanism and Structural Integrity Field left, but right now I'm grinding for brouzofs so I can max out all of my cybertech items to level nine. :P

If I don't get those items before I reach level nine on them then I'll go about doing that. Any maps you recommend farming where there's a guaranteed output of SS and ST's?

Thanks for the advice, by the way. :)

Well I was always farming in New Eden, unfortuntly there's no guarantee that there will be respawn only SS. And unfortuntly there's no ST in new eden. but I still like new eden there's very easy place for farming with 2 respawn points nearby. I go to new Eden, killing all snipers, then see who's respawning (takes 1-2 minutes), if respawning are manducos or bandits, I leave the map and start it again before respawn who I want. You don't necessary need 2 respawning teams of SS (but tthat'll be ideal), it will be okay with Bandits+SS or Feds+SS. But I still don't like farming on feds, because sometimes with them respawning these stupid robot-creatures, who are useless to kill just like manducos. And ST I farming on Noctis. (sorry for my bad english)
