Hyper Light Breaker: Gold Ratio Hunting Guide

Hyper Light Breaker: Farming Golden Rations – A Guide

Hyper Light Breaker features several resources, with Golden Rations being the rarest and crucial for essential upgrades. This guide clarifies their acquisition.

Where to Find Golden Rations

Golden Rations are primarily obtained through exploration and cycle resets (as of the early access version).

Exploration: Explore the map, searching for chest icons. These chests often contain resources, and some hold Golden Rations (indicated by the Golden Ration icon above the chest). Areas containing Prisms (marked by golden diamond icons) frequently have nearby Golden Ration chests.

Cycle Resets: Each Overgrowth instance constitutes a cycle. Upon depleting your revives (Rez count reaches zero), you can retry the map or completely reset the cycle at the Cursed Outpost. Successful cycle resets, yielding sufficient score for rank advancement, reward Golden Rations.

What are Golden Rations Used For?

Golden Rations are vital for progression in Hyper Light Breaker.

• Home Base Upgrades: Spend them on permanent character upgrades or new vendor services at your home base.
• Sycom Unlocking: Unlock Sycoms, which define your Breaker's stats and passive abilities, fundamentally shaping their playstyle.

Prioritization: Upon obtaining your first Golden Ration, prioritize purchasing the extra medkit upgrade from Pherus Bit. This significantly aids survivability, mitigating the game's harsh penalty for combat errors. Remember, resources are retained upon death, but equipped weapons, amps, and perks sustain damage, potentially leading to permanent loss.
