Hyper Light Breaker: How to Get Golden Rations

Hyper Light Breaker: A Guide to Acquiring and Utilizing Golden Rations

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

Where to Find Golden Rations

Golden Rations are primarily obtained through two methods: exploration and cycle resets.

Exploration: Explore the game world, searching for chest icons on the map. These chests often contain resources, including a chance at Golden Rations. A Golden Ration icon above a chest indicates its presence. Areas containing Prisms (golden diamond icons) frequently have nearby Golden Ration chests.

Cycle Resets: Each Overgrowth instance constitutes a cycle, resetting when your revives (Rez count) deplete. After a cycle reset at the Cursed Outpost, you receive a score. Achieving a high enough score to rank up yields Golden Rations as a reward.

Golden Ration Applications

Golden Rations are vital for progression in Hyper Light Breaker. Their primary use is unlocking permanent upgrades at your home base. These upgrades enhance your characters or unlock new vendor services.

Furthermore, Golden Rations unlock Sycoms, which define your Breaker's stats and passive abilities, significantly impacting 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.

Resource Retention: Resources, including Golden Rations, are retained upon death. However, equipped weapons, amps, and perks sustain damage (one pip), potentially leading to permanent loss.
