Hyper Light Breaker: How to Get Golden Rations

Hyper Light Breaker: A Guide to Acquiring Golden Rations

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.

Exploration: Seek out chest icons on the map during your runs. These chests often contain resources, and some hold Golden Rations (indicated by the Golden Ration icon above the chest). 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 rewards you with Golden Rations.

Golden Ration Uses

Golden Rations are vital for progression in Hyper Light Breaker.

• Home Base Upgrades: Invest Golden Rations in permanent character upgrades or new vendor services at your base.

• Sycom Unlocking: 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. Remember, resources are retained upon death, but equipped weapons, amps, and perks sustain damage, potentially leading to permanent loss.
