Hyper Light Breaker: How to Get Golden Rations

Hyper Light Breaker: A Guide to Golden Rations

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

Where to Find Golden Rations

Golden Rations are primarily obtained through exploration and cycle resets.

Exploration: Explore the map, searching for chest icons. These chests often contain resources, and some hold Golden Rations (indicated by a 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, you're scored. Achieving a high enough score to rank up rewards you with Golden Rations. This can be done at the Cursed Outpost.

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 home base.

• Sycom Unlocking: Unlock Sycoms, which define your Breaker's stats and passive abilities, fundamentally shaping their playstyle.

Prioritization: Upon acquiring 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: While death results in weapon, amp, and perk degradation (losing one pip of durability, potentially destroying them), any collected resources, including Golden Rations, are retained.
