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 vital upgrades. This guide clarifies their acquisition and uses.

Where to Find Golden Rations

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

Exploration: Keep an eye out for chest icons on the map during your runs. These chests often contain resources, and some may hold Golden Rations (indicated by the Golden Ration icon above the chest). Areas containing Prisms (marked by golden diamond icons) frequently have nearby chests containing these valuable rations.

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 essential for progression in Hyper Light Breaker.

• Home Base Upgrades: Spend them to unlock 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 your 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.

Important Note: Resources collected during a run are retained even upon death. However, equipped weapons, amps, and perks sustain damage (one pip), potentially leading to permanent loss.
