Tips for getting every achievement and trophy fast
If you want to earn these in a short time, here’s what you need to do:
- Speed through the campaign: Many of these items are tied to beating missions in regions. Here’s our Viessa build that helped us breeze through it.
- Clear Void Intercept battles: These bosses can be unlocked by playing the campaign. Bring friends along or team up with strangers as they can be hard to beat solo.
- Level up your Mastery Rank: You can do this by finishing new missions and earning weapon proficiency for your gear. Note that this is different from levelling up characters.
- Enhance your modules: While you earn modules normally, you can improve them with Kuiper Shards. Or dismantle them to get this resource. You can also combine them to get better items.
- Improve your mod capacity with an Energy Activator: While this happens later in the game, it’s a good way of buffing a character.
- Enhance items at a workbench or dismantle them: This will let you improve your capabilities in combat and gain more resources respectively.
- Research items at Magister Anais: This lets you unlock more items and Descendants.
