Where To Farm Fragments In Steamworld Heist 2
Complete Missions And Keep Exploring
The most common way to farm Fragments is tocomplete quests with the Fragment iconnext to it. Any mission displaying the familiar symbol of a Fragment will reward you with some when it’s finished for the first time. Remember thatFragment quests only give you the material onceandwill not provide you Fragments if completed again, no matter how many times you try to farm the same mission.
During a mission, you may explore enough to discover a loot bag as you wander around trying to finish a quest objective.Stand on bags of loot to earn items like Fragmentsor other important items. Similarly toloot dungeons inDiablo 4, you can refresh areas with loot bags by taking on missions guaranteed to have them over and over to make them respawn again.
While Fragment rewards for completed missions only work once, every loot bag you find has a chance to drop a Fragment, whether it is from the same mission you farm from or not.
You can alsobuy Fragments from stores in exchange for Gallons, the game’s main currency. However, Fragments are pretty expensive unless you have a surplus of Gallons from your other adventures. This farming method is less effective than others if you are trying to save Gallons on other strong items offered by vendors withinSteamworld Heist 2.
The final way you may farm Fragments is tofind them in barsyou explore in hidden areas of different locations. These are the hardest ones to find, but you should be able to see bars with a Fragment symbol indicating that one holds some of the currency you want. You won’t be able to find many bars with Fragment icons, so make sure to always investigate and farm the ones that do for some free Fragments.
