The First Descendant: How To Get Complex Carbon Activators

Complex Carbon Activators are a type of rare drop you will need to find in The First Descendant. Since it is a rare drop in the game, collecting it is also a little bit time consuming. However, if you know where to look, you might gain yourself some time and get it quicker. In this guide, we are going to talk about how to get Complex Carbon Activators in The First Descendant.

How To Get Complex Carbon Activators

Complex Carbon Activators drop from certain Infiltration Operations in The First Descendant, although they take a long time to complete. There are ways to farm these tasks more efficiently, which is usually the best way to do so unless you also require other resources.

Complex Carbon Activators are dropped by two infiltration operations in the Echo Swamp region. These are:

Seed Vault (Hard & Normal Difficulties)
The Chapel (Hard & Normal Difficulties)

The Chapel operation as one of the options to get Complex Carbon Activator in The First Descendant.

The ideal way is to focus on the Seed Vault operation, which takes significantly less time to complete than The Chapel. When you reach the objective against the Elite Commander, collect the item drops. These drops will include Complex Carbon Activators.

Then, you can return to Albion via the main menu screen. This allows you to farm the materials efficiently without having to complete the entire process. While completing the operation may result in additional rewards such as end-mission rewards, amorphous material patterns, or form stabilizers, the primary goal should be to maximize your Complex Carbon Activator farming.
