Let’s dive into the best ways to farm Code Breakers in The First Descendant.

How to Get Code Breakers in The First Descendant

To start farming Code Breakers you need to play on Hard difficulty. This mode unlocks after finishing all zone missions and main quests on Normal. On Hard mode, Code Breakers can drop from defeated enemies.

There are three types of Code Breakers:

  • Regular Code Breakers
  • Precision Code Breakers
  • Ultra-Precision Code Breakers

All three types drop the same way but have different rarity levels.

Best Location for Farming

The First Descendant Sterile Land - Anticipated Ambush Point
NEXON Games

The Sterile Land region is the top spot for Code Breaker farming.

Head to the Rockfall Outpost and look for a mission called “Anticipated Ambush Point“. This mission is perfect because:

  1. It spawns lots of enemies
  2. You can complete it quickly
  3. It’s repeatable

Choosing the Right Character

Pick a Descendant that’s good at taking down groups of enemies. Gley, Bunny, and Freyna are great choices. Their skills work well for clearing out swarms of foes.

Farming Strategy

Here’s how to farm efficiently:

  1. Start the Anticipated Ambush Point mission
  2. Clear out all enemy groups
  3. Finish the mission
  4. Repeat.

You might need to run the mission many times. Code Breakers don’t drop every time so be patient.

How to Use Code Breakers in The First Descendant

Once you have Code Breakers use them to open Encrypted Vaults. These vaults give crafting materials gold and other goodies.

For the best rewards play as Enzo when opening vaults. He has a special ability that boosts vault rewards.

Remember Code Breakers only work on Hard difficulty. If you have leftover Code Analyzers from Normal mode switch back to use them up first.

Finding Encrypted Vaults

Use your scanner to locate Encrypted Vaults. The scanner makes a unique sound when pointing toward a vault. Follow this sound to find hidden vaults around the map.

Bring plenty of Code Breakers when hunting vaults. It can take several tries to open one. If you run out you’ll need to go back and farm more.

With these tips, you’ll be farming Code Breakers like a pro in The First Descendant. Keep at it and soon you’ll have a stash of valuable loot from all those Encrypted Vaults. Happy hunting!
