Farming Strategies: Securing Agape Drops

Agape drops exclusively from Kepler destination activities in the Edge of Fate DLC. No expansions required beyond free-to-play access.

  • Secret Chests: Explore Kepler zones for hidden caches during patrols.
  • Time Latch Missions: Complete these for guaranteed weapon rewards.
  • The Sieve Activity: High-yield end-rewards with multiple rolls.
  • Campaign Missions: Post-campaign runs yield Kepler loot.

Key tip: Visit the Altar of Relativity (likely a misnomer for Altar of Reflection) on Kepler to attune Agape. This boosts drop rates from all sources, including Sieve completions and chests. Attune mid-campaign for focused farming.

For efficiency, power level above 450 to access tier-five engrams, accelerating roll collection.

Advanced Tips and Synergies

Pair Agape with Solar subclasses like Dawnblade or Sunbreaker for Radiant procs. In PvE, combine with Well of Radiance for sustained fire. PvP users benefit from Contraverse Hold or Bleak Watcher for ability uptime.

Exhaustive Research trait builds perk power quickly, synergizing with Precision Instrument or Incandescent for escalating performance.

Common Pitfalls and Alternatives

Avoid low-range rolls in PvP; prioritize Smallbore or Hammer-Forged. If Heal Clip eludes you, Outlaw provides reliable reloads. Comparable weapons include Igneous Hammer or Sunshot, but Agape’s Heavy Burst edge sets it apart.
