How to Get Plutonic Carapace in Abiotic Factor Update

     Plutonic Carapace is one of the most sought-after materials in Abiotic Factor, thanks to its durability and unique properties. This thick, alien hide, covered in acidic pustules, can be harvested from Volatile Pests and Volatile Exors, two of the most dangerous creatures lurking in the game. But here’s the catch - these creatures explode when they die, making farming their drops a serious challenge. If you’re tired of searching and want a reliable way to gather Plutonic Carapace, this guide has everything you need.

 

 

Where to Find Plutonic Carapace

 

     Plutonic Carapace is exclusively dropped by Volatile Pests and Volatile Exors, two mutated lifeforms from Anteverse II. If you’re not sure where to find them, check out these key locations:

 

     - Volatile Pests can be found in the new update areas, particularly radioactive zones. They hop around slowly and explode on impact if they reach you.

 

     - Volatile Exors are even more dangerous and roam the Dusk and Mist Reactors. These towering creatures will aggressively charge at you and can detonate upon death.

 

 

     To get Plutonic Carapace, you’ll need to defeat these creatures without letting them explode in your face. Easier said than done, but don’t worry - we’ve got a few strategies to help.

 

 

How to Kill Volatile Pests for Plutonic Carapace

 

     Volatile Pests are smaller but incredibly deadly if they get too close. Here’s the best way to deal with them:

 

     - Use ranged weapons: Shotguns and energy-based rifles work well since you don’t want these pests getting close enough to explode.

 

 

     - Aim for the legs: If you disable their movement, you can finish them off before they lunge at you.

 

     - Use traps: Pests can be caught using Pest Traps if you bait them with 3 Nachos or Anteverse Wheat. Once tamed, they won’t attack, and you can safely harvest them.

 

     Each Volatile Pest has a 50% chance to drop Plutonic Carapace when killed.

 

 

How to Kill Volatile Exors for Plutonic Carapace

 

     Volatile Exors are massive, heavily armored beasts found in Dusk and Mist Reactors. Unlike Pests, they have multiple attacks, including:

 

     - Leaping Tackle – Can launch across large distances.

 

     - Claw Swipes – Sharp melee strikes that cause bleeding.

 

     - Warcry – Stuns players briefly.

 

     - Detonate – If not killed fast enough, it will explode, dealing massive acid and explosive damage.

 

 

     To farm Plutonic Carapace from Volatile Exors, follow these tips:

 

     - Go for the legs: If you can stagger them, you’ll have time to land more hits.

 

     - Avoid letting them explode: If their health is low, kill them quickly to prevent self-destruction.

 

     - Use terrain to your advantage: Fighting them in tight spaces is a bad idea - keep a distance to dodge their leaps.

 

     - Target weak points: Exors have 1,500 HP on their heads and torsos, so aim for critical damage.

 

     Volatile Exors have a 100% drop rate for Plutonic Carapace, making them the best farming target if you can handle them.

 

 

Uses of Plutonic Carapace

 

     Once you’ve collected Plutonic Carapace, what can you do with it? Here are some possible uses:

 

     - Crafting high-tier armor: Due to its near-impenetrable properties, Plutonic Carapace is an essential ingredient in late-game armor.

 

     - Biological research: Some crafting stations allow you to extract bio-materials from the Carapace for further research.

 

     - Trading and upgrading gear: Certain NPCs may trade or require this resource for unique upgrades.

 

     And the most important thing you will craft is Transuranic Superalloy, which you need to activate the Dusk Reactor.

 

 

     Plutonic Carapace is a rare but valuable resource in Abiotic Factor, requiring players to face some of the deadliest creatures in the game. With the right strategy, gear, and a little patience, you’ll be swimming in Plutonic Carapace in no time.
