Hello everyone;
I’ve found a melee weapon I’ve really been enjoying, the Tatsu Prime. However I don’t have it’s only stance mod, Wise Razor, and checking the wiki it’s only obtainable through random transmutation or hunting Coolant Racknoids. Has anyone hunted this mod down recently? What’s the grind like for acquisition? Any tips on doing so?
You can either follow the Exploiter Orb around Fortuna which will passively spawn in more Coolant Raknoids, or play through the Exploiter Orb quest.
If you want to farm the roaming Exploiter orb, I would probably try using Ivara and using Prowl to loot. Take a Chesa Kubrow with you for a chance to get some extra drops on death (you can try the new Elusive Posture mod for Claws to keep it from running off) and you can also stack on Petrify with the Ore Gaze Augment for an extra shot at getting drops. You can find her doing laps in the north around the Tower of Profit.
If you’re trying to farm her in the Exploiter Orb quest, Nekros with the Ripkas and their Almalgam Ripkas True Steel mod. You can also try Ore Gaze on Nekros too, enemies dying while petrified replaces the need for Amalgam Ripkas True Steel, and the Chesa Kubrow does not stack with Desecrate. You can put on Shattering impact to armor strip the Exploiter Orb for a bit more damage during the damage phase if you really want to. If you plan on completing the quest, stockpile (4-5 extra canisters) some charged Thermia Canisters before entering the final phase. She bugs out and rarely opens fissures unless she starts to overheat a little. If you don’t care about actually finishing the quest then you don’t need a stockpile of canisters for the final phase.
Thanks! I’ll go hunting for it later, hopefully it doesn’t take me too long.
