Scavenging for credits is possibly the last thing on your mind when you’re attempting to escape the Black Iron Prison in The Callisto Protocol. However, Callisto Credits are the main currency in the game, and you’ll need a hefty supply of them in order to stay alive. This guide teaches you all of the quick credit farming methods so that you can enjoy the game without having to worry about your wallet. Let’s get started.
Prioritize Biophage Enemies
Although most of the loot is RNG based, you can manipulate the drop tables for biophage enemies. Once killed, biophage enemies can drop credits, health, or ammo. If you’re low on health and ammo, then the biophage enemy will most likely drop either of those. So if you’re farming them for credits, make sure your health and ammo are close to max.
Stomp on Enemy Corpses
While stomping on the corpses of enemies in the game, it is unlikely that you will receive much credits. However, since this action takes only a short amount of time, it is still worth doing.
Selling Ammo
As you play through the game, you will collect a lot of items, including ammo. You may find it tempting to sell all your accumulated ammo for a big payout. However, it’s not always the best idea, as holding onto your ammo can be more beneficial in the long run. Only sell your ammo when you truly need credits, as you never know when you might need ammo in the future.
Getting lucky while playing
In The Callisto Protocol, credits are scattered randomly throughout the prison in the form of small bundles. While exploring, keep an eye out for empty prison cells which often hold a decent amount of credits. The locker rooms can also contain credits, so be sure to search them thoroughly as they can be easy to miss. Additionally, look out for Printers, Energy Converters, and Decoders which can only be sold for credits and have no other use.
Look for Chests
Hidden throughout the Black Iron Prison are secret chests that contain a substantial amount of credits and sellable items. However, there aren’t many of these chests, and actively searching for them can be a waste of time unless you really want to do it. Instead, focus on playing the game and keep an eye out for these chests while exploring.
Look for Optional Areas
If you’re looking for a quick way to earn a lot of credits in Black Iron Prison, the Beta Paths might be worth exploring. These paths can lead you to hidden areas of the prison that contain valuable loot. However, be warned that they can also be dangerous, as some of the chests may contain infected bugs or lead you into areas filled with enemies that could easily overwhelm you.
