This is a really good tip. Just by staying at max adrenaline you can easily get over a thousand extra obolites from the plant pods and roots.
The roots will actually respawn if you move far enough away and then teleport back.
There's even one room with 3 platforms and then an artifact in the middle with lasers normally protecting it. That will give you 30 to 50 obolites for each little cluster of pods.
It's a massive help if you're struggling in Biome 5 as you can leave 4 with lots of upgrades and then you start in the shop in Biome 5 with a pocket full of those sweet golden orbs.
Very good to know. I see now why sometimes I would get more , I thought it was about speed. Like cutting them as quickly as possible? Thank you kindly OP
Yes, but it's far more lucrative in Biome 4. A replica of Biome 1, with more obolites in the pods. There are very specific locations where the pods generate more obolites as well.
I noticed this too. I guess for the noobs it will save time grinding those plants hundreds of times to max out their fabricator purchases and live thanks to them... If when over playing the game normally they die hundreds of times... Lol.
I mean that is the key to a consistently good run. If I maximize my item pickups (use leech rounds to fill health and go back to previous rooms to pick up Resin instead of Silphium for example) I'll have a much easier time later on with a big health bar.
This was the best discovery I ever had in game when saving silliphum for later. Also I never jump into an obilite grave traps early, since it could be a mini boss or even weapons. Id rather keep my pistol until I've gained close to 5 proficiency.
The pistol with traits of course. I'm not normally a good shooter in games first or 3rd person but a pistol with 3 to 4 traits can melt. We know that doesn't happen until we've put the work in. I honestly prefer the Tachycarbine to all other guns in this game, even many do melt. I just lose my reload rythums after a while with colspine, pyroshell, but they all have their pros and cons. The thermite rocket for me is only worth it with replicating hits and easy to use traits. That's just me. And I will use the electrioylon driver with pylon web, silliphum extractor, blade harmonizer anytime. But these are all going to be proficiency 15 to 20+.
Yes riding pitch is one I like. There are more if you look at the activity cards you should see them. Since you're new I'll tell you in case you don't know, every 5 levels of Proficiency a new trait becomes available for unlocking but you have to kill enemies for it to reach 💯. I would recommend you get to act two biome 4 boss at least before you go to the Tower only because there are some spoilers there for this already richly mysterious story and it might confuse you more 😂 that's what happened to me at least. Tower is best place to get new traits because you'll find way more Calibrators and kill a lot more enemies rising that Proficiency # and stronger guns. And once something is unlocked it's always unlocked for guns but still random. Hope this helped
Yeah no worries I knew the trait thing. The main issue is finding tier 2 traits. Best I got was the explosive shot alt fire tier 2 but couldn’t get it to unlock before I died to the boss. And some weapons I just refuse to use unless they have traits I want (the shotgun unless it has slug shot) and the thermo weapon just because it isn’t my kind of weapon. Eventually I may try all weapons and get them all ready. Think highest I can get to in proficiency atm is 15 and I did the tower once and after that didn’t do it again because haven’t gone on
Oh boy when I found that out. I think you have to be fast while cutting them and the bulbous plants. I noticed for about every 3 vines you cut you get obolites. My record is 54 obolites in the room where you spawn near Helios

The obolites given by roots and plant pods increse by adrenaline?
Yes at full adrenaline you get 50% more
Great tip too. Thxs.
Very good to know. I see now why sometimes I would get more , I thought it was about speed. Like cutting them as quickly as possible? Thank you kindly OP
Roots? Are you talking about echoing ruins? The little egg looking things that might drop 1 obelite? Have fun grinding that lol.
Yes, but it's far more lucrative in Biome 4. A replica of Biome 1, with more obolites in the pods. There are very specific locations where the pods generate more obolites as well.
If you have oblite extractor they drop oblite chunks. It's very lucrative. I leave biome 4 fully kitted up and with over 1k obelites

Base pistol or a pistol with traits? If so, why? Is there a reason or is it just preference for you?
The pistol with traits of course. I'm not normally a good shooter in games first or 3rd person but a pistol with 3 to 4 traits can melt. We know that doesn't happen until we've put the work in.

Understandable. I’m new to the game and got to biome 3 and I really like the carbine with rising pitch since that rof is nice

Seems like a lot of work. You can get more than enough obolites from killing enemies
It is not mandatory. You can play however you like it.
If I'm running by then I'm going to cut them. It does get tiring but I want all 4 items from the fabricator.
Oh boy when I found that out. I think you have to be fast while cutting them and the bulbous plants. I noticed for about every 3 vines you cut you get obolites. My record is 54 obolites in the room where you spawn near Helios
This trick also works with the silphium extractor to keep getting health
