Gathering Tips[edit | edit source]

Cryotic is primarily obtained by accomplishing Excavation missions, which is the only mission type that rewards Cryotic in large quantities. Completing an Excavation cycle will grant 100 Cryotic. Although this is not stated during an Excavation mission, Resource Boosters do in fact double Cryotic earnings at the mission's end. Resourceful Retriever and Loyal Retriever double pickup will also double Cryotic earnings, provided that the doubling chances of 18% and 13% respectively, trigger. The difficulty of the Excavation mission does not affect the amount of Cryotic being awarded.

And while it's no guarantee you'll get it, Cryotics sometimes appear as a Daily Tribute award.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

  • The name Cryotic stems from the Greek word κρύο (cryo), which translates to cold.
  • Cryotic appears to be a mutagenic hazard that affects wildlife through excessive exposure, as shown in the Shifting Sands Tactical Alert where Desert Skates were mutated by Cryotic exposure into larger, tougher forms.
  • Interestingly, a single Cryotic unit can be used to sustain a snowdrift/snowman permanently (as described in certain Clan Dojo decorations), fitting its purpose as a super-cooler.
