Trophy Display Project: Required Items

Reddit user gifv_Kayla made this excellent graphic that lets you check everything at a glance. As hinted by Embark Studios on their announcement, this Trophy Display Project is heavily focused on loot directly acquired from ARC enemies.

Here are all the required items in text form, where you can find them, and the rewards for each step.

Step One: Roaming Threats

Required Items:

3x Rusted Bolts- Found in Industrial and Mechanical areas.
15x Pop Trigger- Always dropped by Pops.
15x Tick Pod- Always dropped by Ticks.
5x Surveyor Vault- These are usually looted from Surveyors, but they don’t have a 100% drop chance. Thankfully, you can also find them by looting ARC Couriers.

Step One Rewards:

10x Mod Components
3x Power Rod
10x Raider Tokens
1x Light Gun Parts Blueprint

Step Two: Soaring Menaces

Required Items:

10x Spotter Relay- Always dropped by Spotters. There are always two guarding a Bombardier, and they keep respawning unless you kill the Bombardier.
3x Expired Respirator- Found in Medical areas.
20x Wasp Driver- 100% drop from Wasps.
15x Hornet Driver- 100% drop from Hornets.

Step Two Rewards:

3x Vita Spray
3x Photoelectric Cloak
20x Raider Tokens
1x Vita Shot Blueprint

Step Three: Ferocious Foes

Required Items:

10x ARC Performance Steel- Most ARCs can drop these, but you’ll have an easier time finding them by looting ARC Probes.
5x Shredder Gyro- 100x drop from Shredders.
10x Leaper Pulse Unit- Leaper will drop at least one, can drop up to three or four if you are lucky.
5x Bastion Cell- Bastions will drop any number between one and four cells.

Step Three Rewards:

1x Kinetic Converter
3x Anvil Splitter
30x Raider Tokens
1x Shotgun Silencer Blueprint

Step Four: Dominant Dangers

This is where things get tricky. Required Items:

10x ARC Synthetic Resin- Dropped by multiple ARC enemies and found in Baron Husks.
10x Magnetic Accelerator- Crafted in Refiner 3. 2x Advanced Mechanical Components and 2x ARC Motion Cores make 1x Magnetic Accelerator.
8x Rocketeer Driver- Dropped by Rocketeers. We’ve found up to four in a single Rocketeer.
3x Queen Reactor- You can find these in any piece of armor dropped by the Queen, but Embark nerfed those drop rates in the most recent patch. So you’re better off killing the queen with a group and looting the main body for Reactors now.

Step Four Rewards:

1x Bobcat IV
5x Wolfpack
40x Raider Tokens
1x Bobcat Blueprint

Step Five: Imposing Behemoths

And here they get even trickier. Required Items:

8x Bombardier Cell- 100% drop from Bombardier.
3x Matriarch Reactor- You can find these in any piece of armor dropped by the Matriarch, but Embark nerfed those drop rates in the most recent patch. So you’re better off killing the Matriarch with a group and looting the main body for Reactors now.
