Tips for faster Battery farming
- Prioritize Tech-heavy zones such as power plants and maintenance rooms.
- Loot all small lockers and containers; batteries frequently spawn in these.
- Defeat ARC drones and machines, as they sometimes drop batteries.
- Keep high inventory slots free for batteries since they stack easily.
- Use extraction after collecting batteries from heavily populated enemy zones.
