Insulated Metallic Foil is a rare material that is surprisingly easy to farm, but only if you know where to get it in The First Descendant. You’ll need to farm these to get one of Ultimate Viessa’s materials as well as other Descendant and weapon materials. Here’s how to get Insulated Metallic Foils easily in The First Descendant.
How to Farm Insulated Metallic Foils in The First Descendant
Insulated Metallic Foils only drop from Infiltration Operations in the Kingston region. You can do these missions on either normal or hard difficulty, and you will still get Insulated Metallic Foils. Here are the two Infiltration Operations:
- Magister Lab
- Slumber Valley
If you have done the final Bunny questline, that mission is identical to the Magister Lab. It is quite hard because of the boss, but at least you can grab a party and finish this type of content together.
Best Way to Farm Insulated Metallic Foils
The best way to farm Insulated Metallic Foils is to spam Magister Lab. You can finish the operation in under 3 minutes, and the only objective that is time-gated is the first objective, where you need to stay around the circle until it reaches 100%. You’ll fight an elite commander here and the next objective and you’ll have a chance to get Insulated Metallic Foils from them.
If you want to run it fast, you can abandon the mission once you get the Insulated Metallic Foils to save some time. However, Magister Lab is also one of the best ways to get some easy Amorphous Material Patterns to farm Energy Activator Blueprints and Crystallization Catalyst Blueprints.
What Are Insulated Metallic Foils Used For?
Insulated Metallic Foils are used for the following research:
Product | Insulated Metallic Foils Needed |
Smithereens Polymer Syncytium | 8 |
The Final Masterpiece Synthetic Fiber Blueprint | 8 |
Jayber Enhanced Cells | 34 |
Ultimate Viessa Enhanced Cells | 76 |
Considering how easy it is to run Magister Labs compared to other Infiltration Operations, Insulated Metallic Foils are quite easy to get. The materials needed to craft the Ultimate Viessa Enhanced Cells are also quite generous, again, if compared to other rare materials. Overall, this farm should be a breeze and I suggest getting a fast runner like Bunny to farm these up.
