Cyte-09 — The Neutralizer

Don’t build this yet

First Scope first

This loadout sits at Optimised. It wants Forma, Helminth, or shards you may not have. Play the Starter until those systems are open — then this page is the upgrade, not the homework.

Why this build?

Optimised for Netracells, Archon, EDA. You have Helminth or you don't need it.

Health: Not yet — Helminth, Steel Path, or Archon Hunts still closed. Play the Starter.

• Neutralizer is a real exalted sniper as of 1999. Empty grid = a toy. Modded grid = rooms vanish.
• Resupply's sniper double bonus is why you do not press R.
• Passive weak-point kills stack crit chance for the whole mission. Sit in tiles and farm the stack.

Don’t use this for: new accounts · Star Chart only · timed Exterminate as the damage · frames played as a gun platform only

Helminth, shards, and a finished configuration

You don’t need the shards to run the loop. They are a later ceiling, not a gate.

Bring: Neutralizer (exalted sniper) — Open Neutralize's own gun grid. Spectral Serration (you are invisible), Primary Acuity, Critical Delay, Vital Sense, a 90% elemental, Hammer Shot. This grid is the build.

My test

Did this still work for you?

Your note, in this browser. Separate from Codex verification — the stamp on the card is editorial, this is yours.

Your next step

Next: The Neutralizer — Endgame

Unlock Helminth, Steel Path, or Archon Hunts before this upgrade is honest.

Tonight

What is actually up

30 minutes, one hour, or two — matched to this loadout, not a dump of the Origin System.

1. 30 minutes

   Farm Dead Eye

   One named gap. Conclave / Nightwave

2. 60 minutes

   Dead Eye, then Forma

   Finish the missing named card, then spend a Forma if a polarity is still fighting you.

3. 120 minutes

   One Archon Hunt

   If you are logging off after this, stop at the named component. Do not start a second Forma session tired.

• Farm Dead Eye

  Conclave / Nightwave

Depends on

What this loadout needs

Required is a gate. Recommended is a ceiling. Optional is a later farm — don’t stall the card for it.
