Community reports indicate that you can find a Frigate Inductor in the ship's black circular breachable containers without finishing the event. We recommend boarding at the rear, searching accessible containers, and extending topside only when you have the supplies and route knowledge to return safely.

Find the Containers Before Attempting a Full Clear

The target is the black circular breach-and-search container, not necessarily the final loot area. A player reports finding searchable containers topside after entering on the left and clearing Hydras on both sides.

Follow the reported route

1. Approach the rear of the Frigate. A published walkthrough describes flying ARC moving between the ship and ground as the boarding and return platforms.

2. Board while avoiding the underside weapon. Recover before entering another exposed section.

3. Search accessible circular containers near your entry.

4. Check the left-side route toward the topside. The community account recommends it, but does not document every foothold.

5. Clear threats blocking unopened containers, then reassess before advancing.

The boarding walkthrough describes some higher platforms becoming accessible after yellow wall targets are destroyed. Do not assume every climb is available immediately, or that movement equipment bypasses every progression gate. 

Choose How Far to Push

More searchable containers also mean more combat. We separate a short loot attempt from a topside clear rather than treating a heavy loadout as mandatory for every boarding.

Use your current situation to set the stopping point:

Skip the next section if reaching it would consume the supplies reserved for your return.

One player reports 8–10 containers after clearing Hydras on both sides. That is a reported search opportunity—not a guaranteed spawn count, solo clear time, or drop rate.

Keep the fire vent optional

The available sources do not establish reliable fire-vent timing or a guaranteed container payoff. We exclude a fixed coil-clearing sequence from this route.

If you have not learned the vent mechanic, skip it. Do not test an unfamiliar hazard while carrying the Inductor.

Confirm the Return Route Before Boarding

The walkthrough identifies the rear flying ARC as transport both up and down. Check that return access before moving into deeper sections; carrying a movement tool alone does not establish a usable exit.

Our priority after finding the item is ship descent, then ground extraction—not another container or nearby body.

Keep your first Inductor if you still need Research Station level 4. Both the acquisition thread and a fan-maintained item database identify it as an upgrade material.

Can you get a Frigate Inductor without completing the event?

Yes, according to community reports of container drops. The cited evidence supports searching the ship's circular breachable containers, but does not establish an official loot table.

Where do you board the Frigate?

The published walkthrough places boarding at the rear, using flying ARC that travel between the ground and ship. It also describes those platforms as the return transport, so identify them before advancing.

Which containers can contain a Frigate Inductor?

Players report finding it in the Frigate's black circular breach-and-search containers. One account recommends the left-side climb toward topside containers after clearing Hydras.

How many runs does a Frigate Inductor take?

No verified run count or drop rate is available from these sources. The reported 8–10 containers describes one player's route, not how many searches guarantee an Inductor.

Can you farm the Frigate Inductor solo with a free kit?

We recommend restricting a free-kit attempt to accessible containers rather than planning a topside clear. If the next section requires sustained combat or an unfamiliar progression mechanic, leave instead of extending the run.
