Armor Case: Where to Search in Quasimorph

Armor Case quick reference

A focused Armor Case search route

1. 01

   Choose category overlap

   Start with contracts whose station type can expose Security, Military. A location matching more than one relevant pool is a better research target than a random stop, but mission generation and container rolls still matter.

2. 02

   Search the right containers first

   Read room purpose and container context before opening everything. Secure objective and extraction safety first, then inspect category-aligned storage while keeping enough actions to retreat from an unseen room.

3. 03

   Protect the first confirmed copy

   Bank the first copy if it unlocks a recipe, objective, or collection need in your current campaign. Do not turn a rare find into speculative barter cargo before checking the ship and station interfaces.

4. 04

   Verify after patches

   Compare the item tooltip, station type, container context, and game version with this page. Category research improves when observations include failed searches as well as successful finds.

What this mapping does and does not prove

A security and military container sharing the same broad location logic as weapon cases, useful when planning focused military-site runs. Category mapping is useful because it converts a vague question — “where can this item exist?” — into a short list of plausible mission environments. It does not replace the random loot roll, mission rules, faction state, or the need to survive extraction.

The station list is derived from the relationship between item categories and the category pools reported for station types. A listed station can qualify without producing Armor Case on every visit, and an update can change the underlying tables. Use the list to reduce wasted routes, not to declare a run bugged after one empty container.

For a reproducible correction, note the patch, station type, faction, mission type, floor, container, and exact item name. That evidence is more valuable than an isolated screenshot because it lets other players distinguish a stable rule from an unusual roll or a renamed object.

Before committing a farming run

A fast pre-deployment check prevents a good search target from becoming a bad contract.

• Confirm the location is one of these working targets: Civilian, Colony Farm, Lab, Military, Space Station.
• Look for the relevant category signals: Security, Military.
• Bring enough treatment, ammunition, food, and durability for the route back to extraction.
• Leave inventory room for the target instead of filling the ship with low-value speculative cargo.
• Extract after a confirmed rare find when the remaining rooms are worth less than the item already carried.
• Re-check this page's date and the current game patch before repeating an old farming route.
