¶ Points of Interest
¶ How to spot them
Each map contains a random number of
Points of Interest (POIs).
Their icon looks like either a gemstone (samples inside) or a lozenge (samples collected; other loot may remain like Medals or Super Credits).
You may spot them by identifying building-like shapes on the map. When you’re nearby, they also show as a question mark on your compass.
Another method is to wear Scout armor, which may trigger the "Point of Interest" message when scanning the map with your cursor — this isn't perfect but helps while farming.
¶ Requisition slips
Maximum: 
50.000
Requisition slips are used to buy stratagems, advanced ship modules, and weapon upgrades.
Completing a 
10 | Super Helldive mission — even just its main objective followed by depleting all your reinforcements — rewards you with about 5.000 Requisition slips.
Best method: do Blitz: Destroy Illuminate Warp Ship/Blitz: Search and Destroy missions in Illuminate/Automaton Megacities, using Any% speedrun tactics: destroy warp ships/fabricators, then deplete all your reinforcements.

¶ Samples
| Icon | Type | Maximum |
|---|---|---|
 |
Common | 500 |
 |
Rare | 250 |
 |
Super | 100 |
Blitz: Search and Destroy missions on 10 | Super Helldive in the Automaton front are the best way to get all sample types.
Common and Rare samples are found in outposts, POIs, and extraction areas.
¶ Common samples goldmine
On 10 | Super Helldive, Cleanse Infested District (megacity maps only, Terminid front) gives 80 Common samples — double the normal. About 10 appear at each Infested Tower's base.
¶ Rare samples audio clue
Rare samples look like either minerals (20s audio) or flowers (10s audio) and make a unique sound:
¶ Find Super samples
In regular and colony maps, you'll find them all in the same unique Point of Interest. Find a rock structure of this shape with silver veins.
Some missions may feature 2 rocks of this type, but only one will contain the Super samples.
Best method: do Blitz: Search and Destroy missions on 10 | Super Helldive in the Automaton front.
¶ More Rare and Super
10 | Super Helldive missions feature Automaton Fortresses and Terminid Mega Nests. Within them, you'll find either an Automaton Skull or a Terminid Egg. If you manage to extract with them, you'll get extra Rare and Super samples.
¶ Super Credits
Maximum: 
15.000
¶ Farming method
POIs always contains one of these random loots:
- Medals
- Rare samples
- Requisition slips
- Super Credits
- Support weapons
Since Rare samples only spawn at level 
4 | Challenging and higher, low level missions are optimal to farm Super Credits because you have higher chances to find them.
Best method: do level 
1 | Trivial missions in Hive World planets. They're very FRV and solo friendly since there are no bunkers POIs. Nonetheless, there are 2 main ways to get into them solo.
¶ Get into bunkers solo
The Control Group premium warbond (costs 1000 Super Credits) features the Warp Pack that allows you to go through certain structures, including POIs Bunker you could only open with a second player.
In the meantime, you can use the lag abuse glitch to get into bunkers solo.
As shown in the video, spam alt+enter after diving.
It was recorded before the Group Control release. Now you can pick up the loot no matter how you got into the bunker.
¶ Weapon levels
Weapon XP is earned by bringing (not directly using) a weapon in a mission.
Best method: do Blitz: Destroy Illuminate Warp Ships missions on 10 | Super Helldive in the Illuminate front, using Any% speedrun tactics: destroy warp ships, then deplete all your reinforcements.
