Exor farming: confirmed drops, spawn locations, and kill efficiency

Confirmed Exor drop table

Total maximum drop: 1 Raw Exor Heart, 1 Exor Arm, up to 5 Exor Quills, potentially 1 Raw Alien Drumstick, plus Bio Scrap.

The corpse-harvest mechanic

After killing an Exor, the corpse can be harvested with any sharp weapon (Kitchen Knife, Shiv, Makeshift Spear, or similar) to collect remains. The quality of remains depends on the weapon used.

Without harvesting, you only collect items that drop directly on death. The full drop table requires the harvest step.

Workflow:

1. Kill the Exor
2. Equip a sharp weapon
3. Interact with the corpse to harvest
4. Collect all drops including Bio Scrap

Exor variants

Standard Exor: Base drop table above. Nets are highly effective: a netted Exor cannot attack and can be killed safely.

Exor Monk: Teleports after laser attacks. Nets prevent the teleport. If you're fighting Exor Monks, carry nets or avoid laser-type weapons. Post-teleport positioning is unpredictable without a net to lock them down.

Armored Exor: Found in Hydroplant. Tougher variant with higher resource requirements to kill. The same drop table applies but with increased difficulty.

Spawn locations by efficiency

For dedicated farming, Mycofields provides the highest density of Exor spawns per run, but requires full fire protection. See the Mycofields Survival Guide.

Choose the farming route by risk, not only density

The highest-density route is not always the best route for the current session. Use Mycofields when protection and extraction are ready. Use lower-density sector spawns when the goal is one guaranteed Heart or Arm and the player does not want to risk fire-zone recovery.

This is the farming decision that matters most. A slow but safe route beats a fast route that ends with lost supplies.

Drop priority

If you're farming Exors for a specific item:

• Raw Exor Heart and Exor Arm: 100% drop: one kill per item needed
• Exor Quills: Minimum 3 per kill, up to 5: efficient to farm in bulk since variance is low
• Raw Alien Drumstick: 50%: plan for 2x kills per drumstick needed on average

Expected yield per farming session

Planning guide for session targets:

Farming session setup

Before a dedicated Exor farming run:

1. Confirm protection gear for the target portal world (Mycofields requires fire resistance)
2. Carry nets if farming Exor Monks: prevents teleport and allows clean kills
3. Have a sharp weapon ready for corpse harvesting after each kill
4. Know your exit condition: number of target items or supply threshold, whichever comes first

Kill-to-harvest sequence

Treat every Exor as two actions: kill, then harvest. If the second step is forgotten, the route loses value even if the combat went well.

1. Start the fight in a known retreat lane.
2. Net or control the Exor if the variant can disrupt positioning.
3. Kill the Exor without walking deeper into a new spawn area.
4. Switch to the sharp harvesting weapon immediately.
5. Harvest the corpse before looting unrelated containers.
6. Deposit rare drops before adding optional objectives to the run.

The order prevents the common mistake where a player wins the fight, chases more loot, then leaves without the corpse harvest that made the kill valuable.

Exor Quills use cases

Exor Quills are among the most useful Exor drops due to the consistent yield. Common uses:

Farm Exor Quills in bulk when you have the opportunity. The 70% chance for extra drops means variance is manageable: most kills yield 4-5 quills.

Corpse harvesting tool selection

The wiki notes that the quality of remains obtained depends on the weapon used for harvesting. Practical guidance:

Keep a dedicated harvesting weapon in your loadout on Exor farming runs. Switching from your combat weapon to a sharp weapon after each kill adds one extra step but ensures you get the full drop table including Bio Scrap.

Session stop rules

Stop the run when the target drop is secured, when the sharp harvesting weapon is low, or when healing reserves fall below the amount needed to extract. Exor farming becomes inefficient when the player keeps adding objectives after the main material is already in inventory.

Bank the materials first. Return for a second route after repairs and storage cleanup.
