The Monde Armor
In Alpha 4.7, the most sought-after new gear added to the game is the new Monde Armor set, specifically the metallic chrome Daimyo variant. These sets are exclusive to the high-security Storage Depots of the QV Breaker Stations.
Forget mining—we’re here for the loot.
🚨 IMPORTANT UPDATE: Breaker Station Changes 🚨
Loot mechanics and access at QV Breaker Stations have shifted following recent hotfixes:
- Loot Respawns: No longer triggered by leaving/returning. It’s now on a 15–30 minute fixed timer. You’ll need to wait it out or farm between event phases while completing the event.
- Power Requirement: Storage Depots may now be LOCKED unless power is restored first, you do not have to restart the system in Operations to access the Storage Depot.
- The Fix: If locked, you must collect 4 capacitors to restore power and access all 4 loot rooms in the Storage Depot.
- Keycards: The NPC with the keycard is still spawning normally with the rest of the hostiles and repopulate upon leaving or on a time.
As of current this and other changes to Rock Breaker seem intended currently. Stay tuned for more details.

For the most reliable farming, I highly recommend the Exclusive Contract. While the 850k entry fee seems high, it is the only way to guarantee the loot you’re looking for is actually there.
Exclusive Contract (850,000 aUEC)
The “Pro Choice.” It ensures a strictly PvE interior so you can loot in peace. The Best Part: You can typically complete 5+ full runs per payment before the loot spawns stop refreshing, making the “per-run” cost much lower than it looks at first glance.
Shared Contract (175,000 aUEC)
A high-risk PvPvE contested zone. It’s cheaper upfront, but you’ll be competing with up to five other player groups for the same armor containers as well as those players preventing resets. This makes it far less consistent for actually providing loot.
Before heading to the station, I highly emphasize not using a medical bed ship as your respawn point for this farm. In this case, simply tie yourself to a home location of your choosing in Nyx. Feel free to bring a medbed ship, but use it for healing injuries exclusively. I also want to emphasize that while this entire method is soloable, you will have a much easier time with additional support from friends.
Loadout wise before heading in, I recommend for this a Pulverizer as the ammo for the gun is heavily available around the Storage Depot location ensuring you never run out of ammo. Be sure to bring a heavy set of armor, and the biggest backpack you can for looting, and normal medical supplies like a medgun and some pens.
When you arrive on site, don’t enter through the main Power Core entrance next to the pads as we do not need to return power to the station. Instead, park your ship right next to the laser barrel. Enter on the side opposite the internal walkway you use to install the lenses during a normal activation run.
From here, enter the airlock, and then hug the far-left wall tightly. You’ll need to fight your way up a short set of stairs, take out the NPCs to the right of the stairs usually hiding behind some seating, but your goal is to board the trolleys that take you back into the Storage Depot ASAP to minimize combat.
Especially if you’re running solo, go ahead and lay down during the ride. Besides an occasional grenade, you should hit little to no resistance during the trip this way.
Once the trolley comes to a stop, take out the enemies on your immediate right first through the trolley windows. Take out the NPCs behind the crate and forklift next, and then take out the NPCs congregating at the end of the hall as much as you can before moving forward.
Once they stop popping out you will need to take out the NPCs hiding behind cover on the elevated section, the best way to do this is slowly move up on them, and take shots that miss near where they are hiding which should coax them out from behind cover and allow you to land some shots. Repeat this until things appear clear.
Push up and continue to hug the left wall and move up the steps and clear this area, typically you will see a special NPC that has a keycard to the loot in the open above the steps, and several NPCs off to the right still along that covered section from earlier. Clear these out and approach the special NPC, you can tell which one it is by the special outfit with red stripes as well as a white helmet with a red pattern between the eyes as shown here.
Go into the NPCs inventory grab the key, if you have issues with doing this cycle the inventory tabs on both sides of your screen and looting should eventually work properly. Once you grab this key head up the stairs next to the NPC and go up, take out the one sniper NPC up here and check the first orange armor container for a Monde Armor backpack.
Once you check this turn around and look at the table, you should see a second keycard, grab it and move on, be sure to store your gun before doing this or the key can bug out and will fail to go to your inventory.
Now you have enough keys to open 2 of the 4 loot doors, don’t worry about your choice to much here, you will have the ability to open the rest by the end of this guide. Be aware while each of these sections normally gives the designated armor described, there is always a chance to get additional pieces of Monde Armor, other gear, as well as medals so be sure to check every box each time you enter a Secured Storage loot section.
Once you have clear the two loot rooms its time to go back out of the facility the same way you came in, and return to your ship. Now jump to the nearest facility or a home location of your choosing, I personally setup at the Pyro Gateway in Nyx and flew back and fourth when I found good loot. Go ahead and store what you have found and return back to the facility, on return simply repeat what we did before to reach the Storage Depot.
Once you are back in the NPCs should be reset including the Special NPC with the keycard, work your way up to him, and loot him for a 3rd key and open an additional door and check for loot. Whats even better now, is the loot for the other rooms should have normally reset as well, clear the other two rooms you looted the first time again. Once you have cleared those 3 loot rooms, leave once more, and jump back to your preferred station or home location, store everything again return again and repeat. The Special NPC should once more have a key, open the final loot room, and check all 4 rooms for loot.
Now that all 4 doors are unlocked you can simply leave and go back and loot these rooms over and over again. Be sure to grab the special NPC’s keycard every single run, as you can bank them and they are not location specific and can be used at any Rock Breaker Station location. Also, the table keycard can respawn sometimes as well, so be sure to check the table on your repeat runs.
The only real catch here is that after doing this usually 5 or more times it feels like there is a chance the loot will stop repopulating properly eventually, but I was unable to lock down an exact amount as it seemed inconsistent. Essentially just keep doing runs on the same location until you no longer get repopulated loot, once this occurs head back to where you have been storing your loot, and abandon the Rock Breaker Contract, grab another, and repeat the process again. If you stored the extra keys from your previous runs, you should be able to open all of the doors eventually on your first run on the new contract.
Good luck farming the new Monde Armor!
