Where do you get Cyber Chips?

Expeditions

You can get Cyber Chips by playing through Expeditions.

  • Mini Bosses
  • Golden Skitterlings

  • Each Chip has a unique shape and will only fit in to the same shaped slot 
  • You can replace Chips by slotting over them and in doing so the first Chip will be lost

  • Slot types:
    • Hex = Offensive
    • Oval = Defensive
    • Square = Sustaining
    • Diamond = Miscellaneous
    • Trapezoid = Keystone (Legendary Rigs Only) 

Use of Chip Pullers

Cyber Chips can also be removed from slots by using a Chip Puller
