Early Progression & Farming Strategies

For early Atlas progression in 3.28, common community strategies include:

Map Completion Focus: Using nodes like "Unwavering Vision" for increased map drop chances, modifier effect, and pack size to speed through the Atlas.
Speed Mechanics: Combining "fast" mechanics like Shrines, Delve, and Essences for character power and quick mapping.
Heist Sustainability: New updates allow for up to a 100% chance to find Smuggler's Caches in maps through Atlas nodes, making Heist farming highly sustainable early on.
