In a combat-intensive action RPG like Scarlet Nexus, item crafting is an expected feature. Players can use materials found in the environment or dropped from enemies to obtain consumables, weapons, cosmetics, and other useful equipment. One material that that is needed in many exchanges early on in Scarlet Nexus is Battle Record B. It is needed as an exchange item for several battle items and weapons. This short guide will explain which Others drop Battle Record B and where to find them.
Some players will spend a decent chunk of time farming for enemy drops in Scarlet Nexus. Using materials dropped from enemies is a cheaper way to obtain items and gear upgrades compared to buying them outright. This is important, as money can be scarce in the early game and beyond. Keeping each party member kitted with the most up-to-date gear is especially important at higher difficulties. Learning early on where to find certain enemies and farm them efficiently is a powerful skill.
How to Get Battle Record B in Scarlet Nexus
Battle Record B is a relatively common drop from certain Others. A few more Battle Record varieties, including Battle Record A and Battle Record S, are rarer. Compared to those, Battle Record B is easier to obtain and can be earned by fighting weak enemies in some lower-end areas during the early phases of Scarlet Nexus. Listed below are enemies that drop Battle Record B, along with their spawning locations.
- Scummy Pool (Abandoned Line 9 - Hirasaka Station Entrance/Exit, Old OSF Hospital - Old Ward)
- Fuel Pool (Kikuchiba - Upper-Level Construction Site, SLRF - Museum Ruins)
- Scummy Rummy (Kikuchiba - Sub-Level Underground Facility, SLRF - Museum Ruins)
- Buddy Rummy (Mizuhagawa NCD Dist. - Construction Site)
- Kitchen Rummy (Kunad Highway - Suoh Exit)
- Rainy Rummy (Abandoned Line 9 - Inside Abandoned Line, Hieno Mountain - Trailhead ~ Togetsu Area)
- Scummy Pendu (Kikuchiba - Upper-Level Construction Site, Kunad Highway - Suoh Exit)
- Plateau Pendu (Mizuhagawa NCD Dist. - Construction Site)
- Vase Paws (Kikuchiba - Mid-Level Shopping District, Arahabaki Secure Site - Bridge of Purity)
- Rat Rut (Kunad Highway - Junction, Hieno Mountain - Trailhead ~ Togetsu Area)
- Cut Rut (BABE)
Some of these enemies are also targets for certain side missions. For example, players will need to hunt Vase Paws for the Surprise Test quest. Those who want to get the most out of the game should check the town areas for new quests before heading out for farming or level grinding. Quests can be picked up in Suoh, Seiran, and certain indoor areas like Musubi's.
As a final tip for players looking to farm materials, it would be wasteful not to use item hunting as a chance to level up. There are ways to level up faster in Scarlet Nexus, even during typical combat encounters. Gamers who expect to get into many extra battles should unlock Brain Map enhancements that increase the experience earned from battle. Those that do so early will be at a huge advantage later on in the game.
