Despite the recent nerf to the Valby run in Fortress, it remains one of the top locations to farm for Kyper, gold, modules, and reactors. The reason is simple: you get a ton of enemies in a short amount of time in a very small location, making it an efficient and effective farming spot.

Location and Strategy
The Valby run is located in the most northern part of your map in Fortress. To reach it, head to the Defensive Line district and then to the Defensive Line Outpost. The specific outpost, Vocus Outpost, is just south of this location. Upon entering, you will find four reactors that need to be destroyed.

Steps:
- Destroy the Reactors: Start by blowing up the four reactors.
- Engage the Boss: Shoot the boss until he has magnetic balls over his head (usually three or four).
- Farm Enemies: Run around in circles, focusing on killing the spawned enemies instead of the boss. This keeps the mission ongoing, allowing you to farm continuously.
Efficiency
In one run lasting about 2 minutes and 38 seconds, you can net approximately 12,000 Kyper and 235,000 gold, not including the additional Kyper and parts you’ll get from dismantling modules and weapons.
Tips:
- Fail the Mission: Ideally, fail the mission to avoid waiting for the one-minute cooldown. Leave the area briefly and return to reset the mission.
- Avoid Killing the Boss: Focus solely on farming enemies to maximize loot and XP.
