How to Raise Immunity
- •Survive negative effects from stimulants and provisions in raid. Roughly 0.0045 points per second of debuff duration, awarded when the effect ends
- •Quest rewards: Crisis, The Huntsman Path - Relentless, and Get a Foothold
Fastest Way to Level
- 1.Drink a Can of Max Energy every 5 minutes: its short stress resistance debuff is the cheapest reliable point source
- 2.The 2A2-(b-TG) injector carries a 15 minute hydration debuff. Bring extra drinks and let it run
- 3.Extracting ends the debuff early and cuts your points, so pop debuffs early in the raid, not at the end
- 4.Watch out: a high Metabolism skill shortens debuff durations, which reduces Immunity gains per use
Remember the per-raid decay: gains slow sharply after 2 points in a raid and reset after 200 seconds without progress. The full system is explained on the skills hub.
