The Best Shape Memory Alloy Farm in The First Descendant

You can get Shape Memory Alloy by opening Resource boxes and Munitions containers on Hagios. They will spawn in the playable areas, and you can pick them up by breaking the boxes or interacting with them. They will also spawn in both Normal and Hard mode, with no real difference in how much the boxes drop between both modes. You should get between 20 to 200 Shape Memory Alloy, depending on which box you are opening, but the amounts that drop are random.

I would suggest you farm in either Forward Base or The Corrupted Base. Resource and Munition box spawns seem to be tied to structure placement, so these two are the most structure-dense and will give you the best yields. Use your scanner, and you will see small white diamonds on the hut marking their locations, and then you can just make your way over and open them. They also seem to spawn a new one around 30 seconds after one is opened, so you shouldn’t need to reload to keep the farm going.
