TipsEdit

Hexenon can be effectively farmed from the Cameria or Sinai nodes on Jupiter. Due to being a Dark Sectors mission, this particular node has a +20% Resource Drop Rate with the enemy type changed to Infested . Players will not encounter Corpus Nullifiers that hinder resource farming Abilities such as Hydroid's Pilfering Swarm, Nekros' Desecrate, and Khora's Pilfering Strangledome.
Hexenon can be farmed from Amalgam enemies (~7.7% drop chance), which continuously spawn during Disruption missions and from enemy in defence mission io
The easiest way to get Hexenon (At least in small amounts) is also the most passive: Extractors. Using a Titan Extractor, you have a roughly 38% chance to get around 60-80 Hexenon, since it is in fact a common resource. This can be done every 4 hours.

TriviaEdit

The name "hexenon" may be derived from a combination of xenon and the chemical symbol for helium (He), both noble gases, fitting for a resource introduced alongside the Corpus Gas City redesign.
- However, Hexenon is described as highly combustible, and both these gases are inert.
It might be based off 2-hexanone, a neurotoxic ketone of hexane, which can appear as a bright yellow liquid.
