Ancient energy cell from the Orokin era.
—In-Game Description

An Orokin Cell is a rare component that can be found on Saturn, Ceres and Deimos. It is usually found in quantities of 1-2. 

All bosses (including the Stalker) have a chance to drop an Orokin Cell after being defeated, though General Sargas Ruk and Lieutenant Lech Kril have a better chance to drop it, the latter of which are the respective bosses of the planets.

Gathering Tips[]

These are based on opinions and may not be true. These should be viewed as advice unless proven undoubtedly true. Check comments for confirmation. Results may vary.

  • Assassination and Invasion missions on a planet where Orokin Cells drop is a very quick way to get a lot of Orokin Cells. With good gear and/or good teammates, a fast moving squad can do a single run within 2 minutes.
    • Lephantis on Magnacidium, Deimos has a chance of dropping up to 4 Orokin Cells in a single run. This is because Lephantis' loot table is rolled for each of its heads when they die during the first phase of the bossfight, and once more when Lephantis is finally defeated in the second phase of the fight.
  • Making Helene, Saturn your go-to leveling spot (instead of Hydron, for instance) will passively keep your cell stock up.
  • Piscinas on Saturn, a Dark Sector survival mission, yields Plastids as well as Orokin Cell in addition to offering XP bonuses. Expect 5 - 10 per 20-25 min run.
  • Exta, Ceres also has a fairly good chance of dropping Orokin Cells since it is a combination of bosses as well being on a planet with Orokin Cells on it.
  • On Telesto, Saturn, one can get Orokin Cells from Cell Arrays: There are usually one to two arrays found at this map, which can drop 1-3 Cells.
  • On Gabii, Ceres, you can get 4-7 Orokin Cells from opening containers or breaking Cell Arrays.
    • Otherwise, a 10 minutes run with a Desecrate130xWhite Desecrate NekrosIcon272 Nekros and a slash-based melee weapon such as the Atterax Atterax, will grant around 4-7 Orokin Cells.
  • Cassini, Saturn is one of the more popular missions to run to obtain a Kuva Lich because Capture missions tend to yield the shortest mission times on average. This means that players may encounter more Orokin Cell containers merely by grinding to obtain a Lich with a Kuva weapon they want.

Trivia[]

Patch Notes[]

Hotfix 32.2.4 (2022-12-07)

  • Fixed items such as Orokin Cells missing their light beacons.

Hotfix 25.8.1 (2019-10-09)

Hyena Change (Razorback mission only):

An Orokin Cell farming exploit was brought to our attention by not only players, but also our internal flagging system when such a method is tripped for misuse. In short, players were forcing the Hyena’s to spawn infinitely by entering/exiting rooms knowing that their Orokin Cell drop rate is 100%. As a result of this misuse, the Orokin Cell drop rate for the Hyena’s in the Razorback mission will diminish the more you spawn, to still allow for multiple drop attempts but without giving away the entire cake. Please note that players who are trade banned due to triggering this exploit will be manually unbanned after this Hotfix.

Hotfix 23.0.5 (2018-06-22)

  • Orokin Cells pickups will now appear in the pop-up notification similar to Argon Crystals.

Hotfix 22.20.7 (2018-05-30)

  • Replaced the Orokin Cell crafting requirement for numerous Decorations to either Morphics, Neurodes, or Control Modules.
    • The Orokin Cells will be refunded to the Clan Vault and already built Decorations that required an Orokin Cell will remain built.

Hotfix 22.0.2 (2017-10-13)

  • Replaced Gara's Blueprint requirement of Kuva with Orokin Cells.

Update 20.0 (2017-03-24)

  • Fixed untradable Blueprint resources appearing in the Trade window (Orokin Cells, etc).

Update 19.13 (2017-03-09)

  • Replaced Orokin Cell with Gallium, and replaced Neural Sensors with Morphics as a crafting requirement in the Rhino Blueprint.

Update 18.5 (2016-03-04)

  • Archwing Crafting requirements have been adjusted for players crafting the Odonata in The Archwing Quest:
    • Orokin Cell is now 3x Control Module.

Update 17.3 (2015-09-02)

  • Fixed Drekar Heavy Gunners dropping Orokin Cells.

Update 16.4 (2015-04-23)

  • The Raptor will now drop Neural Sensors instead of Orokin Cells.

Update 15.13 (2015-02-05)

  • Added a 3x Orokin Cells to T3 Survival Rewards.

Update 13.8 (2014-06-19)

  • Increased the number of Orokin Cells received as T3 Survival awards from 1 to 3 per batch.

Hotfix 11.3.3 (2013-12-13)
