Starfield Shattered Space

How to Get Vortex Cysts

Vortex Cysts are materials used to craft Vortex Grenades in Starfield Shattered Space. Read on to learn Vortex Cyst locations, how to get Vortex Cysts, best places to farm them, and their item IDs.

Vortex Cyst Locations

Defeat Vortex Enemies

Vortex Phantoms and Vortex Horrors are enemy types that glow a bright blue aura and have a chance to drop Vortex Cysts when defeated. Phantoms are the humanoid enemies, while Horrors are more monster-like in appearance.

When fighting these types of enemies, make sure to loot their bodies to obtain Vortex Cysts, among other Vortex materials used to craft Vortex Grenades.

Reload Save to Get the Loot You Need

Vortex Cysts are random drops from Vortex enemies, so if you are unable to obtain this material from an enemy, simply reload a previous save file and defeat the enemies again until you get the Vortex Cysts you need.
