How to Unlock Area Patrol

Complete Belobog's Story Commision Part 2 and Talk to Roland

Roland
You can unlock Area Patrol once you finish the second part of the Belobog's Story Commission, Speed Chaser and Trace to the Source.

You can only unlock these two commissions after getting to Inter-Knot Level 26

Wait for Roland's message the next day regarding the Routine Cleanup after completing the commissions. Talk to him at Scott Outpost to unlock Area Patrol after getting the message!

What is Area Patrol?

Routine Cleanup to Farm Drive Discs

ZZZ - Routine Cleanup

Area Patrol is an easy to set up feature for farming specific types of Drive Discs. Proxies simply need to choose the enemies that drop these specific Drive Discs and win battles in their VR Devices.

This mode was previously called Routine Cleanup.

All Drive Discs and Guides

Additional Source of Plating Agents

ZZZ - Get Drive Discs From Bardic Needle with Plating Agents

Instead of going to Bardic Needle Music Store, Area Patrol offers a way to grind out materials in the expense of Energy.

However, take note that unlike Area Patrol, the Bardic Needle is not locked behind random drops.

List of All Shops

Higher Difficulty Means More Rewards!

The Area Patrol challenges start at level 30 with a 10 level gap for each challenge and stops at level 60.

Proxies get rewarded with more resources for clearing higher difficulty challenges, so make sure to prepare before taking them on to have an easier time clearing them!

Also know that completing the third rank up commission also lets you get S-Rank Rarity Drive Discs!
