Nova Drift – I Get By With A Little Help From My Friends Achievement Guide

A guide to the Achievement: I Get By With A Little Help From My Friends. Including Game Modes and Upgrade Trees.

TL/DR

Сrеdit gоеs to rramia !

This achievment can only be obtain after achieving Rank 59 and unlocking the Ataraxia mod

To obtain the achievement you will need to raise your Ally Limit to 4.

Ally Mod: Enables Allies

Overseer Mod- from Elegant Construct Mod Tree: +1 advanced construct

Engineer Body: +1 advanced construct:

  • Ataraxia Mod + 5 unspent Points: +30% body gear powers
  • Bravado Mod: +15% body gear powers
  • Evolutionary Niche Wild Mod: 10% body gear powers (you will need 6 of this recursive mod)

The build I made for this achievment:

Game Modes

The required Game Mode for this Achievement is: Wild Metamorphosiss, as it enables some of the Required Mods. Make sure This Mode is enabled.

The fastest way of creating the build is starting a Draft Mode game. In draft mode you will start out with 35 Upgrade points and 9 Re-rolls, and if you are lucky you can create the entire build within these Points.

Gear

The only relevant gear choice is the Engineer Body.

The body Gear Power:

  • +2 limit to basic and standard constructs
  • +1 limit to advanced constructs
  • +2% construct assembly speed for each unassembled standard and advanced construct
  • -10% maximum shields

If you are playing in Draft, I recommend skipping the Weapon upgrade altogether, and maybe even the shield. This can be done by pressing the “Esc” during Weapon and Shield selection. This will give you 2 extra upgrade points to use in the Building Tree.

Mods

Mod Trees

Ally Mod – creates 1 Ally – this is the Friend you were looking for.

Elegant Construction Mod > Self Destruction OR Shielded Constructs > Overseer for +1 limit to advanced constructs

With Engineer Body, Ally and Overseer you will have reached a 3 Ally Construct limit.

Engineer Body gear power at 100% gives you +1 advanced constructs, so through wild mods you are aiming to reach 200% body gear power, and therefore +2 advanced constructs, for a total of 4.

Wild Mods And Super Mods

Required – these mods will directly raise the Body gear Power

The Ataraxia Mod with 5 Unspent Upgrade Points

  • While you have 5 or more unspent upgrade points, +30% body gear powers

Bravado Mod – Your body gear powers are improved by 15%

Evolutionary Niche Mod – Recursive – Your body gear powers are improved by 10%

Optional – use these mods to search for Bravado and to obtain multiple Evolutionary Niche Copies

Revelation Mod – The next recursive Wild Mod you choose is gained an additional two times – Use this on Evolutionary Niche

Obsession Mod – Recursive mods are gained an additional time – use this to obtain Evolutionary Niche twice every time it appears

Chaotic Ambition Mod – You will find more Rare wild Mods

Winnow Mod – You can Banish some mods you don’t need and get more Rerolls

  1. You don’t *need* ataraxia for this, but it’s a bit more convenient than trying to reroll for more niches.
