Scarabs are a type of map fragment. They do not open portals to new areas, but are instead used to augment non-unique maps with various effects.

Scarabs are primarily found within the Safehouses of the Immortal Syndicate in the Intervention department. The quality of Scarabs depends on the rank of the member (guaranteed Rusted/Polished/Gilded Scarab at Rank 1/2/3). They also drop from the Syndicate Mastermind and occasionally from a Syndicate member as a Bargain option. Rusted Scarabs are part of the core drop pool and can drop from anywhere.

Winged Scarabs can be obtained in the Mastermind's Lair from an Intervention member who was at Rank 3.

Vendor recipe

Players can use the vendor recipe system to swap undesirable scarabs for a potentially more desirable one.

  • Vendoring 3 Scarabs of the same tier and type will result in a Scarab of the same type of the higher tier, up to Gilded (ex. 3x Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Rusted Torment Scarab" -> 1x Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Polished Torment Scarab")
  • Vendoring 2 Scarabs of the same tier and type with 1 Orb of Horizons will result in a random type Scarab of the same tier.

Ruthless mode

In Ruthless mode, Scarabs only enable the mechanic and higher tiers do not add additional rewards. The tier of the Scarab determines which map tiers it can be used. Rusted Scarabs can be used in map tiers 1-5 (white), Polished in tiers 6-10 (yellow), and Gilded in tiers 11+ (red). Winged Scarabs cannot be found in Ruthless mode.
