Crafting Materials & Locations

Find all essential crafting materials across Neo-Kyoto in REMATCH (2025). Learn locations for components to upgrade weapons and craft cybernetic enhancements. .

Mastering the art of crafting in REMATCH (2025) is crucial for survival and progression. You'll need to scavenge for several materials scattered across Neo-Kyoto's diverse districts. Understanding where to find specific components will significantly streamline your ability to upgrade weapons, craft essential consumables, and even create unique cybernetic enhancements.

Common Materials: These are the most frequently encountered items. Look for them in discarded containers, broken machinery, and on defeated low-level enemies.

• Scrap Metal: Found in abundance in Sector 7's industrial zones and the abandoned transit tunnels. Essential for basic weapon repairs and early-game mods.
• Polymer Resin: Often found in residential areas and abandoned labs. Used for crafting medkits and basic armor plating.
• Circuitry Fragments: Common in areas with defunct technology, such as the old data centers in the Downtown district. Vital for crafting electronic components and hacking tools.

Uncommon Materials: These require a bit more effort to acquire and are often found in more dangerous or specialized locations.

• Reinforced Alloys: Typically found in the heavily guarded corporate sectors like the 'OmniCorp Tower' perimeter or in the ruins of the 'Old City'. Necessary for high-tier weapon upgrades.
• Bio-Gel: Harvested from specific mutated flora in the contaminated zones of the 'Outskirts' or from certain biological enemy types. Used for advanced healing items and specialized cybernetics.
• Energy Cells: Often dropped by security drones and robotic enemies in the 'Industrial Hub' or found in hidden caches within the 'Underbelly'. Crucial for crafting powerful energy-based weapon mods.

Rare Materials: These are scarce and often guarded by formidable foes or found in hidden, high-risk areas.

• Quantum Processors: Extremely rare, these can sometimes be found in the heavily secured 'Research Labs' within OmniCorp Tower or as rare drops from elite Syndicate bosses. Essential for crafting legendary weapon mods and advanced cyberware.
• Exotic Catalysts: These are often found in the deepest, most dangerous parts of the 'Contaminated Zones' or as rewards for completing challenging side missions. Used for unique, high-impact crafting recipes.

Locations to Prioritize:

• Sector 7 Slums: Excellent for common materials, especially Scrap Metal and Polymer Resin.
• Downtown District: Good source of Circuitry Fragments and some Uncommon materials from defeated enemies.
• Industrial Hub: Rich in Scrap Metal, Reinforced Alloys, and Energy Cells. Be wary of automated defenses.
• Contaminated Zones (Outskirts): High risk, high reward. Bio-Gel and Exotic Catalysts can be found here, but environmental hazards and mutated creatures are prevalent.
• OmniCorp Tower (and surrounding areas): The ultimate source for Rare materials like Quantum Processors, but heavily guarded by elite Syndicate forces.
