What is the best way to get each type of probe? - Positive couple walking on road

So I know there are 7 types of probes: Mining, Research, Battle, Storage, Booster, Duplicator.

What I've found so far is that Mining probes are best gotten from quests (primarily, these seem to be my rewards) and salavging Mech field items, and that you can unlock Battle probes by doing a quest at or around chapter 9 completion (via a sidequest in the hangar). Occasionally I'll also get a Research probe from salavging Mech field items as well.

I've seen that people suggest doing quests to get probes, however every time I check the quest board I don't think I've ever seen a probe as a reward. Kirsty and story quests are the only reliable source of probes that I've found so far, but by and large those appear to be Mining probes.

Is there a "best" way to get each type of probe, and if so, what is it?



Best Answer

Mechanical spots seem to give a lot more mining probes than research. I am also wondering how to obtain more research probes.

I don't remember seeing any as random mission rewards, although I did get a few from affinity and main story missions.

Currently I have mining probes coming out of my ears xD (25+ unused and I mine more than my storage can support xD). Very few research and storage though (100k ish revenue from research, 21k storage).

What are 3 types of probes?

Linear (also sometimes called vascular) probes are generally high frequency, better for imaging superficial structures and vessels, and are also often called a vascular probe.

What is a convex probe used for?

The 2D imaging convex probe has a central frequency of 2.5MHz to 7.5MHz and a wide footprint. It can be used for diagnosis, examination, and other ultrasound-guided procedures, such as abdominal exams.

Which probe is best suited for cardiac imaging?

Cardiac ultrasound should be performed with a low-frequency probe that has a small footprint that can fit between the ribs (phased array is ideal), using a cardiac setting.
