Gallium Farming in Warframe (2026): Uranus Survivals Pay Best
Run Assur on Uranus with Nekros; Ara on Mars is the quick start
Last Updated on September 30, 2026
The short answer
Gallium only drops on Mars and Uranus. The best place is Assur (Uranus), a Dark Sector Survival with a +25% resource drop bonus, run with Nekros and a Resource Booster. Ara (Mars) is the quick Capture for a fresh account.

Table of Contents
Every place it drops
Gallium drops on: Mars, Uranus.
The fast route
- Turn on a Resource Booster if you own one. It doubles pickups.
- Load Assur (Uranus) with Nekros and a companion that has a retriever mod.
- Kill on the move and cast Desecrate over the corpses.
- Break every container you pass. They roll the planet resource pool.
- Stay for several rotations, then extract.
- If Assur is too hard, drop to Ophelia (Uranus) or Wahiba (Mars).
Best farming frames
| Frame | Role | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Nekros | Survival farm | Desecrate rolls each corpse loot table again, and resources sit on that table. |
| Khora | Survival farm | Pilfering Strangledome gives enemies caught in Strangledome a chance to drop extra loot. |
| Hydroid | Survival farm | Pilfering Swarm adds extra loot from enemies killed inside Tentacle Swarm. |
Tips that save runs
- Steel Path missions add +100% resource drop chance on top of any Dark Sector bonus, so a Steel Path Assur pays more than the normal node.
- Dark Sector nodes spawn Infested enemies, so no Nullifier bubbles cancel Desecrate.
- A beast companion with Loyal Retriever or Resourceful Retriever gets a chance to double each resource pickup.
- Boosters change what you pick up in the mission. They do not change mission or bounty rewards.
Mistakes that waste runs
- Farming Gallium on other planets. Only Mars and Uranus have it in their resource pool.
- Leaving Survival after one rotation. The run pays over time.
- Using Ara for a big stack. A Capture ends fast, so it suits a quick top-up.
