Last Updated on September 30, 2026
The short answer
Nano Spores drop on Deimos, Saturn, Neptune and Eris. The best run is Zabala (Eris), a Dark Sector Survival with a +30% resource drop bonus, with Nekros. Terrorem (Deimos) is the easier Survival for newer players.

Every place it drops
Nano Spores drops on: Deimos, Saturn, Neptune, Eris.
The fast route
- Turn on a Resource Booster if you own one.
- Load Zabala (Eris) 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 Zabala is too hard, run Terrorem (Deimos) instead.
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.
- The game ranks Nano Spores Common on Deimos, Saturn and Eris, and Uncommon on Neptune.
- Dark Sector nodes spawn Infested enemies, so no Nullifier bubbles cancel Desecrate.
- Boosters change what you pick up in the mission. They do not change mission or cache rewards.
Mistakes that waste runs
- Farming Nano Spores on Mars, Uranus or other planets that do not have it in the pool.
- Expecting a Resource Booster to double an end-of-mission cache. It only doubles pickups.
- Leaving Survival after one rotation. The run pays over time.
