Neural Sensors Farming in Warframe (2026): Alad V on Themisto and Jupiter Dark Sectors
Alad V on Themisto is the fastest Neural Sensors run
Last Updated on September 30, 2026
The short answer
Neural Sensors are Rare and drop on Jupiter and the Kuva Fortress. The fastest run is the Alad V Assassination on Themisto (Jupiter), short enough to repeat. For a longer session, run Cameria (Jupiter) Survival with Nekros or Khora.

Every place it drops
Neural Sensors drops on: Jupiter, Kuva Fortress.
The fast route
- Load Themisto (Jupiter) and kill Alad V. Repeat until you have the count.
- For a longer session, load Cameria (Jupiter) and pick Survival.
- Bring Nekros with Desecrate or Khora with Pilfering Strangledome, plus a Resource Booster.
- Extract once your count is met.
Best farming frames
| Frame | Role | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Nekros | Loot roller | Desecrate rerolls corpse drop tables on a long Survival. |
| Khora | Loot roller | Strangledome with Pilfering Strangledome adds extra loot from held enemies. |
| Hydroid | Loot roller | Tentacle Swarm with Pilfering Swarm gives held enemies a chance at extra drops. |
Tips that save runs
- Expect one or two Neural Sensors per drop. A Resource Booster raises that.
- Steel Path raises the drop rate on farm nodes.
- A companion with Resourceful Retriever occasionally doubles a pickup.
Mistakes that waste runs
- Farming on planets that do not drop them. Only Jupiter and the Kuva Fortress do.
- Farming Neural Sensors on Survival for hours when the Alad V run is short.
