While not providing any stats by itself, this ring provides significant stat boosts when worn with other Alien gear, reaching its full potential with an Alien Weapon and a Protection Matrix. Its effect is unpredictable, but can still help a lot if it triggers.

The Dark Matter Core in particular is geared towards survivability, providing a significant HP bonus and a colossal amount of DEF at full power. It’s highly effective on classes that can sacrifice DPS for survivability, which makes it ideal on melees since they’re usually the ones in the thick of battle. The radial Armor Break can also be used to its full potential if the user is constantly close to enemies.

In addition to being dropped, this can also be obtained by trading in 75 Untaris Fragments and 25 Metal Scrap at the Tinkerer.
