02What it meansOriginal PoExplorer explanation

Add two Unstable Breach encounters.

Used in the personal Map Device, the Scarab makes the area contain two additional Unstable Breaches. It guarantees the encounter count stated by the item, while encounter execution and rewards still happen inside the map.

03Practical useDecision context

Prepare for two timed encounters rather than two guaranteed payouts.

Select a layout with room to follow Breaches and use a build capable of clearing quickly. Pair it with an Atlas strategy that benefits from Breach content and price the extra map time.

Before you use one

Poor layouts and insufficient clear speed can waste encounter time. The Scarab is consumed on map activation.

04Market contextTime-sensitive

Breach strategies support demand for added encounters.

The market reflects current interest in Unstable Breaches. Two encounters do not guarantee specific splinters, bosses, or valuable drops.
