Neural Sensors are a rare component that can be found primarily on Jupiter and the Kuva Fortress. It is usually found in quantities of 1-4.
Alad V has a higher chance of dropping Neural Sensors compared to enemies, containers, and lockers. As of Update 16.4 (2015-04-23) The Raptors also have a chance of dropping Neural Sensors, but this does not apply to the rest of Europa.

Blueprints Requiring Neural Sensors[]
Notes[]
- After Update 9.0 (2013-07-13), all rare items dropped much more commonly than normal, up to quantities of 6 per drop in some cases. The drop rates were fixed in Hotfix 9.1.3 (2013-07-15).
- From Hotfix 9.8.2 (2013-09-03) until Hotfix 9.8.3 (2013-09-07), J3-Golem had a higher Neural Sensors drop rate than usual. Update 9.8.3 fixed this drop rate.
Gathering Tips[]
These are based on opinions and may not be true. These should be viewed as advice unless proven undoubtedly true. Check comments for confirmation. Results may vary.
- Elara and Sinai, Jupiter are effective locations to gather Neural Sensors. Another place that is effective to farm is Themisto, Jupiter (assassination of Alad V).
- Taveuni in the Kuva Fortress is also an effective place to farm them. Plus, if you need Kuva you can farm for Neural Sensors and Kuva at the same time.
- Distilling Extractors are also a good way to farm these with little effort, though it should be noted that Neural Sensors are not guaranteed.
- Io, Jupiter can net a few Neural Sensors with a Nekros using Desecrate, but it isn't effective.
Trivia[]
- The descriptions of Neural Sensors and Neurodes were swapped several times, with the second time completely reversing what the components clearly were. This was finally reverted in Hotfix 15.16.2 (2015-03-11) to properly fit their obvious designs.
- Despite being of Grineer origin, Neural Sensors ironically did not drop from any Grineer-controlled planet (barring those taken over via Invasions) until the introduction of the Kuva Fortress in Update 19.0 (2016-11-11).
- Prior to the removal of Trials, Neurodes could be crafted via a reusable blueprint that could be acquired as a reward from The Law of Retribution Nightmare Raid.
