Tian Wen
Tech Specialist
--Loading view countA brilliant but eccentric engineer who builds impossible things from salvaged ARC tech. Tian Wen's workshop is cluttered with half-finished projects and live energy cells. She trades processors, wiring, and rare ARC Components that can't be found anywhere else in the settlement.
Best Deals
Quantum Processor Mk.II
1200The core component for Tier III weapon electronics upgrades. Reduces reload time by 20% when installed. Tian Wen is the only vendor who stocks this reliably.
ARC Component Salvage Kit
600Contains 2x Refined ARC Core and 4x Energy Conduit. Required for crafting the ARC-themed weapon mods and certain late-game equipment.
Flux Wiring Bundle
35010x Flux Wiring spools. Essential for building automated defense turrets and the Recycler Station upgrade. High demand item that sells out daily.

Tips
1.Tian Wen occasionally (once per 48 in-game hours) offers a 'Prototypical Device' for 2500 credits — experimental gear not available elsewhere. Check her inventory every two days.
2.Bring Tian Wen 5x Corrupted ARC Shards to unlock her hidden inventory. She converts them into 2x Pure ARC Shards plus a bonus Quantum Processor at no additional cost.
3.Her side quest 'Neural Link Calibration' rewards an passive implant that highlights nearby ARC weak points. Complete it before tackling the Assembler boss fight.
4.Flux Wiring is used in large quantities for the Defense Turret blueprint. Buy 30+ at a time when you see them in stock to avoid multiple restocking trips.
5.Tian Wen accepts damaged tech as trade-in. A damaged ARC Drone Brain (scavenged from difficult content) reduces Quantum Processor cost by 400 credits.
