Keep in mind that the Level 100 Wasteland Corrupters sometimes drop 2 of the Corupted codes, so it would be best if you kill one once you get 340 decay codes and trade them for the insecticides.

Thats at least 24 hours farming time for those decaying codes
Also. It dropping 2, is a rare thing.

tbh i dont think its so rare, me and a faction mate farmed 2 headgears and on each one we got a 2 corrupted code drop.

I got a double drop twice on my headgear. Fantastic news because it took me about 2 months to collect the codes just for those. Its a long and tedious grind that I just cant stand

Still say this quest needs rebalancing, i'm pretty everyone agrees the insane farming grind is not worth the reward.
I've avoided even attempting to get the headgear for the very reason of the long grind.

I started doing this the easy way with the aim of getting myself a headgear but then I ended up farming a pile of bandanas for other people. I could have had a headgear by now but I'm getting close to a billion info instead and for someone who joined after the buy-back that's pretty good going. So I wouldn't say it isn't viable to farm these things, only that you could make as much with a lot less hassle just by working in Datamine in your spare time. So yeah, overall I have to agree that the grind for the headgear is too long and painful but the bandana and hat are just fine.

yeah im working on mine its long i got the archives in about a week now im working on sprays gonna kill one tonight to see if im lucky enough to get 2 corupted codes probally should have done it sooner but ive been sucked in mgs 4
you guys talk about the long grind like its actually long lol... it aint at all it just takes dedication and abit of time to do it, me and a faction mate farmed one in 2 days and we were going easy... id say about 6 hours both days in total, thats having 2 spawns everytime with 2 low levels.
when we finished with in the 2nd day i had a tell saying we must be chinese farmers lol.. made me laugh 
but yh dont take long if you got abit of time and not so lazy 
oh and i also was wanting to buy one for months and no one wanted to farm and sell or sell theres so we just did our own.

Of course if you multiply the people involved it's going to be shorter but not everyone can/likes to work with others and not everyone has extra accounts either. Try doing it as a solo 50 and see how long it takes you. (I'm not saying that's how I do it, but that's the only option available to some people.)

Well there is such thing as a "Trial Account" inwhich you can have for like 14 days or something like that and use it to farm by duel clienting, so it is a option available to all =] but you will find most people are just lazy.

Or find the end product of the grind just isn't worth it. Or have other things to do. Or just don't have the time.
Plus, for me I just don't want to do the same thing over and over and over and over and over again just for the headgear. A grind is a grind, but this just takes the ***

Yes, but the insectide is tradeable, which is 1700 of the 2100 decaying codes you need.
But I do agree, the grind for this item is just ridiculous.
