There's a vast array of active and passive items you can find and use in your mission to take down the Heart of Armageddon, and you're going to need every single one in order to survive. You start with three class specific items (one set core item and two selectable class items) and can carry up to eight total. Items can be upgraded via Power Tokens gained from the Supply Hack Research, and via Upgrade Stations. Any item on hand can be recycled by dragging them to the red recycling item at the right side of the Item bar. This returns credits (based on rarity and quality) and can confer secret bonuses marked with "R:" under the item's description (revealed by unlocking the Recycling Info Research). Items can also be dropped to the ground, this is achieved by dragging an item off of the hotbar without recycling it. Items that are on cooldown cannot be dropped until they are ready to be used again.


Item Quality

The aspects of an item that are affected by its quality level are highlighted in orange beneath its description in-game.

Items come in several different quality levels and corresponding power levels by default:

  • Damaged: 75% Power
  • Standard: 100% Power
  • Superior: 125% Power
  • Ultra: 150% Power
  • Cursed: 150% Power, Faster Cooldown
  • Divine: 250% Power (1% chance * luck)
  • '''????''': 350% Power (0.1% chance * luck)
  • Revised: 100% Power, 25% Faster Cooldown. Replaces Damaged quality items when playing as an Engineer at Prestige 1 or higher.
