Skills & Progression | |
Player progression uses a skill system divided into five trees: Physical, Social, Combat, Science, and Tech. Each skill has multiple ranks that are unlocked by spending skill points (earned by leveling up) and then completing in-game challenges related to that skill. Research projects at workbenches unlock new crafting recipes for weapon mods, suit/pack/helmet mods, outpost components, and chems/food. Powers, akin to space magic, are unlocked by finding and interacting with alien temples. |
Character enhancement revolves around acquiring superior equipment and unlocking new 'moves' or 'skills' through progression. Players pilot and customize modular 'Arsenal' mechs, salvaging parts from defeated enemies to upgrade every component. Out-of-mech pilot customization is also expanded with new skills and augmentations. |
