UPGRADES[edit]
MORE TO A PAYDAY THAN CREDITS:
FACTIONS identify those RUNNERS who best fit their agendas and offer them ways to improve their value in the form of UPGRADES.
These UPGRADES can improve shell operations or open a wider assortment of goods in the ARMORY. It is up to a given RUNNER to select the UPGRADES that best augment their run style.
RUNNERS who continue to work for FACTIONS earn deeper access to more UPGRADES, which can be purchased for some combination of CREDITS and MATERIALS. The deeper a RUNNER'S connection with a FACTION, the better the UPGRADES they will have available to them.
Over time, a RUNNER can maximize their SHELL and their arsenal, giving them great odds at survival when risking another run on TAU CETI IV.
SHELL UPGRADES:
As a piece of advanced technology, a RUNNER's SHELL offers the opportunity to improve the run experience via SHELL system UPGRADES. These software enhancements allow a RUNNER to customize their functionality to fit their skills/interests or simply to increase baseline SHELL operations.
*Improve HEAT regulation
*Increase Ability charge rates
*Up movement, agility, handling
*Enhance every aspect of SHELL function
SHELL UPGRADES offer an evolution across numerous systems.
ARMORY UPGRADES:
Open up the ARMORY's inventory to purchase more and higher-tier weapons, equipment, and support gear. RUNNERS who UPGRADE their ARMORY can build an unmatched arsenal to stock up for their next push to the MARATHON, or restock after unavoidable complications. New weaponry. Improved protections. A deeper roster of dangerous toys. The ARMORY provides… at a price.
REMARK:
Evolve or die.
