Core Augments


 * This page is about the equippable armor pieces. For the regular item pickups, see Augments.

Core Augments are items found within 30XX which require Core Points to equip. Unlike the prequel, Primary Weapons are also considered Core Augments. Core Augments can be picked up directly with the (Activate Thing) button, salvaged into an alternative upgrade with the (Power 1) button, or rerolled into a different augment with the (Power 2) button. All Core Augments come in sets of four pieces, and a set bonus is activated whenever all four pieces of a set are currently equipped.

Core Augments are acquired most frequently from Glory Zones, but may also rarely appear within Shops or after beating Minibosses. Primary Weapons are acquired exclusively from Contemplation Shrines.

The Armatort set is a tanky, defense-focused Core set; its set bonus is Hazardshield, which provides complete immunity to damage from spikes, lava, and other stage hazards such as Deepverse's Boltpairs and Wall Lasers.

The Dracopent set is a high-damage set which focuses on getting the most out of your Primary Weapons. Its set bonus, Hypercharge, has all uncharged shots fire as half-charged shots instead. If the player has the Resonant Buster, ??? (to check: does Hypercharge with Resonant Buster have all shots fire as fully charged shots?)

The Owlhawk set is focused on Power usage and resource conservation. Its set bonus, Everfont, reduces the cost of all Powers and Techniques by 1 energy.

The Oxjack set is a speed-focused set that specializes in mobility, enhancing the player's dashes in new ways. Its set bonus, Ultimate Airdash, gives the player three airdashes at a time, or four if the player has the Resonant Boots.

The Vagrant set is a high-risk, high-reward set that introduces the Corruption passive effect when equipping any pieces from this set. Corruption builds by landing hits with your Primary Weapons; as Corruption builds, the player's damage and movement speed are increased, but if too much is built up then the player will be stunned for a moment and take damage (or heal if equipped with Vagrant's Yearn). Its set bonus sets the minimum Corruption level to 20%, thus ensuring that the player will always have Corruption active.

The Zookeeper set is a Repro-themed core set that enhances your Repros in new ways. Its set bonus greatly enhances the abilities of all Repros in various ways.

Resonant Armor
While Resonant Armor pieces are not Core Augments themselves, they interact with them in unique ways.
