It's important to pick these up because you can sell any piece of gear that drops. You can get things like weapons and weapon skins. Now, many times these crates are just that: boxes filled with loot. Among these markers will be a crate or treasure chest symbol and a line pointing to where you can find these caches. If you check your map, you'll notice a lot of different markers. But of course, there are plenty of other treasures to find in The Ascent, too, and are much less common than these indistinct crates. Keep an eye out for these crates tucked away virtually anywhere on the maps. Although these crates don't drop a great amount all the time, it all adds up. Remember, don't shoot them, but rather walk into the barrels and watch them shatter apart. They are inconspicuous and of a dull color, but if you walk right into them, they will break and more often than not you will gain currency. Throughout the map, there are dozens of unmarked crates throughout. It might just end up saving your life.You're going to need money in The Ascent to buy gear and augment your body later on, and thankfully you can start accruing currency right from the start. Most of these tips come from pretty early game tutorials, so they’re pretty easy to dismiss, but I strongly urge you to listen to what some of these tips are saying. Those are some of my top tutorial tips for beginners in The Ascent. So, you can either choose to spend some time learning the ins and outs of your armor, or just dump all of your skill points into your max health – you choose. Armor can also provide passive boosts to Attributes and Proficiencies. It’s also very important that you keep up with the quality of armor as you start encountering enemies of higher level (trust me, I know this from experience) A lower defense rating will be very punishing against stronger enemies. Make sure to equip the correct armor that is best suited for the type of incoming damage that you want protection from the most. Armor RatingĮvery piece of armor gives individual defense rating for each damage type. Furthermore, some of these abilities cannot be executed unless there’s a target acquired. Some abilities automatically target enemies in reach these abilities are signaled with a marker on the target itself. Augmentations deplete your energy on use, but energy will regenerate slowly over time, so you won’t have too long to wait before you can use your Augmentation abilities again. Speaking of augmentations….these give you massively boosted abilities that you can use around the world of Veles. You can find new augmentations in the world, from enemies or buy them from the Grafter. Doing it without the Grafter’s touch will deplete your Energy. Install augmentations via the Journal out in the field or by visiting the Grafter. They give you new abilities and work even better if they sync well with your skills and attributes. AugmentationsĪugmentations can be bought and found. Even if you sell all currently owned P1 Protectors, the game will remember your Mk. Weapon upgrades are persistent across all duplicates of that particular one. Visit a Gun Smith to upgrade any weapon currently owned to the next Mk.-level. Upgrading WeaponsĪll weapons in The Ascent can be upgraded if you have the required components. This is useful for those larger enemies that charge at you quickly, and will allow you to manage your area a bit more easily. AimingĪiming your weapon doesn’t exactly increase your accuracy in this game, but rather just allows you to shoot over small enemies and obstacles, and also allows you to inflict Stagger on enemies while lifting your gun. You can upgrade your cyberdeck and increase its capabilities by finding Cyberdeck Upgrades in the world. Doors and Chests can even be protected by more and more complicated ICE and as such, require even more powerful cyberdecks. You can find out what your cyberdeck can hack by reading the Journal’s Character screen, and most things that can be hacked in the world are indicated by the color yellow. Many objects in the world require a cyberdeck capable of hacking that particular type. You can hack everything within cyberdeck reach in The Ascent. This will make your life so much easier (and longer too!). I highly suggest upgrading your max health, grabbing a shotgun, and then just going to town on every enemy you see. Everything else comes after your health, because you will get absolutely torn up in the game. The very first thing that you’re going to want to do in The Ascent is upgrade your health! When you level up, you’ll earn a certain amount of skill points, and you’re going to want to dump all of that into upgrading your max health.
