Integrated Equipment

Integrated Equipment

There are two types of upgradable equipment that are actually integrated into your suits. It is important to upgrade these since you carry them throughout the game no matter which suit you are wearing.

RIG

The RIG not only shows your health through the meter on your back, but it can also enhance whichever suit you are currently wearing. Start upgrading the RIG before you concentrate on weapons. Focus on hit points first. These increase the amount of damage you can sustain. Next, work on upgrading the damage.

This attribute actually increases the amount of damage your weapon inflicts on the enemy. Finally, go ahead and upgrade the air. This increases the amount of time you can operate in a vacuum before running out of oxygen.

Stasis Module

The stasis module is the single most important piece of equipment you have. While weapons kill Necromorphs, you will need stasis to slow them down, giving you a chance to use your weapons. At the start, you have only two shots of stasis, so focus on upgrading the charges. Once you have power nodes in both of these slots, you increase your stasis module so it can store a total of four shots. As you follow the path to the charges, upgrade duration as well so that each shot of stasis will last longer and be more effective. Finally, upgrade the energy so your stasis module will recharge faster on its own.
