Chipsets

Your TranStar uniform and Psychoscope can be upgraded with chipsets that provide various benefits, boosts, and protections. Once acquired, install these upgrades via the Suit Chipset and Scope Chipset pages within your TranScribe’s Inventory tab. By default, your uniform and Psychoscope only have two slots each for chipsets. But new slots can be unlocked by investing in the Suit Modification and Psychotronics abilities, allowing you to benefit from an array of installed chipsets. Installing chipsets isn’t permanent. In fact, it’s a good idea to swap out chipsets on a regular basis, tailoring boosts and benefits to fit your current situation. For example, if confronted by a Thermal Phantom, equip the Thermal Shielding (*) 19.4GHz chipset to reduce the amount of damage you take from fire-based attacks. So each time you face a tough challenge, sort through your chipsets and install those that give you an advantage.

Apply the Suit Modification and Psychotronics abilities to increase the number of chipset slots available in your suit and Psychoscope.
