Compendium
Gear and chrome
Everything you can wear, wield or install, with the game's own inventory icons. Numbers are read from the current build.
The loot ladder
Every item has a rarity. Higher rarities roll more bonus lines and say where the gear came from. On the ground each rarity also has its own glyph and light beam, so you never have to tell them apart by colour alone.
Scrap
Stripped and taped. No bonus lines. Salvages into Scrap Copper.
Tuned
Street-modded. 1 bonus line. Salvages into Scrap Copper.
Warden-Issue
Pulled off the occupation. 2 bonus lines. Salvages into Scrap Copper and Warden Polymer.
Core-Grade
Overseer-class silicon, fenced on the black market. 3 bonus lines. Salvages into Warden Polymer and Core Silicon.
Prototype
Kindred lab hardware. 3 bonus lines. Salvages into Core Silicon and Kindred Lattice.
Signed
Carries a Signatory's authorisation. 4 bonus lines. Salvages into Kindred Lattice and Zero-Day Fragment.
Zero-Day
A one-of-a-kind unpatched exploit. Fixed powers, made by hand. Salvages into Kindred Lattice and Zero-Day Fragment.
Series pieces are Prototypes that belong to a set (4 sets so far): wear more pieces of one set for bigger bonuses.

Chrome and Sync
All chrome needs firmware, and all firmware eventually tries to talk to the Commons. Sync is your headroom: how much dumb chrome your own brain can drive before the hardware starts accepting the mesh's handshakes. Your maximum is 6 + your CON modifier + 2 per tier of the Clinic.
Hawkeye Optics
Optics · 1 Sync · Tuned
Elites show through walls within 8 tiles; +5% crit vs marked foes.
Subdermal Weave
Skin · 1 Sync · Tuned
+1 Armour and saves.
Flinch Spine
Spine · 2 Sync · Warden-Issue
Your first dodge after taking a hit has no cooldown.
Silverback Arms
Arms · 2 Sync · Core-Grade
Strength becomes 19; heavy weapons swing 10% faster.
Twin Pump Heart
Core · 3 Sync · Prototype
Auto-stabilise; double healing from rests.
Local Copy
Core · 3 Sync · Zero-Day
GLITCH compiled locally, wedged in your chest. +1 attunement slot and +25% skill damage. Once per breach it speaks to you by name.
Go over your Sync budget and you start to Drift into step with the crowd:
- In Step. Your walk falls into step with the crowd.
- Jingle. You catch yourself humming GLITCH's jingle.
- Smoothed. Edges soften. The Nightly feels like home.
Salvage and grades
Break gear down into materials, from the bottom of the ladder to the top:
- Scrap Copper. Pulled out of Scrap and Tuned gear.
- Warden Polymer. Cut from Warden-Issue plates and grips.
- Core Silicon. Overseer-class dies, prised out of Core-Grade boards.
- Kindred Lattice. Lab lattice from a Prototype. Kindred wants it back.
- Zero-Day Fragment. A shard of an unpatched exploit. It still runs.
Gear also comes in grades that scale its numbers as you level:
- Mk I level 1+ · ×1
- Mk II level 6+ · ×1.25
- Mk III level 14+ · ×1.55
- Mk IV level 24+ · ×1.9
