How do enemy parts become your upgrades?
Prepare a loadout in the hangar, then break parts from elites and bosses and equip their drops during ten-minute waves. The pickup key is not established here.
What are the eight equipment slots?
Use head, core, two arms, two shoulders, legs and backpack slots. Part tiers are Common, Rare and Epic; this is not a complete catalogue.
Why can an equipped part disappear?
Equipped parts have individual durability. A broken part is lost, so protect or replace it. Exact values and a recovery procedure are not supplied.
How do Run 2 and NIGHTMARE unlock?
Clear Run 1 to unlock Run 2, then clear Run 2 to unlock NIGHTMARE. Five planets and two endings are advertised; ending-choice conditions are not covered.
Is there a free Demo, and what does the launch discount cost?
