Loot and build progression

Collect powerful loot, level up your character, unlock skills, and make choices that shape your build and preferred way to play.

In-run weapon upgrades

Weapon stations found in the wasteland let you improve armor and weapons during a run, including damage, magazine size, and other stats.
