The survivors you can deploy. The Kernel Knight can wield everything the Nova Runner can — every shared weapon and ability — plus his own signature kit; the Nova Runner cannot use the Knight's exclusives.

Alphas hunt in packs of five — a leader and four hunters that hold formation, warping any straggler back after 5s. Each pack rolls elite protocols (1 at Warmup up to 4 at Blackout). Wipe the whole pack for the payout; the leader drops upgrade chips at double rate.

Your full arsenal. Every weapon can reach an ULTIMATE form at max level; install abilities to amplify the build.

Build-defining combos — pair these weapons and abilities for results greater than the sum of their parts. More synergies are added over time.

Every permanent drop on the network and where to farm it. Normal Run bosses forge loot cases and alphas shed upgrade chips; the Data Vault guards trinkets, vault chips, Tier 1–7 Vault Cases and unique relics behind alpha camps — and vault loot only counts if you extract (the void lets a maximum of 4 items through). Vault entry costs a Void Key fragment, earned by clearing that difficulty's Normal Run boss during Core Overclock and surviving the overtime.
