Modifiers are special attributes that can randomly generate on Gear items, making them more powerful or giving them utility.
Associated with myoepithelial cells- specialized cells that contract when stimulated by teh nervous system, contractions forces sweat into and through the glands duct system to. Skills need to be equipped in the character sheets to be usable in combat, where up to four (unlocked at Level 10, 15 and 25) can be equipped at a time. As of the+1 Edition update, Skill Points have been removed, unlocking all skills from the start. Values of skills are based on the character's base attributes, level, and weapon upgrades. To provide a reference, values written on this page are.
Modifier Generation Mechanics[edit | edit source]
Not all modifiers can generate on all items. Several properties possessed by these modifiers restrict what items can generate with them:
- Item Class Restriction (Item Class): If assigned, has a value of either 0, 1, 2, or 3.
- 0: Modifier can only appear on Weapons
- 1: Modifier can only appear on Skills
- 2: Modifier can only appear on Weapons and Skills
- 3: Modifier can only appear on Amulets
- Required Tags: A given modifier can only appear on items with all of the required tags.
- Forbidden Tags: A given modifier can only appear on items with none of the forbidden tags.
- Forbidden Modifiers: A given modifier can only appear on items which have not already generated with any of the forbidden modifiers.
- Forbidden Items: A given modifier cannot appear on forbidden items.
These restrictions do not apply to the guaranteed modifiers of Legendary Items, which are generated after all other modifiers. As a result, Legendary items often have combinations of modifiers which are unobtainable on other kinds of items.
Stat-Boosting Modifiers[edit | edit source]
Stat-boosting modifiers are the only modifiers which can be applied multiple times to the same item. Only present on Amulets as well as on '++' and 'S' Weapons and Skills, they grant Stats to the player while these items are equipped. The effects bestowed by these stats are listed just underneath the white text in the item's tooltip.
| Name | Effect | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Brutality Up | +1 Brutality | |
| Tactics Up | +1 Tactics | |
| Survival Up | +1 Survival |
Note: A given item can only generate with stat-boosting modifiers corresponding to that item's base scaling stats (e.g. most Shields cannot generate with Brutality Up because their damage only scales with Survival).
Minor Modifiers[edit | edit source]
Minor modifiers are written in green text. The number of minor modifiers on an item is limited only by the modifier cap imposed by its gear level.
