Augmentations | The Ascent Official Wiki

Augmentations in The Ascent are active abilities that can be purchased from Vendors. In The Ascent, by default, players can equip two Augmentations and two Modules, and having these cyberware items allows you to have extra bonuses and combat mechanics such as the ability to throw out a Hydraulic Slam, an effect that automatically collects loot for you, or improves the accuracy of locking onto a target.

Augmentations also affect the character's appearance, causing them to look increasingly cybernetic as their Attributes are raised. Increasing the Attribute attached to the Augmentation in Slot 1 affects the character's face, while increasing the Attribute attached to the Augmentation in Slot 2 affects the character's arms and body. Changes develop gradually as the Attributes are increased (up to a maximum of 40) and are updated when switching Augmentations or removed upon resetting Skills. Attributes currently affecting the character's appearance are indicated by a circuitry effect around their value on the Character tab.

Augmentations can be obtained as rewards, loot, and are pruchased from merchants. This page will indicate a list of all the Augmentations and Modules in The Ascent, which will also include its description and values. You can find detailed information on its location and properties on each individual page linked below.
