All weapons have upgradeable skill trees, so players can invest in their favorite weapons to suit their playstyle.
What is GRP?
The GRP, or "Gravity Restraint Projector" can be used to control objects in the game. Pull an enemy close for a melee blow. Knock an enemy across the room and shoot their legs. Pulling enemies towards you is critical as some enemies run and hide or can inflict damage from afar. Mastering melee combat, dodging, and using the GRP in tandem is the key to survival.
How do I know if the GRP is recharged?
Players must collect batteries to charge the GRP or wait for it to recharge after heavy use. The white bar on Jacob's neck indicates the amount of GRP power available. Simply keeping a GRP power cell in your inventory will cause it to recharge automatically when it runs out. Otherwise, the GRP will recharge slowly over time.
