New equipment mechanics, artifact interaction systems, and item upgrade improvements.
 
Attention! The video does not reflect the final version of the content. All features may be changed before the final version.
 

Artifact Belt

 
The old “artifact slot” system has been replaced with a belt that allows you to equip artifacts as well as various devices and tools.
This opens up many more build options and gameplay possibilities: you will be able to carry more than one device and combine several types of artifacts at the same time.
 

Artifact Container

 
A new container mechanic has been implemented, changing how artifacts interact with the player:
 
• An artifact stored in a container does not drop when the character dies.
• It does not emit radiation.
• It does not provide any buffs or debuffs while inside the container.
 
The container operates on a special resource called “Copper Solution.”
Each time you place an artifact into the container, a certain amount of Copper Solution is consumed.
 

Item Upgrades

A new item upgrade system has also been introduced. Items can be upgraded using specific resources, with a defined chance of success.
The success chance can be increased using catalysts. After a successful upgrade, the item gains new characteristics.
 
We will continue to regularly share development updates for Anomaly Zone: Renovation.
