Now Available: Augments!

Augments are powerful new items within DCUO that are replacing R&D mods. They perform a similar function to what R&D mods did previously in the game, but with a few key differences that make them a much more enjoyable player experience:

  • Instead of modding gear, you can now equip augments on your character via a brand new tab in the Inventory Menu titled “Augments.”
  • Augments can be ranked up similarly to Artifacts via Exobytes, Nth Metal and other items that grant XP in the “Fortify” menu.
  • Augments come in two varieties: Origin Augments (called Implants, Runes, or Metagenes -depending on your character type) and Adaptive Augments.
  • Origin Augments are very simple – they have no breakthroughs to hit and simply level up as you feed them items that grant XP.
  • Adaptive Augments are associated with a specific piece of Content (Augments related to Episode 32 being the only ones available at launch). Like Artifacts, these Augments have breakthroughs when ranking up and will grant you content-specific bonuses for the Content they are associated with in addition to the usual stat gains.


Augments: Transition

The transition to the new Augments system mentioned above has been implemented in a few different ways:

Mods

  • When you log into the game if you are past Level 25, you will find all Origin Augments now automatically available under your Augments tab in the Inventory menu.
  • You also now have an auto-completed mission in your Mission Journal called “Building a Power Base.” Completing this mission grants you Augment XP in the form of Golden Exobytes that can be fed to your Augments. The Exobytes you receive are based off your character’s CR when you complete the mission.

Crafting

  • We have removed the ability to craft gear mods or generator mods, but have left enhanced styles and consumables.
  • Old items such as old exobytes, simple materials, complex materials, scraps, exobits, and other random crafting items are now worth Augment XP and can be fed into your Augments.
  • There is a new crafting ingredient called “Exo-Material,” which replaces the crafting requirements of removed crafting items in all remaining recipes.

Harvesting

  • Old exobit clusters when used now grant between 1 and 3 Exo-Materials. If you are a Member, you will always receive a bonus Exo-Material.

Feats

  • We've auto-completed all feats relating to things that can no longer be accomplished as a result of this transition.
