Issue #2: Unleash New Exo and Ward Gear

GE-0 has received a delivery of fresh new tech from GRAIL’s greatest minds (and a little material inspiration from VEKTR). Renegades who’ve proven loyal to the treasure-hunting cause can exchange them for Hawks, and leverage their impressive new abilities and uses to cause chaos out in the field!

DEVOIDER (Exo)

This reclaimed piece of VEKTR tech shows just how advanced the shadow organization really is. Some of GRAIL's brightest minds spent all night trying to understand how VEKTR managed to create a gauntlet capable of gravity manipulation—only to arrive at the conclusion that "THOSE WEIRDOS BROKE OUTER SPACE!" — more of an accusation, really.

• Common: Creates a temporary gravitational anomaly that pulls enemies within its radius and inflicts a Slowed Debuff.
• Rare: The radius of the anomaly is increased.
• Legendary: The anomaly reduces the maximum Health of enemies within its radius.

Requires GRAIL Loyalty Level IV.

Blockade Ram (Exo)

GRAIL recently had a "Take Your Kid to Work Day". It wasn’t the best idea. Kids shouldn't be on submarines. They touch everything. Some of them even snuck into R&D and drew all over the new Gear plans. The next day, when the engineers saw a drawing of a medieval knight on a ruined blueprint, they thought it was a Gear request from management. So anyway, the Renegades have a shield now.

• Common: Wield an impenetrable shield, its duration dependent on available charges. Charges fully restore over time.
• Rare: Expend all remaining charges to perform a shield attack, inflicting enemies with a Stun Debuff.
• Legendary: Charges drain 100% slower when standing still.

Requires GRAIL Loyalty Level VIII.

Loaded D20 (Ward)

Some of GRAIL's greatest inventions come in the form of happy accidents. Or, in this case, an attempt to cheat. In an attempt to win a tournament of their favorite tabletop game, a GRAIL engineer loaded a set of dice with Wonderium, hoping it would turn the odds in their favor. The engineer received a commendation for their unexpected creation, but also a lifetime ban from any future tournaments.

• Common: When activated, it grants you a random positive effect.
• Rare: Get a chance for a lucky roll, doubling the Loaded D20’s duration and reducing its cooldown.
• Legendary: Chances for a lucky roll are increased.

Requires GRAIL Loyalty Level II.

Bang-O-Matic (Ward)

Are you tired of collecting ammo off the dirty ground? Fingers cramping from always having to reload? Then look no further! The Bang-O-Matic is precisely what you need to bring unbridled, unlimited destruction to your enemies! (WARNING: the Bang-O-Matic is known to spontaneously explode. GRAIL is not liable for any injuries inflicted while using this device.)

• Common: Deploy to temporarily provide you and your allies unlimited ammunition and ensure no weapon overheats. You and your allies much stay within range of the device to receive its benefits.
• Rare: The Bang-O-Matic explodes after a short delay. Dealing damage based on distance.
• Legendary: Bang-O-Matic effective radius is increased.

Requires GRAIL Loyalty Level VI.

Smoke Blast (Ward Gear)

• Common - Creates a smokescreen. Enemies inside or near the radius of the smokescreen will be knocked back. The smokescreen remains there for some time and grants disguised status to you and your teammates so long as no offensive actions (shooting, melee attack, using Gear, etc.) are performed while inside the smokescreen. The visual effect of the smokescreen is diminished for you and your teammates.
• Rare - Enemy knock-back distance increased.
• Legendary - Smokescreen duration is increased.

Chat with GE-0 on the upper deck of the Riftwake to get your hands on these chaotic contraptions. GRAIL’s engineers have more Gear to cook up yet, and they’ll be sending more batches throughout Issue #2: Dark Arrival. You can also check out previous batches from Issue #1!
