{{Infobox | name = How To Play Guide For The Surge | image = Logo.png | video = {{#ev:youtube|QscdpQfUQNw|320}} }} <center><big><big><big><big> Welcome to [[The Surge Wiki]]!</big></big></big></big></center> Greetings! Regardless if you're a hardcore fan or it's your first foray into the Hardcore Action RPG genre, it does appear you've made the plunge and are interested in the world of [[The Surge]], so sit back relax and read up on '''How To Play Guide For The Surge''' your guide to the basics on everything relating to the dystopian futuristic world, as well as quite a few other things in The Surge. ==Basic Goals== Exchanging your defective [[Core Power|Power Core]]: You'll quickly find out that your rig isn't working properly and you'll need to make your way to find a proper working rig, and a better Power Core which will restore your [[Exo-Rig]]'s full functionality. Return it to the [[MedBay]] to restore functionality. {|width="100%" | width="50%" | [[File:Icon Gear Assembly.png|left]] : [[Gear Assembly]] - Use this [[Stations|Station]] to craft new gear and modify your current gear. You can repair or upgrade your equipment. New gear parts can be crafted from [[Schematics]] by holding {{Key|Enter}} when all required [[Components]] are available. To change the Mark level you wish to craft use {{Key|Q}} or {{Key|E}} | width="50%" | [[File:Icon MedBay.png|left]] : [[MedBay]] - Use the MedBay to level up [[File:Icon_CPC.png|15px]] [[Core Power]]. change implant setup, refresh health and restore implant uses. Use the MedBay to bank your collected [[File:Icon Tech Scrap Large.png|15px]] [[Tech Scrap]]. If the total amount of Tech Scrap you own (banked and collected) is high enough, you can level up the total [[File:Icon_CPC.png|15px]] Core Power of your [[Exo-Rig]]. All equipped gear and implants consume a portion of your total [[File:Icon_CPC.png|15px]] Core Power. |} ==Crafting== In order to begin crafting, you'll need to firstly collect a [[Schematics|Schematic]], then you'll need to have the correct amount of [[File:Icon Tech Scrap Large.png|15px]] [[Tech Scrap]]. Lastly you'll need to collect [[Components]] for each of the items you wish to craft. Once you've acquired the Schematic, the piece of gear can then be crafted at the [[Gear Assembly]] in the [[Ops center]] using [[Tech Scrap]] and bodypart-specific [[Components]], which are acquired by performing finishing moves on foes. In the base game, [[Gear]] starts out "Markless" and can be upgraded up to Mk. VI by using more Tech Scrap and appropriate crafting materials. In New Game+ you can upgrade equipment to Mk. X, in NG++ to Mk. XV, and in NG+3 you can take equipment all the way to its maximum efficacy at Mk. XX. ===Schematics=== [[File:Image Schematics.png|104px|right]] : Before you can craft a new piece of [[Gear]], you first must learn its [[Schematics|Schematic]]. Luckily for you, our hero [[Warren]] is a clever guy, and can figure out how most gear works if he gets a chance to take a close look at it. Unfortunately, the majority of your new coworkers are murderously unfriendly, and don't seem to have much interest in helping you out. You'll need to take matters into your own hands, and learn new [[Gear]] [[Crafting]] schematics by chopping body parts off of your [[Enemies]]. : Specifically, you'll need to increase the [[File:Icon_Energy.png|15px]] [[Energy]] bar to half or above by performing completed attacks on foes. Once you've brought your [[Enemies|Enemy]] to critical health you can perform a "finishing move" by pressing {{Key|E}} which will remove the selected body part, and if you're lucky cleanly remove the given [[Gear]] item. If you haven't yet unlocked the piece, you'll receive the [[Schematics|Schematic]], otherwise you'll get Broken Parts, which when you visit the [[Gear Assembly]] will convert into [[Components]]. ===Tech Scrap=== [[File:Image Tech Scrap.png|right]] : The further you delve into [[CREO]] and the longer you survive, the more [[Tech Scrap]] youβll gain from defeating [[Enemies]] and [[Bosses]]. Like in other hardcore games, your scrap multiplier will continue to increase as you collect and as you venture farther from the [[MedBay]]. Die, and the metal scrap farmed to that point will be dropped where you fall. You will have to fight your way back to regain it, or lose that pile forever if you die before picking it up. If you visit the [[MedBay]] you'll lose your multiplier, but you'll be able to do a few things with it. In [[Ops center]], use your horded collection to upgrade your [[Rig]] and increase its [[File:Icon_CPC.png|15px]] [[Core Power]] (your [[Exo-Suit]] level), which will allow you to use more and stronger implants, or you can use the scrap as base material for [[Crafting]] [[Schematics]], or upgrade your current [[Armor]] and [[Weapons]]. ===Components=== [[File:Icon Components.png|right]] : For each of the [[Crafting]] items you wish to create at the [[Gear Assembly]] you'll need to have the proper Components requirements to build. You'll be able to find broken gear of random drops of them off the [[Enemies]] you've previously taken out. Using the [[Gear Assembly]] will automatically disassemble your collected broken gear into their given Components. Each of the Components have a corresponding unit, for example the [[Cortical Processor Mk. I]] will always build towards the basic level of specific head [[Gear]], [[Force Regulator Mk. I]] towards arm [[Gear]], the [[Rig Armature Mk. I]] to body [[Gear]], and lastly the [[Tungsten Alloy Mk. I]] applies to the [[Weapons|Weapon]] you wish to craft. Note that you'll need to collect a higher Mk. level of components to level up your [[Gear]] (Mk. II, Mk. III and Mk. VI) which drops from later [[Enemies]]. ==Keyboard Setup== ; Toggle target lock: - Binding for toggling the target lock. ; Switch [[Enemies|Enemy]] target lock: - Binding for switching the target lock to the next enemy in range.
