- Nightsworn Sight Intrinsic:
- Defeating any target grants the player Nightsworn Sight. While this buff is active, final blows grant Truesight, letting you see enemies through walls in the red spectrum, and shots weaken targets while ammo gradually reloads from reserves. This Intrinsic can be upgraded up to four levels by completing certain criteria. Each upgrade unlocks extra customization options, such as stocks, magazines, and barrels.
- Heart Piercer trait:
- Projectiles shatter into submunitions on any contact, stunning Overload Champions.
