Items:Gadgets

From Auto Assault Wiki

Gadgets are pieces of technology, usually found as spoils of battle, that can be used to improve weapons, armor, and other items.

Equipment pieces in Auto Assault often have gadget slots, represented by dots in the item's inventory picture:

• A clear dot represents an unlocked, empty gadget slot.

• A gray dot represents a filled gadget slot.

• A red dot represents a locked gadget slot.

A player may use a gadget to filled an empty gadget slot in an item, provided the gadget matches the item's type. This can provide a variety of benefits, usually consisting of slight damage bonuses, added resistances, or statistic boosts.

Locked gadget slots are just that - locked. In order to unlock a gadget slot, a player must use a Tinkering Kit with the appropriate item type and level. When this is attempted, the game checks against the item's level and the player's level in the Tinkering research skill to determine a success rate:

• On a success, the slot is unlocked and becomes an unlocked, empty slot.

• On a failure, the Tinkering Kit is destroyed.

• On a critical failure, which occurs ten percent of the time, both the Tinkering Kit and the item in question are lost.
