As announced on February 28th, 2025 there are changes coming to the rarity equipment. Here are some common questions that came from this announcement.

Fusion System Questions

  1. Question: The new Fusion System sounds great. But will there be crafting times on it?
    EP / Dev Answer: There will be no crafting times with the new Fusion System. All fusion crafting will be instant!

  2. Question: Can crafting in the new Fusion System be done in one click and will it let us auto-fuse whenever possible?
    EP / Dev Answer: It might be a couple more clicks than 1 due to mechanics (selecting the component, selecting the target rarity). But the short answer is that the intent is to have it as easy and quick as possible.

  3. Question: Will crafting negatively impact the background caps? IE will turning uncommons into rares mean I need to get more uncommons to count toward the cap before I am guaranteed to get the better drops?
    EP / Dev Answer:  Chest drops are wholly independent of what blueprints you own, and depend entirely on an item pool associated with that particular chest in order to prevent bad luck. I.e. you can fuse components freely without fear of altering your odds.

  4. Question: Why is this (Fusion Building) a new building instead of capitalizing on something like the Retrofit Lab that already exists? The thought is that it will make the base defense more difficult by being another stack for the pay-to-win Gobblers.
    EP / Dev Answer:  We wanted to keep it separate as it provides distinct functionality.
