ABYSS gear, shop and helmets

The terminal shop

The SHOP tab on the MULE terminal sells tools for CR. Orders land at the hatch of the sub you’re standing in a second or two later.

Sonar Beacon	90 CR	Rare	Keeps creatures out of a 16 m radius while deployed.

Bear Trap	55 CR	Uncommon	Stops a pursuer: 25 damage and a 3 s stun. Mind your crew.

The stock rolls again every round. Each row holds a few units at most, and some rows sell out.
There is always a flashlight row, and there is always enough on the shelves to work with.
A Restock Token (50 V-Bucks) refills the shop straight away.
Anything you buy can be sold again at the sell press, for less.

Flashlights

Your flashlight is your most important tool. The battery drains while the light is on, so turn it off when you don’t need it. Shake the flashlight to recharge it.

Light works both ways. GRIN can see your beam, and a Lamp Maw’s own beam shows you where it is looking.

85 CR · Terminal shop

Flashlight

A reliable light with greater brightness and battery capacity. The standard torch, and the only one that can wear a skin.

35 CR · Terminal shop

Low-tier flashlight

A basic light with limited brightness and battery capacity. A dimmer beam, and it can’t wear skins.

The battery

Light on a full battery: About 20 s
Shake to recharge, empty to full: About 8 s
Charging zone on the sub: Faster than shaking
Low battery warning: At 15%

Standard numbers, before skin perks. Every shop restock has at least one flashlight row in stock.

The shotgun

Shooting isn’t always the answer. A shot sends a Snag into a fury, makes Lucy fight back and sets off a Lamp Maw straight away. Two contracts pull in opposite directions: one wants ten shots fired, another wants a whole expedition without a single one.

Helmets

You wear one helmet at a time, and picking up a new one replaces the old one. The Standard helmet comes free with your scuba tank. The others are permanent V-Bucks unlocks in the Depot.

Free

Standard

Comes with the scuba tank. No perk.

450 V-Bucks · Hands-free light

Searchlight

A powerful lamp on the crown, leaving both hands free for salvage. Great for finding valuables in an unpowered wreck, and for showing whatever lives there exactly where you are.

600 V-Bucks · See without being seen

Nightvision

Picks out salvage in near-total darkness without casting a beam. Slower to read than a lamp, but it doesn’t announce you.

500 V-Bucks · Haul more, slow less

Lightweight

Your cargo counts as about three quarters of its weight, so a heavy haul slows you down less.

800 V-Bucks · Take a harder hit

Reinforced

Layered plate over the pressure seal for more health. The only reason some divers come back up at all.

800 V-Bucks · Harder to notice

Signature dampening

Muffles your sound and silhouette, so creatures have to be much closer to notice you. When the crew is together, they tend to notice somebody else first.

The Searchlight and Nightvision run on their own helmet battery, separate from your flashlight. It recharges while switched off.

Colourways (green, yellow, blue and red) cost 30 HEX each and are cosmetic. The Pumpkin helmet is a Halloween reward.

The Depot

The Depot sells permanent upgrades and a few one-offs for V-Bucks. Everything in it is optional, and HEX bought here carries over between runs.

Permanent gear

5th inventory slot: 450 V-Bucks
6th inventory slot: 800 V-Bucks
Double Oxygen Tank: 300 V-Bucks
Helmets: 450–800 V-Bucks

One-offs

Revive: 50 V-Bucks
Restock Token: 50 V-Bucks
Contract reroll: 50 / 100 / 250 V-Bucks
Jumpscare the Crew: 50 V-Bucks
Salvage the Run: 200–800 V-Bucks

Salvage the Run settles a Repair Bill you can’t pay, so you keep going on the same day with all your credits, equipment and upgrades. It costs more the further into the run you are. Jumpscare the Crew counts down five seconds, then scares everyone in the session.

HEX packs

HEX	60	190	400	850	1,500
V-Bucks	50	150	300	600	1,000

Flashlight skins

A skin restyles any standard flashlight you pick up; you still need to find or buy the flashlight itself. Equip skins in the Codex, and your equipped skin is saved between sessions. Buy a skin while you have no flashlight and you get a free one wearing it.
