Overview
- Augments are fortifiable components designed to further empower characters, providing additional stats, content bonuses, or entirely new abilities. They were introduced with Game Update 85, along with the Teen Titans: The Judas Contract episode.
Introduction
- The modern superhero and supervillain is always evolving, seeking out and utilizing the latest magic, metagenes, and tech available for advantage in the field. For years, this has meant a focus on the Research and Development of combat equipment mods powered by Exobit fragments left over from Lex Luthor's desperate gambit to prepare the world for Brainiac. This technology has served the world well, but a new breakthrough is on the horizon that leading scientists and engineers think will make equipment mods obsolete. Why modify gear, when the technology may soon exist to modify the body?
- Designed to supplant and replace the R&D mod system, Augments are similar to but go beyond equipment mods. Instead of socketing into gear like mods, Augments socket into your character's body directly, rank up like Artifacts, and provide a wide array of new bonuses and stats.

- Augments will be unlocked once a character reaches level 25. They can be equipped by accessing the Augments tab in their Inventory menu. Each character has 8 slots total, which dedicated to different types of augments. They're grouped in subsections - Origin and Adaptive Augments are listed by item level from highest to lowest, and Power Array Augments are listed by rank from highest to lowest. Augments with the same level/rank are listed in alphabetical order. They can be ranked up under the Fortify tab in the Inventory menu.

- Origin Augments and Adaptive Augments are augments designed to provide additional stats. The higher the rank, the better the benefits. There are 5 types:
- Dominating Augments (purple) are dedicated to improve Dominance and Health, while also providing some extra Power. Recommended for Tank roles.
- Mighty Augments (red) are dedicated to improve Might and Weaponization, while also providing some extra Health and Power. Recommended for Damage roles focused on Superpowers.
- Precise Augments (yellow) are dedicated to improve Precision and Weaponization, while also providing some extra Health and Power. Recommended for Damage roles focused on Weapons.
- Restoring Augments (green) are dedicated to improve Restoration and Power, while also providing some extra Health. Recommended for Healer and Tank roles.
- Vital Augments (blue) are dedicated to improve Vitalization and Power, while also providing some extra Health. Recommended for Controller roles.
- While Origin Augments are granted for free and are designed to impact the overall content experience, Adaptive Augments were designed to impact content-specific experience and must be acquired from content-specific vendors. Exobytes are the reagents required to rank them up.

Anniversary Event · Power Array Augments · abilities · Artifacts · Nth-Metal · Event ProgressionAugments: Transition
- The transition to the new Augments system mentioned above has been implemented in a few different ways:
Mods
- When you log into the game if you are past Level 25, you will find all Origin Augments now automatically available under your Augments tab in the Inventory menu.
- You also now have an auto-completed mission in your Mission Journal called Building a Power Base. Completing this mission grants you Augment XP in the form of Golden Exobytes that can be fed to your Augments. The Exobytes you receive are based on your player character’s CR when you complete the mission.
Crafting
- The ability to craft gear mods or generator mods has been removed, leaving enhanced styles and consumables to craft only. Old items such as old exobytes, simple materials, complex materials, scraps, exobits, and other random crafting items are now worth Augment XP and can be fed into your Augments.
- There is a new crafting ingredient called Exo-Material, which replaces the crafting requirements of removed crafting items in all remaining recipes.

Trivia
- Augments are boosted to relevant levels if in an event version of an episode. All Adaptive Augments are boosted to the same level of stats regardless of type. Origin Augments are boosted to 1 level below the item level that would result in a Combat Rating at the minimum of the episode ( Metal Part II requires 276 CR, or a weighted average item level of 240, thus Origin Augments are boosted to level 239).
- Game Update 171introduced the following changes to fortification:; To reduce clutter, the Fortify tab no longer displays max-rank artifacts or augments.; Selecting a large stack of reagents will now only insert into the preview as many items as are needed to reach the next Milestone Rank. You can still select the reagents a second time to use the entire stack if you wish.
- Prior to Game Update 172, Origin and Adaptive Augments were listed by rank from highest to lowest, and augments with the same rank were listed in alphabetical order.
