This page of The Ascent tutorial focuses on combat.
We tell you how to use tactical weapons and upgrades or how to dodge.
We have also included a description of all damage types.
We also tell you how to use dodges and hide behind covers.
We have also listed all types of damage and included advice on changing equipment during fights.
Health points and healing
Constant clashes with enemies force you to heal the character all the time.
There are two ways to heal.
By walking over a red vial - you will restore a small portion of your health.
you’re free to also buy them from vending machines scattered around the game world.
Of course, if the health level drops to zero, the your character will die.
However, you do not have to worry about it - the game doesn’t punish you for death.
All items you obtained and credits stay in the inventory.
You also don’t lose any experience.
After death, the character is simply reborn at the last checkpoint (they are created very often).
However, some tactical weapons can also be automatic turrets that attack our enemies.
The first tactical weapon (basic grenade) is acquired in the starting mission ofThe Ascent.
The next ones are available from traders or can be dropped by dead enemies.
Note, however, that the use of tactical weapons is limited by tactical charge points.
The tactical charge points are gained by attacking enemies.
This process can be accelerated by developing theTactical Senseskill.
you might also get extra tactical charge by picking up yellow vials falling out of opponents and vending machines.
Augmentation slots and energy points
Augmentations are another aid in getting through the next locations.
Like other items in the game, they are obtained during the exploration of the world or from traders.
For example -Hydraulic Slamsends a shock wave causing high damage, andMono Rangersummons a robot that attacks enemies.
As with tactical weapons, the use of augmentations is limited.
It is also possible to increase the maximum level by developing theBody Batteryskill.
Evasion
An important element of combat is not only dealing damage but also moving around the map.
Evasions are great for that.Evasions allow you to retreat when enemies take a stab at surround you.
They also allow you to quickly reach the enemy hiding behind a cover.
In addition, they help infighting with opponents using a shield.
Using evasions will help you the majority of enemies' bullets.
All you have to do is hold down the raise button, and the projectile will go higher.
The hero will only raise his weapon, so he will be covered from enemy fire.
Each opponent is vulnerable to a different jot down of damage.
The grey color of the damage indicates that the weapon is ineffective against the enemy.
White indicates that the weapon deals normal damage.
Red means that the weapon is very effective and deals high damage.
All you have to do is open your inventory and switch slots.This also applies to armor.
