The Replicator is a crafting station found at various locations on the map. It allows players to craft specific weapons, attachments, healing items, and even Evo Shields using 'Crafting Materials' collected from bins and ground loot. The items available in the Replicator rotate weekly, with some weapons being 'vaulted' into the crafting system for a season. Using the Replicator strategically can ensure you have the gear you need, especially if RNG hasn't been in your favor.
Crafting Mechanics:
- Crafting Materials: Small blue cubes found in supply bins or as ground loot.
- Rotating Items: The available weapons and attachments change weekly.
- Vaulted Weapons: Some weapons are removed from ground loot and can only be obtained via the Replicator for a season.
- Evo Shield Upgrade: You can craft an Evo Shield of a higher tier if you have enough materials.
Crafting Strategy:
- Prioritize Needs: Craft essential items like a better body shield, specific weapon attachments, or crucial healing items.
- Vaulted Weapons: If your preferred weapon is vaulted, plan to visit a Replicator.
- Safe Crafting: Replicators are vulnerable. Ensure the area is clear before committing to a craft, as the animation leaves you exposed.
- Team Coordination: Communicate with your team about what you're crafting and if anyone needs specific items.
