A comprehensive guide to all upgrades in Axiom Verge, detailing their functions, how they help Trace progress, and their locations.
While not nearly as plentiful as the weapons, nearly every item has a specific use that is crucial to making progress in the game. All items are listed in the order they appear in the menu.
| Name | Action |
|---|---|
| Field Disruptor | Increases Trace’s maximum jump height. |
| Modified Lab Coat | While walking towards a wall that is one block wide, double tap in the direction of the wall to phase through it. |
| Bioflux Accelerator 1 | Makes two scorpion-tail like appendages sprout from Trace’s back at max health. They fire two bullets forward when the fire button is pressed. |
| Enhanced Drone Launch | Increases the range that the drone can be launched. |
| Trenchcoat | An upgrade to the Modified Lab Coat. Allows Trace to teleport in any direction by double tapping that directional button. Can travel through two columns of blocks horizontally and one row vertically. |
| Drone Teleport | Pressing Triangle after launching the Drone will make Trace teleport to that location and dismiss the Drone. |
| Bioflux Accelerator 2 | Adds two more scorpion-like appendages for a total of four shots. |
| Sudran Key | Opens a few doors in Sudra. |
| Red Coat | Another upgrade to the Modified Lab Coat / Trenchcoat. Warping now travels farther, breaks breakable blocks instantly, and leaves a particle trail that damages anything it touches. Very overpowered. Can travel through three columns of blocks horizontally and two rows vertically. |
| Passcode Tool | Unlocks the Passcode menu where various codes can be inputted to affect the game in many different ways. Some codes disable trophies/achievements. |
| Laser Drill | Hold down R2 to drill through blocks and damage enemies. |
| Remote Drone | Press Triangle to fire a Drone out that can be manually controlled. |
| Address Disruptor | Hold down R1 to fire a blue conical beam that glitches small enemies and some environmental objects. |
| Address Disruptor 2 | An upgrade to the Address Disruptor. The beam becomes red and will glitch things faster. It also glitches large enemies and more environmental objects. |
| Grapple | A grappling hook very reminiscent of the one in Bionic Commando. You can attach it to any ceiling and swing to areas not normally accessible. Hard to use. |
| Address Bomb | Pressing L2 depletes one bomb ammo to create a screen-wide shockwave that glitches anything caught in it. Can glitch even the most stubborn environmental objects. |
