Crafting is a vital system for upgrading your gear and creating new items. You'll need to gather various resources found throughout the galaxy, such as Scrap Metal, Circuit Boards, Chemical Compounds, and rare Alien Alloys. These resources can be found by looting containers, salvaging from derelict ships, or purchasing from specialized vendors.
Workbenches, found in safe houses and major settlements, are where you'll combine these resources to craft blaster modifications, gadget upgrades, and even new outfits. Pay attention to crafting recipes, which can be acquired through exploration or by completing certain quests. Prioritize crafting upgrades that complement your chosen playstyle, such as stealth enhancements or combat damage boosts.
