Retrofits allow players to upgrade their vehicles, picking and choosing from specific upgrade options to improve their vehicles armor, firepower, mobility, and technology.
Retrofit Slots[ | ]
Each playable vehicle has a specific number of retrofit slots available. All vehicles start out with three unlocked for players to use, and Tier 9 and 10 vehicles can unlock another slot as part of the vehicle upgrade tree. All slots are universal and can fit retrofits from the four groups.
Purchasing Retrofits[ | ]
Retrofits can be purchased for vehicles with Credits. Retrofits are unique to each vehicle, and once purchased can only be applied to the vehicle which they were purchased for. Players start out with all standard retrofits unlocked, and can unlock a v2 of each retrofit from playing specific vehicles. A list of the vehicles required to unlock specific retrofits as well as the costs of the retrofits can be found below.
Retrofits can also be sold for 75% of the original cost once removed from the vehicle.
