The latest update for Ember Knights is here, and it is a big one. That’s because it is now possible to improve your weapons using weapon mods.
To customize weapons in Ember Knight, you’d have to defeat the Phantom boss in the Haunted Village. After that, the NPC called Mechanical Arms Robot Variant 1N or Marvin the robot will be unlocked.
Marvin grants your weapons with different traits and bonuses to match your desired playstyle. For instance, you can attach the Leap mod on the Rift Hammer to let perform a leap attack if that is your thing.
Each weapon in the game has three modification slots. For you to unlock their full potential, you need to acquire some Ash. This can be obtained from defeating enemies affected by Praxis’ buff during special encounters.
Aside from being able to put mods on weapons, the latest update also adds an option to kick players during a game. This feature can be found under the Gameplay tab in the settings. This is great when you encounter unruly players and those who don’t cooperate.
Here are the other major changes in this patch:
- Share your weapons! If ANY player in an online game has a weapon unlocked, ALL players will be able to use it.
- Access your mods! Players with Modding unlocked can access their Mods in any online game. Freely equip, unequip, and unlock new Mods!
- Saving your progress! Ash acquired and Mods unlocked in online games are saved to your local file.
