So once you&rsquo;ve found a weapon once, you&rsquo;ve basically unlocked that weapon for the rest of the game. <\/p>\n<p>If you choose to upgrade a weapon with your limited components, all subsequent guns of that type you find will also be upgraded, so you don&rsquo;t have to be precious about selling them either. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/the-ascent-best-weapons-augmentations-weve-found-so-far-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2291\" height=\"1279\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-800119\"><\/p>\n<p>By the endgame, you should have found enough components to upgrade a few to Mk 5, so while you have to choose relatively wisely with how you spend your materials, there&rsquo;s room to experiment a little. <\/p>\n<p>To give you an idea of what we liked on our playthroughs, here are some of the best weapons in The Ascent. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Dread<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>Dread might be a basic assault rifle, but it suits the run-and-gun twin-stick-shooter style side of The Ascent perfectly. <\/p>\n<p>It&rsquo;s versatile for taking down many different types of enemies and works well at both short and medium range. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/the-ascent-best-weapons-augmentations-weve-found-so-far-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2285\" height=\"1284\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-800124\"><\/p>\n<p>Once you start to come up against robotic enemies that are resistant to physical attacks, you&rsquo;ll want to pair it with an energy weapon. However, an upgraded Dread could see you through most of the game. <\/p>\n<p><strong>HFC Heat<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The HCF is a modified handcannon that sets enemies on fire &ndash; which is one heck of a pitch, right? <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/the-ascent-best-weapons-augmentations-weve-found-so-far-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2291\" height=\"1283\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-800113\"><\/p>\n<p>You can find it for yourself in an abandoned building in the Gratitude area of the city relatively early on in the game. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/the-ascent-best-weapons-augmentations-weve-found-so-far-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1558\" height=\"1130\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-800112\"><\/p>\n<p>It&rsquo;s great for picking off tough enemies as the fire does damage over time while you retreat and find cover. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Astrosmasher<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>If you&rsquo;re a heavy weapon wielding character, then it&rsquo;s hard to look past an automatic rocket launcher. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/the-ascent-best-weapons-augmentations-weve-found-so-far-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2285\" height=\"1285\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-800123\"><\/p>\n<p>The Astrosmasher is dropped by an early game boss, and is well worth a try. <\/p>\n<p><strong>EBR Enforcer<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>This energy-based burst rifle is, for me, easily the best weapon in the game. <\/p>\n<p>The energy projectiles &ndash; which also home in on enemies &ndash; make short work of all different kinds of foes, including those that are resistant to regular physical attacks. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/the-ascent-best-weapons-augmentations-weve-found-so-far-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2280\" height=\"1283\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-800120\"><\/p>\n<p>With a large clip, fast reload, and great damage potential, the EBR Enforcer is an all-around monster. <\/p>\n<p><strong>The Dealbreaker<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>This weapon is a little bit of a spoiler, so I won&rsquo;t say too much. I only bring it up because you can easily walk straight past it in pretty much the final area of the game. <\/p>\n<p>Keep your wits about you and seek out this chest in the bottom corner of Silo 86. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/the-ascent-best-weapons-augmentations-weve-found-so-far-7.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1090\" height=\"724\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-800128\"><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"section2\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>The Ascent Best Augmentations<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p>One of the defining elements of Cyberpunk fiction is the implementation of biotechnical augmentations that boost the capabilities of the human body to a fantastical degree. <\/p>\n<p>In The Ascent, these modifications lean towards the ultraviolent. <\/p>\n<p>They also tend to have a relatively long cooldown, so I find they&rsquo;re best used to get you out of a tight spot &ndash; especially as you get towards the endgame. <\/p>\n<p>Here are some of the best Augmentations we found in The Ascent. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Spiderbots<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>From the time you get them as a reward from a mid-game boss, the Spiderbots are an incredibly powerful tool in your arsenal. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/the-ascent-best-weapons-augmentations-weve-found-so-far-8.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2284\" height=\"1280\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-800122\"><\/p>\n<p>Not only do they take aggro away from your character when you need a breather, but their AoE damage is enough to clear out even some of the strongest mobs in The Ascent. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Rat Bite<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>When you return to the Deepstink for the third time in the story, be sure to open the ICE 2 door in the Waste Disposal area and pick up the Rat Bite Augmentation. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/the-ascent-best-weapons-augmentations-weve-found-so-far-9.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1142\" height=\"881\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-800118\"><\/p>\n<p>This rallies some enemy mobs to fight on your side for a limited time &ndash; another great method of drawing aggro away from your character. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Propulsion Leap<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>Speaking of crowd control, if you want to take a more proactive approach to thinning the herd, then the Propulsion Leap Augmentation you also get as a boss reward is another to consider. <\/p>\n<p>With a relatively low power and cooldown cost, this AoE splash is good at covering distance as well as taking out multiple enemies at the same time. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/the-ascent-best-weapons-augmentations-weve-found-so-far-10.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2288\" height=\"1283\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-800121\"><\/p>\n<p><strong>Neutron Beam<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>Call it a Kamehameha or a Hadouken if you want, but when all else fails, sometimes you just need to blast your way out of a corner. <\/p>\n<p>The Neutron Beam is a fantastic Augmentation for doing just that. <\/p>\n<p>Sometimes in The Ascent you&rsquo;ll get overwhelmed by big groups of enemies, and this Augmentation is one of the best ways in the game to pump out a huge amount of damage as quickly as possible. <\/p>\n<p>For more on crafting your character, here&rsquo;s our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vg247.com\/2021\/07\/29\/the-ascent-character-builds-skill-points-attributes\/\">guide on Character Builds, Attributes, and Skills in The Ascent<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>Or if you&rsquo;re trying to grab all the loot you can carry, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vg247.com\/2021\/07\/30\/the-ascent-cyberdeck-upgrades-unlock-ice-doors-chests\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here&rsquo;s where to find every Cyberdeck Upgrade in The Ascent<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vg247.com\/2021\/07\/30\/the-ascent-best-weapons-augmentations\/\">The Ascent | Best Weapons &#038; Augmentations we&#8217;ve found so far<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vg247.com\">VG247<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vg247.com\/2021\/07\/30\/the-ascent-best-weapons-augmentations\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In The Ascent, you&rsquo;re nothing but a cog in the corporate machine.
