Crafting System Basics

M.A.R.S. has a crafting system that allows you to create many items that will help you take on all the maps the game has to offer. To craft these items you need blueprints for them, you can get these blueprints from missions, the shooting gallery, or the store.

Crafting Weapons
Once you have the blueprint for a weapon you'll need 2 materials, Weapon Cores and Crafting Cores.

Weapon cores are the main crafting ingredient, they can be gotten from missions or the shooting gallery.

Crafting Cores are the universal crafting ingredient, they're used in both weapon and turret crafting. They can be gotten from missions or the shooting gallery.

Weapons can have different rarity levels, the highest possible rarity is listed on the crafting blueprint.

Weapons can also have Traits that increase damage against certain enemy types, or offer stat boosts like reduced recoil.

When crafting weapons there is a "Amplify" box that can be checked. "Amplify" uses rare medals that increase the chance of your crafted weapon having a higher rarity, or better weapon traits.

Crafting Turrets
Once you have the blueprint for a turret you'll need 2 to 3 materials depending on the turret level, Turret Cores, Crafting Cores, and a turret of a lower level.

Turret cores are the main crafting ingredient, they can be gotten from the quantum arena or the shooting gallery.

Crafting Cores are the universal crafting ingredient, they're used in both weapon and turret crafting. They can be gotten from missions or the shooting gallery.

A lower level turret is needed for turrets that are level 2 and higher. For example, A level 3 turret will need turret cores, crafting cores, and a level 2 turret of the same type.

Turret crafting can fail, which destroys the cores leaving you with only your turret.

Crafting/Disassembling Cores
You can craft higher level Turret and Crafting cores using the crafting system.

Higher level turret cores can be crafted by using 2 of the lower level cores.

Many components can be disassembled into their lower levels. This disassembly is not in the crafting menu, instead it is in your inventory. There is an icon next to the trash can on components that are able to be disassembled. Turret cores will be disassembled at the same rate as the crafting recipes (ex. 2 level 1 cores for disassembling a level 2 core)
