Long Range Scanners - so huge of an item to get early and I hear a lot of people say it is the best item in the game and in some ways they are right but honestly for it to be that good you have to get it almost immediately and the items above this one are there because they are necessary to win this is not but still easily an s tier and a snap purchase sector 6 or earlier Hacking - this was a hard choice but hacking is by far the most versatile of the top 4 items in the does everything.you get to basically remove any 1 system from your enemy whether that be shield, piloting, or weapons and really it allows for the runs where you can't find any good weapons to somehow become just does the most and looking back on my 2000 hours of playtime I feel like hacking by itself saved my ass and won me a lot of games I shouldnt have.a big part of why hacking and cloaking are so powerful is consistency.you will almost see these systems in multiple shops along your journey to the final bossīurst Laser ll - this is the best weapon in the game and the second best item in the game overall.2 power for three shots on a 12 second timer is absurdly strong and two of these will get you through 2/3s of the game by themselves and if it was not so damn rare to find in shops it might be #1įlak l - the second best weapon in the game, the reason why is auto scouts and other ships with high evasions and the skinny rooms.yes flak has a better cooldown but being able to target and take specific systems offline is essential and only in specific situations would I choose flak over burst ll as your other weapons charge time can completely make it's faster charge time obsolete as you have to wait for your other weapons to charge to fire in a volley.on the other hand eventually you will notice you find a lot more flak l's than you do burst lasers ll's because in the game files flak has a rarity of 1 and burst 2 has a rarity of 4 making it show up a lot less oftenĬloaking - my favorite defense in the game and the most reliable and really only way to deal with the bursts from the 's just really good.150 scrap and you prevent so much damage.on top of barely needing to invest scrap to upgrade it as 5 second cloak is plenty In almost all situations or runs the following items will be a serious asset to attaining victory against the rebels
