The Cradle, a massive lunar base that serves as the setting for third-person hacking shooter Pragmata<\/a>, is a dangerous place to be. It\u2019s crawling with killer robots, often popping up with little warning as you explore its many facilities and passageways. Luckily, there\u2019s the Shelter, a tucked-away location that provides a place where you can build your arsenal, restock, heal up, and take a break.<\/p>\n

The Shelter is more than just a place to prepare, though \u2014 it\u2019s also where you can build the relationship that develops between protagonist Hugh and Diana, an android in the form of a young girl he discovers in the Cradle. Their bond is Pragmata\u2019s heart, both in its hacking-and-shooting gameplay and in its narrative.<\/p>\n

Expanding the Shelter, powering up its facilities, and making it a little homier is a big part of Pragmata\u2019s gameplay. Here\u2019s everything you\u2019ll want to know about your home on the moon.<\/p>\n

Upgrade Hugh and Diana at the Firmware Updater<\/strong><\/h2>\n

At the center of the Shelter are its two main stations: the Firmware Updater and the Unit Printer. The Firmware Updater is where you can enhance Hugh\u2019s suit and primary weapon, increasing his HP and the damage of his gun. You can also enhance Diana\u2019s hacking abilities so that enemy armor stays open longer on a successful hack. The Firmware Updater makes you stronger overall, so visit it early and often.<\/p>\n

Expand and enhance your arsenal at the Unit Printer<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Shelter\u2019s other main station is the Unit Printer, where you can spend all the blue Lunafilament you find as you explore the Cradle. Each time you find a new weapon unit or hacking node, you can then spend Lunafilament to unlock it permanently in the Shelter, which allows you to add it to your loadout whenever you visit. Unlocking weapons and hacking nodes early means if you run up against a tough challenge or boss, you can double back to the Shelter and change your loadout to better fit what you\u2019re facing.<\/p>\n

Travel around the Cradle fast<\/strong><\/h2>\n

You\u2019ll find and open entrances to the tramway that lead back to the Shelter all over the Cradle. These locations serve as checkpoints where you can heal up and rearm, as well as a means of fast travel \u2014 when you open a new entrance, you can use the Tram in the Shelter to return to that spot, or any other that you\u2019ve unlocked. As you gain new abilities that can open up new portions of areas you previously explored, the Tram system becomes invaluable.<\/p>\n

Meet Cabin, get bingos<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Once you get far enough exploring the Cradle, you\u2019ll gain licenses that expand the Shelter\u2019s capabilities and summon Cabin, a robotic assistant who controls some of those systems. The friendly bot introduces you to the Cabin Stamp Club, where you can trade in Cabin Coins you find around the Cradle to stamp Cabin\u2019s bingo cards. As you fill in the cards and rack up bingos, you\u2019ll unlock new features in the Shelter, upgrades and outfits for Hugh and Diana, and more.<\/p>\n
