How It Works
Players enter the Gap (build/customization space tied to Dylan's psyche) by pressing down on the DualSense D-pad.
Buildcrafting centers on Combat Abilities, Aberrant weapon forms, and Talents that amplify synergy between abilities and melee.
Use The Gap when you want to change your loop—not mid-fight. Confirm each menu’s in-game descriptions before spending resources.
Step-by-Step
- Open The Gap from a safe state (per in-game tutorial).
- Review equipped Combat Abilities and Aberrant Primary/Secondary forms.
- Allocate or adjust Talents that support your melee ↔ ability loop.
- Equip Artifacts that trigger from actions you already perform every fight.
- Return to the world and test on regular enemies before bosses.
How systems connect
Combat Abilities come from Resonant victories; Aberrant forms are configured in The Gap alongside Talents and Artifacts.
Tips
After unlocking a new Combat Ability, revisit The Gap immediately so your Talents and Artifacts still match your spend pattern.
