Rigs provide functional advantages that help you manage threats and support teammates during trials.

Acquiring Rigs

When you visit the Workshop, you can choose from four different Rigs — X-Ray Rig, Medical Rig, Stun Rig, and Blind Rig. Each Rig provides a distinct tactical benefit. The X-Ray Rig allows you to detect enemies and objects through walls. The Medical Rig releases a healing gas that restores health to you and nearby allies. The Stun Rig lets you throw a device that momentarily incapacitates enemies, while the Blind Rig deploys a landmine that emits disorienting smoke when triggered. Every Rig can be obtained for one Green Voucher.

After purchasing a Rig, you can upgrade it using additional Green Vouchers to enhance its performance and unlock new effects.
