Augment



Augments boost characters in multiple ways, such as increasing max health/energy, increasing pickup drop rates, etc.

Augments drop randomly from enemies, but are most commonly found in chests. Players will also come across stores randomly in levels, but they are usually tucked away in a detour. If they come across one, they will be able to enter it to purchase Augments or even Core Augments with nuts. Otherwise, there is a guaranteed store right before each boss, gated behind a 5-nuts entry fee. Stores in the same level will contain the same items, so don't spend the 5 nuts if a store has previously been emptied.

Stores will also spawn with a green machine that lets players convert 3 nuts to 1 HP in most cases, so if in danger of dying, players should make sure to visit the machine.

While most Augments give straight-up benefits, some also debuff players in certain ways.
