It gives away why all the high-tech gear of the four protagonists was lost and what they need to craft weapons, suits, mods, and more.

How To Craft Gear In Gotham Knights

As players go through Gotham Knights and take down various villains, a few of them will drop blueprints. These blueprints might be for new weapons or suits that can be built using the Gear Menu of the Batcomputer in the Belfry headquarters. 

By vanquishing foes and collecting the items they leave behind, you will unlock further crafting recipes. When you acquire a new recipe, it will be shown on the left side of the screen, in addition to any other materials that you have acquired. The more difficult the foe you take on, the greater the chance that you will get superior recipes and higher-level equipment.

When you take down an enemy Tank, there is a good chance that you will get a recipe as well as a high-level piece of equipment. Some recipes are more useful than others; anytime you earn a higher rank recipe, you may obtain all suits and legendary melee weapons in Gotham Knights to add to your collection.

The better the recipes, the better the gear you can make with them. There are several quests that necessitate the player to create a particular kind of armor, and completing such quests will likely open that sort of armor for the character.

To be successful at crafting, you will need to have enough supplies. When you beat foes and collect the items they’ve dropped, you’ll have access to various resources. Chests are another place on the globe where you may look for various materials; they have often tucked away in obscure corners.

Crafting Weapons

The process of crafting in Gotham Knights allows you to improve your characters, get weapons and equipment, and upgrades, and obtain a variety of other customizing possibilities. You will be able to improve your performance and make easier advancement in the game as a result of all of these elements. It appears that when working at the Workbench in the Belfry, players will also have the opportunity to construct several types of weapons.

It will be easier for you to evolve into a valuable member of the Bat-family if you have obtained more sophisticated melee weapons and legendary customizing options. For example, the effectiveness of Robin’s Elemental Abilities in the game is directly related to the Elemental Effect Build-Up score of their weapon. It underscores to players how important it is to continually create new armor and weapons whenever they get the opportunity.

On top of that, it assists you in rapidly implementing your playstyle inside the game and enables you to properly handle any challenges that may arise as you go through the game’s narrative.

There is a Level, Power, Damage, Critical Chance, and Elemental Effect associated with every weapon. The higher gear quality and rarity reflect your hero’s weapon strength and the amount of damage you can do. 

Although it is doubtful that a character’s armed weapons would alter their general combat style or movements, the weapons appear to give their own special benefits, such as elemental damage and more.

Crafting Suits

You will have access to three different choices to tinker with when you use the workbench: Ranged, Melee, and Suit. The subcategories will appear no matter which protagonist you choose to play, but each hero will have a unique set of statistics that correspond to their role in the game. Each costume features distinct components, such as the Cowl, Symbol, Gloves, and Boots, each of which has its own set of accessories to go along with it.

While traversing Gotham City, you will come across the blueprints for new outfits, and completing tasks and putting an end to criminal activity will reward them with the resources needed to create those new outfits. At the Workbench located in the Belfry, you will have the ability to create any of the outfits for which blueprints have been discovered.

The blueprints include a list of the components that the players need to acquire before they may create the weapon or armor of their choice. Thankfully, all of the raw materials needed for manufacturing can be discovered quite readily throughout Gotham, and the locations of these items are clearly denoted on the map.

You may pick up certain things or resources by first highlighting them in the crafting interface and then looking for them in the city where you are currently located. As soon as you have enough, go to the Belfry to put it all together and follow a blueprint to get the necessary piece of gear.

Each suit includes a variety of statistics that players may use to distinguish between them:

  • Rarity: This one provides an indication of the suit’s overall quality. The more uncommon the outfit is, the more valuable it will be.
  • Level: 
  • Grade: A stat that is exclusive to the Legendary outfits in the game.
  • Power: The power level of a suit almost certainly signifies the amount of additional damage that your character is able to deliver when wearing that outfit.
  • Armor: This one reflects the amount of damage that the outfit is able to prevent.
  • Health: If you are putting on a suit, this stat will tell you the total hits you will be capable of taking before being knocked out.
  • Momentum Generation: This stat is not present in all suits, but it seems to be connected to some skill that requires you to build up a charge before attempting a certain maneuver.
  • Elemental Resistance: Those suits who have this stat will have the ability to defend themselves against certain elemental strikes.
  • Conditional Stats: Tells some specific condition that can be avoided if the suit has one.
  • Mod Chip Slots: Total number of slots the suit can have to get extra perks
  • Style: Tells overall theme of your hero’s outfit
  • Colorway: Tells the color or various hues of the outfit

Crafting Mods

Players are able to mix different mods to create powerful new effects. Players will be able to make the most of their characters as a byproduct of this, which is essentially the same thing as merging several modifications together to create a new mod. By fusing a mod, a player in Gotham Knights may increase their skill set as well as the variety of their special moves.

You will be able to obtain modifications of greater rarity the more you discover and the more tasks you do. When you have acquired four of these modifications, you will be able to combine them for a more potent effect. It is essential to have a potent mod while you are in the middle to the late game so that you may accumulate more stats, which would not be available to you otherwise if you did not slot the modifications into your suit.

It won’t take a rocket scientist to figure out how to make some very strong fusion modifications in Gotham Knights; all you have to do is go to the gear section on the Batcomputer. You are going to need a significant quantity of modifications, which you may get by achievement rewards and winning battles against foes.

The most reliable method for acquiring the most unique modifications is to look for Batman’s secret caches, which are dispersed in Gotham City. These crates often contain some of the most unique and hard-to-find modifications in the game. Because you get a mod depending on your hero level, it is to your advantage to complete this task while you are at your maximum level.

In Gotham Knights, players who want to get the most out of their modifications should prioritize obtaining yellow and orange mods as they are the rarest and most effective mods, even though blue mods are still a fine choice in the early game.

All mods that you can get in Gotham Knights will be of the following rarities:

  • Common: White
  • Uncommon: Green
  • Rare: Blue
  • Epic: Purple
  • Legendary: Yellow 
  • Heroic: Orange 

The legendary and Heroic mod chips can only be acquired via mission rewards. The rarity of the modifications determines the strength of the power and effect that may be slotted into the weapons and armor of your characters. This applies even if the mods are identical.

How To Craft Legendary Gear

In Gotham Knights, it is necessary to be aware of the locations of the blueprints in order to be able to create legendary equipment. Blueprints for legendary gear may be obtained as rewards for completing challenges of very hard activities. Legendary equipment is among the most effective in the game, but acquiring its blueprint or making it is a challenge in itself. You’re likely to get NTH Metal legendary material by farming these High Difficulty activity missions.

However, in order to obtain the equipment you need, all you will have to do is repeatedly participate in high-level activities located across Gotham City. You will need to collect Legendary Blueprints in order to be able to create legendary equipment. You may receive these blueprints by finishing any task that is considered to be of high difficulty. Find the red Very High difficulty icon on your map and follow it until you reach your destination.

The best way to complete these hard activities is to play co-op with a friend and beat down enemies effectively. These sub-missions are difficult already, and bringing a buddy who could kick some scum of Gotham City will be a relief. That is why we can’t recommend enough playing these hard activities in co-op instead of solo. 

You may participate in these activities anywhere around the Gotham City area. In addition, as you make more advancements in the game, you will be able to access much more high-level tasks that will provide you with additional experience points, schematics, and unique goods as rewards.

The operation of legendary blueprints is comparable to that of all other blueprints. You are provided with one, but it may be used to make purchases in any department that you want. However, doing so will cause it to be lost forever, meaning that you won’t be able to utilize the same blueprint for any of the characters you choose to play.

How To Unlock Crafting In Gotham Knights

The Workbench in the Belfry allows players to create their own Melee weapons. After you have completed chapters 1.1 and 1.2 of the game, it will become available to you. You will need to accomplish another task called “Prepare for Patrol” once you have finished “The Langstrom Drive.” When you return to HQ after completing that task, you will be given the opportunity to customize your armor as well as your ranged and close combat weaponry.

Why Upgrading Gear Is Important

The Batcave, along with all of the family’s belongings, perished along with Batman when he passed away. This implies that Robin, Nightwing, Batgirl, and Red Hood do not have access to any of the equipment or devices that were kept at their HQ. Consequently, the group will be responsible for hand-crafting every piece of gear they require.

The game’s crafting and leveling-up system is undoubtedly one of the most engaging aspects of the experience. It provides gamers with even more options for developing their heroes further. You may design and modify a variety of outfits for each of the four characters, each of which offers higher stats as well as specific advantages that are determined by the user’s desired play style.

Crafting will become an extremely crucial aspect of the game as you move further through it. It is the only element that will keep you going and allow you to continue following the narrative. 

The importance of your power level in Gotham Knights cannot be overstated. It increases the number of tasks you can complete, the number of activities you can participate in, and the rate at which you can kill foes.

Due to this, you’re likely to search Gotham City for Legendary Gear as often as you can! With the help of these tools, it will be able to breeze through battles and make it through some of the most challenging situations.

In Gotham Knights, you will have the option to traverse an open-world rendition of Gotham City either alone or in cooperative play with a friend. You have the option of taking control of any one of these four heroes: Batgirl, Robin, Red Hood, or Nightwing.
