Saloon

The saloon is the hub for your exploration of the station, and where you can spend your meta- currency to improve your chances. Here, you’ll find the following elements:

The Reloader and hoists

This is where you begin your delves into the dungeon and where you will respawn after any run. You can choose from three different first floor districts, though initially only Astral Harbor will be unlocked.

The Cafe

Talk to Fassie and get him to mix you up a refreshing beverage: These spicy drinks will change the rules of your runs to create a fresh new experience.

The Hacking Post

At this terminal you can unlock new districts by applying District Keys you found and check in which districts you have goals for hero quests.

The Workshop

Visit Comrade to spend Cells and Scraps.
Cells: Find these in chests and use them to upgrade guns, heroes, and the Crystal Bot. These can buff your squad or further specialize your heroes as you progress through their quest lines.

Meta Progression in Multiplayer
