Consumables - Booster Menu

Booster menu

Boosters are consumable items used in multiplayer mode.

Acquisition[ | ]

No boosters are available at the start of multiplayer gameplay. Boosters can be found in packs that have been purchased and/or claimed from the store. Experience Enhancers II and III are always available for purchase in the the item store.

Mechanics[ | ]

Boosters are equipped in the Consumables sub-menu in the Character Customization menu and up to two can be equipped per mission. Only one booster from a class can be equipped at a time. Boosters are consumed when the mission ends but last for the entire duration of the mission.

Using a booster applies to everything it effects. For example, applying an ammo booster while having two weapons equipped will give that ammo to both weapons.

For comparison, Equipment are permanent items that can be reused an unlimited amount of times.

Booster Classes[ | ]

There are 6 Booster Classes that can be used in multiplayer.

  • Ammo Booster Crate Ammo - These boosters add powerful effects to fired rounds, including Incendiary Ammo which sets foes on fire, and Cryo Ammo, which can freeze enemies solid.

  • Offensive Booster Crate Offensive - These boosters improve offensive capabilities, such as a higher ammo capacity or increased melee damage.
  • Defensive Booster Crate Defensive - These boosters improve defenses such as shield strength and shield regeneration rate.
  • Power Booster Crate Power - These boosters improve power usage, from greater power cell capacity to damage boosts.
  • Progression Booster Crate Progression - These boosters increase resources - such as experience - gained during missions.

Notes[ | ]


This article contains in-game derived data and research is on-going. This data is intended for reference purposes only and not official data.

For the most part, Experience Enhancers are like any other: they affect only the player equipping it. The booster is applied to the sum of the squad XP, adjusted for difficulty; if the mission modifier gives a bonus to experience points, the booster is applied to that as well.

The application of Experience Enhancers is not entirely predictable. If the player joins the match after Wave 1 or if the team changes during the match, the result may be unexpected. Research into the mechanics is ongoing.

A Bronze mission has the mission modifier One Life to Live, which has a 20% bonus to XP and credits. An Experience Enhancer III (75%) was equipped.
