Forge Center

The Forge Center is a crucial hub within RIFTSTORM, providing two key functionalities: crafting weapons and salvaging weapons. These features allow players to enhance their arsenal and efficiently manage resources, shaping their playstyle and combat readiness.

Crafting Weapons

At the Forge Center, players can craft new weapons through two approaches:

  1. Random Weapon Crafting: Players can select to craft a random weapon, using available materials and credits.

  2. Specific Weapon Crafting: Alternatively, specific weapons can be crafted by utilizing weapon blueprints, which are obtained by completing missions.

When crafting, players also have the ability to customize the CP potential (Combat Power) and set a minimum rarity for the crafted weapon. However, crafting weapons with higher CP potential and rarity requires more materials and credits. This allows players to strategically choose between conserving resources or investing in more powerful equipment to tackle tougher missions.

Salvaging Weapons

Players can also salvage weapons they’ve acquired through missions. By salvaging unwanted or redundant weapons, valuable resources are collected, which can then be used for future crafting or other in-game advancements. This feature helps manage inventory efficiently, ensuring that each weapon serves a purpose, either in combat or as a source of materials.

Customize Loadout

It's time to equip your Weaver with the right gear. Select your primary and secondary weapons from a diverse selection available in your arsenal.

As you equip each weapon, observe icons in the bottom-left corner indicating other Weavers using the same weapon. This enhances coordination during co-op missions and maximizes team firepower.

A Confiction Labs Account is a key component of the RIFTSTORM ecosystem. While it’s not required to play the game, creating an account provides access to additional features, such as progression tracking and exclusive rewards. Below are instructions for both new and existing users.
