Here's a look at Prey's weapon and power combos along with info on the Alien tech tree
A new gameplay video for Prey, focusing on Weapons and Power Combos has been released, showing some of the different ways to combine weapons, tools and abilities.
In Prey, players will be able customize Morgan Yu with 24 human upgrades and 20 alien powers which can also be upgraded.
Along with the human abilities such as Hacking, Gunsmith, Leverage and Repair and Gunsmith, players will have three trees of Typhon-based abilities: Energy, Morph and Telepathy. Each of the alien powers come with reward and risk.
When alien powers are installed, the turrets on Talos I will view the player as a hostile entity. If that weren't enough, the more alien powers used, the risk of being hunted by the massive Nightmare Typhon increases.
You can look over the full list of alien powers below, and more details through Bethesda.
