Scarlet Nexus gift list | Every gift for each Scarlet Nexus character

Scarlet Nexus gifts are part of the game’s bond system and the best way to increase your levels fast.

Unlike some games with friendship systems, there’s no guesswork involved in figuring out what to get. The shop robot tells you what your friends like, and there’s even a handy way to tell how much they’ll like a given gift. Don’t expect these to come cheap, though. There’s a bit of grinding involved.

You’ll have the option to buy gifts after Standby Phase 2. These are under the “Exchange” tab in the shop, and new gifts are usually added in each standby phase. They never go out of stock, and you can buy as many as you need…

...which is good because you’ll need a lot. Scarlet Nexus bond level 6 for any character takes quite a few gifts to reach. Each gift requires a specific type of special material, usually Environment Materials.

These are the white shiny resources in each level, and the type and location seem random. If you can’t find the Environment material you need, just exit the area and fast travel back to it.

However, you might get lucky and find a few gifts in the green resource cubes dotted around the landscape in each level.

Giving gifts your friends like will naturally increase their bond level more than ones they’re just okay with. You can tell what they think about a gift based on their character portrait in the exchange shop. Neutral means they’ll take it, one heart means they like it, and two means it’s a favorite.

How to give gifts in Scarlet Nexus

You'll have the option to give gifts to any characters at your hideout during Standby Phases between chapters. You can give gifts regardless of whether the character has a viewable bond episode.

If you want the Scarlet Nexus Gift Giving Freak trophy, you’ll need to give gifts to everyone except Yuito or Kasane. We’ve listed all the gifts we’ve come across for each character below. Note the Plug-In gifts don’t count toward the trophy, so you can skip those if you don’t need extra slots.

Scarlet Nexus Shiden gifts

There's a slight oddity with Shiden's gift list. Some say "cleaning items" are his favorite, but in my time with the game, I've yet to come across them.
