During your travels in the vast and dangerous world of WW3D, you'll discover that survival and dominance require more than just skill. To truly thrive, you must seek out certain characters who possess the knowledge and tools to enhance your capabilities and fortify your world against the ever-present threat of enemy attack. One such pivotal character is the Ancient Traveling Merchant, or simply "the Ancient One" for those in the know.
When the Ancient One graces your world with a visit, you can access his exclusive Device Shop by pressing the "B" key. Within this shop, a curated collection of ten unique devices awaits, each offering a distinct advantage and costing a different amount of precious materials. These devices are the key to unlocking new strategies and building a character that is uniquely suited to your playstyle.
Here are the devices available at the time of this writing:
Device Coupler: When equipped in the second slot, this device allows you to combine and amplify the effects of two other devices, unlocking powerful new synergies.
Fusion Engine Battery: Instantly refills your energy pool on demand and permanently increases its capacity by 25%.
Improbability Drive Core: Grants a 10% health bonus and allows you to instantly teleport to a random location on use, making it perfect for quick escapes or disorienting your foes.
Enhanced Expedition Armor: Boosts your armor and ammo capacity by 10% and, when used, instantly reloads your currently selected weapon.
Local System Module: Provides a 10% health bonus and improves the passive effects of your structures, strengthening your base's defenses.
NVS Amplifier: Enables night vision and, when activated, emits a blinding flash that temporarily disorients nearby enemy players.
Gyroscopic Destabilizer: A high-risk, high-reward device that decreases your projectile weapon accuracy by 50% but, when used, triggers a temporary earthquake that shakes the battlefield.
Remote Charge: A powerful explosive that can be strategically placed and remotely detonated, offering a versatile tool for ambushes and area denial.
Ammunition Synthesizer: Converts your raw materials directly into ammunition for your selected weapon, ensuring you never run out of firepower in the heat of battle.
Phase Inverter: Allows you to briefly walk through solid objects, opening up new avenues for traversal and tactical maneuvers.
In true Inventaverse fashion, you are able to equip a maximum of three devices at a time by pressing the "I" key on your keyboard. This limitation encourages creative thinking and strategic device combinations. By mixing and matching these powerful tools, you can craft builds that cater to any scenario, from stealthy getaways to overwhelming assaults.
Consider, for example, the Houdini Build, a masterclass in deception and escape:
Improbability Drive Core
Device Coupler
Remote Charge
This combination is a game-changer for faking your own death. By using the Device Coupler to link the effects of the Improbability Drive Core and the Remote Charge, you can drop an explosive, teleport to a random location, and detonate the charge all at once. For an added bonus, swap the Remote Charge for the NVS Amplifier to blind nearby enemies as you make your swift, and surprising, exit.
For those who prefer a more strategic and long-range approach, the Sniper Build is a must-try:
Fusion Engine Battery
Device Coupler
Local System Module
When paired with the Imperator research traits "Rate of Fire" and "Laser Rifle," as well as the Technomancer research traits "Aerobatteries" and "Atmospheric Platform," this build provides a near-unlimited supply of energy. This allows you to maintain a high-powered perch for sniping, raining down destruction from above without fear of running out of power.
Ultimately, your success in WW3D hinges on your ability to adapt and innovate. The devices offered by the Ancient One are not just tools; they are the building blocks of your strategy. By understanding their individual effects and discovering how they interact with each other and with your character's research traits, you can craft truly unique and devastating builds. Whether you prefer to teleport through danger, blind your foes, or rain down fire from a sniper's perch, the right combination of devices will give you the edge you need to not only survive, but dominate the battlefield.
