What is Chaos Tech?

Chaos Tech is a new type of Ship Equipment that adds unique abilities and complements Forbidden Tech. You can unlock it from the Ship Menu and it gives immediate power to your ship.

Chaos Tech provides more focused, niche abilities and grants power faster. Unlike Forbidden Tech, Chaos Tech upgrades are always successful, with no chance of failure.

These Hostiles drop Chaos Modules, which can then be refined into Chaos Tech materials.
