Armed figures stand in a warmly lit industrial arena above the words “October 28” and “Festivity.”

STALCRAFT: X’s Arena will let players choose combat, scientist, or combo armor at the start of each match, then improve weapons, armor, and Talismans through collected parts and Shop upgrades. EXBO’s Steam post details the progression ahead of Festivity’s scheduled return on Oct. 28.

Three parts are needed to increase the rank of weapons and armor. Players can also use those parts to upgrade gear to +5 and +10 while they wait. Gear ranks must be raised in order, from Picklock or Newbie to Master.

Talismans offer a separate route to stronger gear. Equipping 2 or more different Talismans from the same set grants an additional bonus, and higher Shop levels let players equip more. Combining identical Talismans upgrades them to +15 instantly.

Those choices feed into the Arena’s round structure and rewards, which pair mutant waves with a boss every fourth round and team PvP every fifth. Festivity is scheduled to run from Oct. 28 through Nov. 18.
