Core Power 200

[Eckowz]

I'm about to finish my first playtrought and I reached Core Power 200(a lot of grinding...).
My question is: There is a reason to go even further, since any implants benefits from this and I can equip any gear+any implant?

Edit: So, each NG+ adds a certain amount of implant slots and since you need core power to equip more implants...
Thank you everyone!

no. but if you continue to ng+ you can increase your inplant slots.

Your core power resets to 10 in NG+? It's actually been a pretty while since I've played the Soul series, or Diablo, for that matter, so I can't really remember how NG works.

No, you keep your core power. However, you can get more implant slots. Basically your starting rig in NG+ has the same number of slots as the Security rig in NG and the Prototype and Security rigs increase this (although only by 3 each rather than 4).

Sorry to ask but : is CP200 the max ?

[nullforceomega]

I haven't heard of anyone reaching a max core level, but there are problems with leveling too high, as you eventually stop earning scrap bonuses (in field consumable refills, energy and stamina boosts, even health regen I think) because the amount of scrap you have to acquire in order to trigger them is based on the cost for your next core level.

Each additional NG adds two more implant slots for a max of 20 implants. Most of my builds in game only need 150 power.

NG+++ is the soft ending of the game. While you can continue beyond this you'll recieve no more implants and the enemies will continue to scale while you will not. You will hit a point at which progression becomes impossible.

Somewhere around NG+++ the basic enemies will be stronger than the bosses of the first game.

Hey, that's actually pretty smart to think that way. The only problem I see is that, once you finished NG+, there is no reason to not rush through the mobs... :/

Maybe I didn't understand something but, I'm in NG+4 now and I have 28 implant slots.

Mobs scale with each +, so even the most basic zombie-style in the first area can and will kill the hell out of you if you aren't careful. Additionally you'll run into the "hodge-podge" enemies that make their appearance in NG+, and those guys can lay down some serious hurt (they don't re-spawn once killed tho').

ng+7 and i need 295 (of1410) cp so far.

@LeTroglodyte
are you sure, that you're ng+4? at the end of ng+3 you should have 34 implant slots. in ng+4 you get 1 slot for each upgrade so you finish with 36. in ng+5 you start with 34 again but with implant #35 and #36 active. when you upgrade your rig later you can change the implants again. atm there is a bug with implant slots on higher difficulties a dev told me.

What the bloody hell? Is this a troll, or is it true? Dude, you truly love this game!

Hm... Seems like I can't do maths. You're right, I have 34 implant slots.

You're in NG+7 ? How's your implant optimisation ? Only Vital Boost and weapon proficiency boost ?
I imagine rolling a glass canon is the best option in NG+ and beyond...

cp 200 at the end of NG? I just beat NG+++ at 140ish and it was a piece of cake

Thanks for sharing, dude. Pretty much what I thought it was.

I killed BC with only 8 implants and PC 55. I didn't realized it but I was totally underleveled. I went back to the first map and started clearing everything again, so I don't miss anything. I just don't think I'll go back to biolabs again. That place was such a pain in the ass.
