Tips and tricks
Foregone is a 2D action-platformer loot-em-up that drops you in the role of a tough-as-nails supersoldier known as an Arbiter, tasked with saving the city of Calagan from the Harrow: a nefarious force that’s corrupting the local wildlife and raising the dead. Here are some tips & tricks for making the most out of your abilities as an Arbiter!

Tip #1: Salvage Loot, Make Money
You’ll be collecting loads of procedurally-generated loot in Foregone, but not all of it will suit your playstyle. Head to the weapons tent at the Outpost to salvage your excess loot in exchange for some sweet, sweet cash! You can then spend your gold on upgrades to your most valuable equipment, boosting their stats while keeping your favorite buffs.



Tip #2: Swap Your Abilities
As you progress through Foregone you’ll collect a handful of powerful special abilities, including the healing Restoration ability, the dash attack Surge, and more. But as helpful as these abilities are, you can only have up to 2 equipped at one time – so choose wisely! Head to the skill tree tent at the Outpost and use the right bumper to tab over to the abilities section (Page Down on keyboard) and equip your preferred abilities. Players who enjoy taking risks in exchange for a high-damage reward can forego Restoration entirely in favor of a duo of damage-dealing blows – but if you like to play it safe, we recommend keeping Restoration handy.

Tip #3: Align Your Skills with Your Weapons
As an Arbiter, you can specialize in a variety of buffs and debuffs in the skill tree found in the Outpost. Many of these skills are best used in tandem with a weapon that offers complimentary status effects: a longbow that grants 15% chance to apply Explosive Charge, for example, is made all the more powerful when you pursue the Explosive Charge branch of the skill tree! Find which status effects best suit your playstyle, and plan your weapon/skill tree combos accordingly.
