INTRODUCTION

Augments are the new form of Modding where Mods aren't on the Gear but on the body. They level up with the player similar to Artifacts. Augments were announced on June 1st, 2018 and the post can be read here. Augments released on July 18th alongside Episode 32 Teen Titans - The Judas Contract. Augments are unlocked on the character at Level 25 and are given 20 Origin Augments (4 Augments per 5 Stats). Below is information ranging from the Mentor specific types of Origin Augments to the different types of Exobytes.

DCUO released their own Augments Guide here.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Augment UI

Each Mentor type has a special UI with their Augments. Below are the different UIs for both Male and Female characters. In the UI, you can equip 2 Adaptive Augments and 4 Origin Augments. The Adaptive Augments are placed in the top 2 slots and the Origin Augments are placed in the bottom 4 slots. The Description of each of these will detailed in the sections below.

Research and Development

Added on July 11th, 2018 during Testing, there are now Exobyte R&D Plans added to the R&D Station in the new Exobyte Section. All players will have these added to their R&D Stations automatically on Launch Day. Crafting is still required with Enhanced Styles from the various Time Capsules and Winter Seasonal as well as crafting Soder Cola variations. The Soder Cola Feats are not given to players since we can still craft those.

EXO-MATERIALS

The Gotham and Metropolis Open Worlds and where ever Exo Nodes spawn will still be useful. They will drop a new item called Exo-Materials. These will now be the default items used in Crafting on the R&D Vendor. Power Interaction Consumables and Soder Consumables will use Exo-Materials in their crafting. The Developers have hinted at other Crafting to be using this item. So far the Nodes give 2-4 Exo-Materials and do count towards the Gathering Feats.

Exobyte Plans

These plans are used to increase the Quality of the Exobytes to make higher Quality versions. These will increase a Flawed to a Solid and a Solid to a Pristine. These plans require Exo-Materials found in Exo Nodes in the Open World.

Obsolete R&D Items

The old R&D of Modding is a thing of the past. Exobits and Exobytes are no longer needed for crafting. The other items that are considered Obsolete R&D items include:
- Exobits, Exobytes, Simple Materials, Complex Materials, Exceptional Recovery Kits
- Essence Purifiers, Essences, Core/Focus Elements (from Ep27 - Amazon Fury Part 3 to Ep31 - Deluge)
- Exchange Equipment Mod Kits, Exchange Generator Mod Kits, Equipment Mod Surplus Box (From Replacement Mod Box Gift)
These items are now XP items to rank up your Augments. They give 20 XP per item, so a stack of 99 will net 1980 XP.

EXOBYTES

These aren't the same Exobytes prior to 2018! These have been retooled and are the main XP item to level your Augments. Below are the various ways to get Exobytes including Missions from the Episodes starting with the launch of Episode 32: Teen Titans - The Judas Contract.

Salvaging

You obtain Exobytes from Salvaging Gear so using the R&D Station will still be needed. Different Gear Item Level yield different Mark (MK) type of Exobytes. The higher the MK Exobyte the more XP it'll give. Salvaging Gear will still go towards the Salvaging Feats.

Within the different MK Exobytes they have different types to correspond to their Rarity and Specialization. Flawed Exobytes are Whites/Grays and give the least XP, Solid Exobytes are Green give a Moderate amount of XP and Pristine are the Blues and give the highest XP. In between are the Specialized Exobytes pertaining to the 5 Stat Type Augments.

When using a MK Type Stat Exobyte on its corresponding Origin Augment, it yields a +50% increase in Experience (XP). When using a Stat Type "Adaptive Augment" Exobyte on its corresponding Adaptive Augment, it will yield a +100% increase in XP. Each Episode will introduces its own Adaptive Augment and will have Exobytes to go with them. As an example, Episode 32 introduced the Cybernetic Adaptive Augments and use Cybernetic Exobytes. Episode 33 introduced the Enchanted Coral Adaptive Augments and use Enchanted Exobytes and so on.

Its not recommended using the Adaptive Augment Exobytes on the Origin Augments due to them giving a -35% decrease in XP. Be sure use the Exobytes with the correct Augments.
