It has three locations at the moment, the Sleeping Quarters, the Card Shop and the Mission Centre. [u][b]Sleeping Quarters[/b][/u] The Sleeping Quarters is a key strategic location in the game where you can heal your heroes if they suffered some damage from a fight with the vicious machines. One health point will cost 20 scraps for one hero.

Your heroes can also acquire new skills in exchange for these skill points. You can choose from three possible skill trees specific to each of your characters. Each skill tree comes with three new powers that you can unlock using the skill points you’ve gathered, the first one costing 3, the second 6, and the third 9 points.

Our next location in the Hideout is: [b][u]The Card Shop[/u][/b] A place where you can spend your scraps on improving your heroes’ decks. You can either: [list] [*] Upgrade cards: this will take two of the same cards and make them into a stronger one. For example if you have two Ice Axe cards and you choose to upgrade, you will end up with one improved Ice Axe card that will deal more damage to your enemies than the ‘’regular’’ version.

This will become available to your heroes in the Early Access game, we will share some more information on it in the coming weeks, so stay tuned! [*] Remove cards from your deck: you can remove cards you don’t need for a price based on how rare the specific card is.

In the Early Access version, this will also be the place where your heroes can access the unlimited random side missions they can use to collect more cards, gain more skill points to become stronger and practice for future battles.
