12 Unstable diode
An essential upgrade that not only you should unlock as soon as possible, but also you should also continue to maximize. (It has five different levels). A bigger vault in this game will reduce your headaches a lot.
Heat_Sink.exe
Increases your heat capacity.

12 Unstable biomass
Marathon endurance is hotand you will use it when running, aerial movements and using special abilities. Another thing you need to mine ASAP.
Scavenger.exe
The speed of your prey is increased.
This is very cheap and quite useful, because opening containers and stuff is something you'll be doing every run.
Max Looter
You can purchase the Superior Backpack from the Armory.
This one will take some time, but it's one to watch out for. The Superior backpack allows you to have a lot more things when you runand will be really useful once you start getting better with your gear and the rest of your abilities.
Recovery.exe
NuCaloric
Self-healing speed will increase.

Using your healing items is something you will do a lot while you have them but it takes time. The vital seconds in which another enemy could attack you – avoid this with this update that will save you precious seconds.
Shielded
The Armory unlocks Enhanced Shield Implants.

13 Unstable biomass
This item allows you to get a better shield than you start withwhich will really come in handy. If you can, work too following upgrade: Armored. Unlocks the Deluxe implant.
Flexible
Your Rook Shell will have a Patch Kit and a Shield Charge.
You'll learn it sooner or later Rook runes are amazing for finding prey with lower (or no) risk. However, your class is quite rudimentary in terms of equipment and abilities. This will allow you to change it up a bit and begin the journey to tower rule.
2ND_Chance.exe
Self-Revive does not need to be consumed after use.
Okay, it might not be that useful compared to the rest of the buffs here due to the low rate of Self-Revive items, but consider taking it when you can. If you're lucky, standing on your own will change the game twice.
Flex_Matrix.exe
Midas
Increases your agility.
-
Rank 3
-
750 credits
-
16 Unstable lead
Agility increases your movement speedand this stat is essential in this game.
Castling
This gives Rook a bunch of claymores.
Continue to strengthen the tower bit by bit. Claymores can be deadly when used wellespecially against beginners.
Reboot.exe
Arachne
Your recovery rate is increased.

Rank 7

19 drone resins

17 Unstable gels
Trying to bring your teammates back from the land of the dead only takes seconds, but it feels like years. Revive them much faster with this upgradewhich you can unlock twice more.
Hard_Strike.exe
Increases your Melee Damage.
-
Rank 5
-
1500 credits
-
7 drone resins
-
6 Unstable gels
I would argue that your melee damage is low with almost any Runner Shelleven if you use a knife instead of fists. Hard_Strike.exe fixes this and is invaluable in a game of surprising your opponents as much as possible.
Boomstick
Gives Rook a WSTR Combat Shotgun and ammo.
This is it. If you enjoy playing Rook, there is no other disgusting and over the top upgrade like this one. The WSTR is a really powerful shotgun and will completely change your runs with this Shell.
