How to unlock the Core Power achievement in The Surge - Definitive Guide

Here are a few tips to rapidly gain this achievement.

1, When respawning enemies, instead of going to the Medbay terminal go to Gear Assembly terminal. This not only respawns enemies it allows banking of tech but most important keeps your tech multiplier active. This multiplier makes a massive difference.

2, Equip as many Reclamation Buddy implants as possible. Don't destroy lower level one's, they all stack. This is the second major boost.

3, Do this in gradual stages. I usually farmed just before a boss fight. Usually stopping once I unlocked the nearest implant slot. Doing this in stages means you won't have to sit for ages trying to get one achievement.

4, Equip as many Vital Injections as you can. The Gear Assembly won't restore your health. Only visit medbay chair once health is depleted. Once your health injections are restored your tech multiplier is reset.

5, Location is important. I usually farmed near the Medbay centres. This way recovering tech is easier and it's quicker to respawn enemies. Remember too Bank your tech particularly if you are progressing through the level. If you don't want to refight all those enemies just bank it in gear assembly then return to your location

6 Best Spot - So far the best location I have found is around the Executive Forum Medbay after visiting the Boardroom. There are 3 Gorgon Security guards in a room to the right and a security bot to the left. With the Reclamation Buddy implants these 4 enemies alone drop a minimum of 10.00 Tech Scrap and severing the bots tail nets an implant which gives a further 2.00 when destroyed. If you keep the multiplier going you can easily earn more then 20.00 scrap per 4 enemies.

Here is a video of the location. I leveled from 65 to 75 in well under an hour.

Great information thank you. I’ve been farming the first area since I started the game and haven’t even beat the first boss and I’m now level 45

Further to the above, here is a great tip for healing without resetting the scrap multiplier - when you gain enough scrap equal to the amount you need for your next core level up, it will refill one of your health injectables.

Example - say your next core level up is 20k scrap. Every multiple of 20k scrap earned will refill an injectable. You can bank down to 19,999 scrap at the upgrade station then get a kill to trigger the refill, bank back to 19,999, get a kill and repeat. You can then start farming again and keep the multiplier at max.

You will more than likely get to core power 80 on your second playthrough, as it will take quite a lot of tech scrap to level up that high. To make this process go a little bit faster, equip as many Reclamation Buddy implants as you can to increase the amount of tech scrap you can earn from killing enemies. If you have enough Reclamation Buddies equipped, you should try to make a few runs through the research and development area. Going through this area just once should net you over 100,000 tech scrap if you have at least +100% tech scrap gain from the Reclamation Buddies.

To level up your core power, you will need to go to the med bay and go interact with the chair at the other end of the room. After you interact with it you will be at the core power screen. Hold to increase your core power. This area will also show you how much tech scrap you have and how much tech scrap it’s going to take to level up.

You level up your Core in Medbay with Tech Scrap. This likely won't come naturally, so you need to grind some. You can increase the amount enemies drop by not restocking on healing items, which will raise the multiplier with each kill. Another way is to install the Reclamation Buddy implant, which also will increase the amount of Scrap dropped.

Once you reach level 80, the achievement will unlock.

The charges of the energy unit are essentially the same character levels. At the end of the first playthrough of the game, you will have approximately 85-90 charges, so you don’t need to bother specifically with this trophy.

If you haven’t leveled up at the end of the game, you can easily farm at the last location, using implants with +% to spare parts.
