Artifact Slot Count Confirmed for First Run and New Game Plus
Players can equip up to three Artifacts during the first playthrough, while New Game Plus unlocks a fourth slot.
Published · Official-source briefing
Control Resonant allows up to three equipped Artifacts during the first campaign. New Game Plus adds a fourth slot, creating more room to combine passive modifiers, conditions, and trade-offs.
What was confirmed
Artifacts can affect survivability, combat output, exploration, or the resource economy. Remedy emphasizes situational tuning instead of describing every Artifact as an unconditional stat increase, so the best set will depend on the chosen weapon forms and supernatural abilities.
The crafting loop begins with untapped Artifacts found in the world. Players craft them into usable Artifacts inside The Gap, connecting exploration rewards with the buildcrafting space rather than placing the whole system in a conventional equipment shop.
The official explanation answers slot-count and crafting-location questions but does not publish every Artifact name, rarity, recipe, or modifier range. Database expansion should wait for identified items with distinct verified effects rather than generate speculative item pages.
Key takeaways
- Three Artifact slots in the first run
- A fourth slot unlocks in New Game Plus
- Untapped Artifacts are crafted in The Gap
