Pax Autocratica Weapon Cores and Core Fragments: How They Work

Quick answer

Weapon Cores and Core Fragments are part of the combat-growth systems. Weapon Cores reshape how a gun handles, while other cores interact with troops or combine across series.

How to find cores

Cores are collected during expeditions, so running combat is the main path to acquiring them.

Each run can return Weapon Cores, Core Fragments and other core types.

What cores do

Weapon Cores can reshape a weapon's handling and fire mode.

Combination cores link effects across weapon series, and other cores can strengthen soldiers or be spent as sacrifices for growth.

Core fragments and growth

Core Fragments support upgrading and combining, letting you build toward specific loadouts.

The full core list, drop sources, rates and optimal allocations are still being discovered by the community, so treat current findings as Early Access work in progress.
