How Atomic Heart Skills Work

Atomic Heart Skills can either unlock new abilities for P-3 or enhance existing abilities. You can only purchase Skills at the Nora station where you can also Craft Weapons, Ammo, and  more. Skills require Neuropolymer, a resource that drops off of most enemies in the game.

You can only have two active Skills equipped at any one time, so it’s best to focus on two activated Skills. Shok gets a dedicated button, so you will always have that ability available. It’s a good idea to work your way towards the Shok Cooldown bonus as soon as you can — you’ll need Shok for many puzzles and it will save you a lot of time that would otherwise be spent sitting around waiting for Shok to recharge.

Much like Crafting, you’re also able to refund your Skills and get back 100% of the resources you invested into them. Atomic Heart encourages experimentation and you should take advantage of that fact. Big boss fight coming up? Respec your skills to get some extra health. Got to fight a bunch of enemies soon? Power up one of your offensive Skills to hit them hard. Play around with the Skills until you find two that you like!

How to Get Neuropolymer in Atomic Heart

There are two ways to get Neuropolymer in Atomic Heart:

  1. Kill certain enemies.
  2. Loot it from chests.

Aside from Neuropolymer, all enemies drop Crafting materials. Don’t recklessly charge into every fight, but you shouldn’t let enemies get away, either — every defeated enemy makes you just a little bit stronger thanks to the Crafting materials and Neuropolymer they drop!

What is the Best Skill in Atomic Heart?

The best Skill in Atomic Heart depends on your situation. If you prefer to use guns instead of special abilities, you should invest in Character and Energy Management to make the most of the passive upgrades. If you prefer to go on the offensive instead, you should try out each of the offensive Skills a bit and see what works best for you. Remember, you can always refund Skills and get back all of your Neuropolymer if you don’t like them!
