Techs

Techs are enhancements that can be equipped by characters to enhance movement and provide new abilities. While it has been a staple in the vanilla game, Frackin' Universe adds more techs to the game and upgrades old ones that were previously available. Whether it'd go from becoming airborne to explode in a fiery blaze, or using drugs to stimulate your character's speed, many new techs are available for you to choose from! In order to apply these techs, find Vinalisj and finish the Introduction quest line. Elliot's 3 quests at the Outpost tech station will grant you additional techs. You can talk to Elliot to change your FU techs or use your Personal Tricorder. You can craft them at your Tricorder or at the Outpost.

Head Techs

Techs that are applied to the Head slot usually revolve around the Distortion Sphere, a form that allows for the player to fit into smaller spaces they were not previously able to before.
