Corrupted Upgrades

Corrupted UPs
Full name	Corrupted Upgrade Protocol
Mode	Infinity's Edge
Given by	Symera
Price	Free
Types	11

Corrupted Upgrades (Corrupted UPs) are special Upgrade Protocols in Infinity's Edge. Each one has a strong benefit and a downside. The popup title reads "Corrupted UP:" followed by the name.

They are not the same as Corruptions, which are negative powers.

How to get them

• Symera offers one Corrupted UP in the reward area of every Glitched Challenge Room, on the top right.
• It costs nothing. The downside is the price.
• She only offers types you have not collected yet in this run. Once you own all 11, she has nothing left to offer.
• All 11 types are available from the start; none needs an unlock.

List

The benefit is shown in green in the game, the downside in red.

Corrupted UP	Benefit	Downside
Corrupted Bond	+1 corrupted selector drops, +1 shop slots, +1 teleport rewards, no teleport damage	1.5x corruption duration

Cursed Ammunition	+60% weapon damage	Missed shots deal 1 damage to you
Reckless Overdrive	+30% speed, +40% fire rate, +20% dodge	Take 2x collision damage

Notes

• Corrupted Bond: the bonuses apply to corrupted selectors, Corrupt Shops and Corrupt Teleport rooms. The longer corruption duration applies to all Corruptions you pick up.
• Blood Oath does nothing on pickup. At the start of every later level (boss levels included) it adds +20% damage and -10% max HP.
• Debt Collector gives the 4,096 shards once, when you pick it up. Shard gain bonuses (for example the Golden UP High Stakes) apply to that amount. At the start of every new level it takes 1,024 shards; if you have fewer, you lose 10% max HP instead.
• Leaky Siphon: the Glitch Bomb at the end of each dodge uses one of your own Glitch Charges. It only fires while you have at least one.
