Get An Edge on Your Enemy with Contraband Equipment

Contraband Equipment has arrived on the battlefield, bringing new strategies and stats to your base. For players of Game of War and Mobile Strike, the roar of CORESSSSS blew across the land. Today we will explore what Contraband Equipment is, and divulge the secret recipes current core sets.

What is Contraband Equipment?

Contraband equipment are timed pieces of gear. They are made by combining Cores and Augment materials. Once crafted, you only use them when you’re ready! They last four hours, and it’s essential you don’t pop them too soon…

How do I make Contraband Equipment?

First things first. You must complete the “Manufacturing” research tree. It is short, but you can’t craft them without it. The costs for the tree are shown below;

Once you have completed the research, head to the Armory. You will most likely need to combine materials first. Obviously, the best Contraband pieces will be crafted by using level 6 Cores and Augments.

Once you have done this tap the “Manufacture Contraband Equipment” tab. You will be brought to a screen with two tabs; Core Materials and Augment Materials. Each piece of Contraband Equipment requires one (1) Core Material and six (6) Augment Materials. Each Core and Augment material has its own stats that add together as you craft. Note that each Core and Augment gives a range of stats. Your finished product will land somewhere in that range.

First, choose your Core. There is one for each type of equipment. Note that you will need to craft three Accessories of course.

Next, you want to choose your Augment Materials. There are two ways to go about this.

• You have Specific stats in mind and want to craft your own custom piece of Equipment.
• You want to use the secret recipes which give extra stats but require a specific pairing of materials.

Each Augment Material has specific stats that they add to the mixture. If you’re crafting a custom core, an easy way to see how these stats are stacking up is to tap the top of the screen. It will show the “Potential Bonus Range”, and will reflect what Core and Augments you have selected.

Once you are satisfied with the potential Contraband piece, hit “Instant Manufacture” or “Manufacture”.

Contraband Sets

Currently, there are four Contraband sets, and they  focus on Control Point and Base Stats. Below are charts with the stat range for each set.

Secret Recipes

As mentioned previously, you can build your own Contraband Sets, or you can utilize the secret recipes which give extra stats. However, they’re secret right? Not anymore! Below are the secret recipes for current Contraband Sets.

Note the order of Augments doesn’t seem to matter, but to be sure always look for this empty space to pop up on your screen. This means you’ve hit the “secret recipe”. If you don’t see this, you aren’t making the “secret”.

Once crafted, you will see the extra stats from the secret recipe in green with + bonus.

Using Contraband Equipment

Once you have crafted all your pieces of equipment, embed them with emblems. Once the timer runs out they will be returned to you. Do not wear your Contraband until you’re ready to use it, as they run on a timer!
