PRAGMATA Wiki

Move as Hugh, manage space before you commit

Hugh handles aiming, firearms, dodging, and suit-based mobility. His thrusters also matter outside combat, helping you zip through the lunar facility and reach new paths.

• Third-person combat built around constant movement
• Suit thrusters support traversal and repositioning
• Both combat and exploration begin from Hugh's movement

Hack enemies with Diana to break their defenses

Most enemy bots are armored, so raw gunfire is not enough by itself. Diana brings up a grid-style hacking panel that lets you weaken or open enemy defenses in real time.

• Connecting more blue squares increases hacking effect
• Successful hacks disable armor and expose weak points
• Known node examples include Decode and Multi-Hack

Convert the hack into damage with the right weapon

Once enemies are opened up, Hugh cashes in with firearms. Some shields must be shot first, some missiles can be hacked back, and your weapon choice changes the pace of each fight.

• Primary, Attack, Defense, and Tactical weapon roles
• Red barrier enemies must be opened by gunfire first
• Incoming missiles can be redirected with a successful hack

Use station hacks, upgrades, and Shelter downtime to build your style

Diana can unlock doors and clear blocked routes, while upgrade stations and the Shelter let players improve Hugh's gear, expand hacking options, and shape their preferred playstyle.

• Diana hacks security systems to open progression routes
• Upgrade stations improve weapons, stats, and hacking tools
• Shelter acts as a recovery and progression hub between pushes

Lock on and trigger Diana's Hacking Panel

When Hugh locks onto an enemy, Diana opens a grid-based panel. Drawing one continuous line through blue squares completes the hack.

• A successful hack deals damage and temporarily compromises enemy armor
• Longer paths increase damage and keep armor disabled longer
• Grid connects in sequence — plan your path before committing

Punish exposed weak points with Hugh's weapons

Once Diana exposes the target, Hugh switches from setup to damage. The combat loop rewards turning a clean hack into immediate firearm pressure.

• Hugh uses multiple gun types suited to different scenarios
• The Primary Unit is the constant fallback weapon
• Tactical and Attack options are meant for combo play and burst finishes

Read enemy counterplay before committing

Hacking is never free. Some enemies pressure you while the panel is open, forcing you to choose between a better hack or a quick dodge.

• Red shield barriers block Diana's hacking entirely
• Those shields must be broken first with Hugh's gun
• Some homing missiles can be hacked and redirected back at enemies

Use specialized weapons for tactical control

Different weapons support different phases of the encounter and make the hack window safer or more rewarding.

• Tactical Unit can pin enemies down during setup
• Attack Unit excels at close-range finishing damage
• Defense Unit can lure enemies away and create breathing room

Boost hacks with Hacking Nodes

If Diana is carrying a Hacking Node, yellow tiles appear on the panel. Connecting them activates extra effects and adds more tactical options to each successful hack.

• Decode lowers enemy defense for easier follow-up
• Multi-Hack spreads the effect to nearby targets simultaneously
• Each activation consumes one Hacking Node

Return to the Shelter to upgrade the loop

The Shelter is the recovery and upgrade hub. It lets you heal, spend gathered Lunafilament, and improve both combat tools and hacking efficiency.

• Upgrade weapons and expand your Hacking Node options
• Carry more nodes for greater flexibility in fights
• Unlock abilities like Critical Down for knockdown follow-ups

Use Hugh's Thrusters to Move Fast

Hugh's suit lets him zip through the facility with thruster-assisted movement, making mobility a core part of exploration instead of a passive walk between fights.

Let Diana Hack the Station

Diana does not only hack enemies. She can also break into the station's security systems to unlock doors and clear blocked paths forward.

Read the Station as a Multi-Layered Space

The facility is structured to reward movement, path opening, and revisiting routes with better tools rather than simple corridor progression.

Unlock Escape Hatches Along the Way

Escape Hatches become key route anchors as you explore. They connect your outward progress back to the Shelter once they are unlocked.

Return via the Tram

From the Shelter, the Tram lets Hugh and Diana travel back toward unlocked Escape Hatches, turning exploration into a broader hub-and-spoke loop across the station.

Stay Ready for Enemy Bots

Even when the station feels empty, hostile bots remain part of the traversal rhythm, so movement, pathing, and combat readiness stay tightly linked.
