# Shelter The Shelter serves as the safe house and central hub for every player in Ascend the End, where the metagame intricacies come to life. From the Shelter, players engage in trading, crafting gear, farming credits, and selecting their next challenges. As players progress, they can upgrade various segments of their Shelter, including Exo suits for enhanced combat capabilities, weapons and items for increased firepower and utility, farming for resource generation, and intel to access new challenges and traders. This customizable base is integral to the player’s journey, offering a personalized space to strategize and prepare for the battles ahead. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
