Some of these powerful Augments are available right from the start. But the entire arsenal of buffs isn’t immediately accessible. To unlock the complete set, you must complete various challenges.

For example, some Augments may need you to interact with Bel’Veth Trials, while others could be tied to mastering certain champions, exploring different maps, or excelling in particular playstyles. Overall, Swarm’s Augment system was designed to reward players for their versatility and dedication, so players gradually expand their Augment collection as they explore more of the hit game mode.
