WRENCH

The WRENCH is the main tool in ARK:Sinister.

It is a customizable utility tool used by the engineers aboard the ARK to perform a variety of actions. Each letter in WRENCH refers to an action that can be taken throughout the game.

W - Weld
The player will occasionally encounter breaches in the ships hull. Successfully welding them shut will allow the user access to the items and equipment found in that room. Unsuccessful welding will certainly lead to a character's death, by lack of oxygen or maybe even being sucked out into space!

R - Recharge
The play will be able to recharge powered down electronic devices found around the ARK. Spanning from potentially friendly robots to energy cells. The power to give power is in your hands, so use it wisely.

E - Extinguish
The WRENCH is an exceptional fire extinguisher, which is great because an unchecked fire in a spaceship is guaranteed to be a disaster. Spray CO2 and other flame quenching chemicals at fires to put them out before the heat or lack of oxygen put an end to your characters adventure, or at the very least destroys all the valuable loot in the room.

N - Neutralize
Occasionally systems get out of control and they need to be shut down. Though not originally intended to be a weapon, this function of the WRENCH certainly can be used aggressively to deactivate crazed killer robots or aliens made of pure energy. Take aim and fire the WRENCH at your enemies to eliminate them before they eliminate you.

C - Construct
Using a handy monitor and keypad installed in the WRENCH, the player is able to connect to the ARK Construction System, allowing the character to control the construction and placement of new rooms to explore. Build new rooms adjacent to previously explored rooms and then enter those new rooms to find what awaits you. Each room type and size will dictate what type of things can be found inside, so experiment with them all!

H - Hack
Throughout the ARK, small terminals can be found randomly distributed in the rooms. The player will be able to hack into these terminals by plugging in their WRENCH. Each terminal has a different small logic challenge or puzzle. Once completed, a reward will be given to the player.
