Some of these powerful Augments are available right from the start. But the entire arsenal of enthusiasts is not immediately accessible. To unlock the full set, you need to complete various challenges.
For example, some Augments may need you to interact with Bel’Veth Trials, while others may be related to mastering certain champions, exploring different maps, or excelling at particular playstyles. Overall, Swarm’s Augment system was designed to reward players for their skill and dedication, so players gradually expand their Augment collection as they explore more of the hit game mode.
