Matter Compiler Perks

The Anacrusis is a new co-op experience that has players playing through an episodic story, with a few different levels per episode. As players play, they'll encounter Matter Compilers, which offer perks to enhance weaponry, grenades, or healing. There's a number of perks available in the game, so we've created this The Anacrusis Perks Guide, as well as a The Anacrusis Weapons Guide that will tell you what perks work best with each weapon or piece of equipment!

What are The Anacrusis Matter Compilers?

You'll encounter these littered in the levels of The Anacrusis, and Matter Compilers will give you 3 randomized perks to choose from. These are worth your time to find!

Where to find Matter Compilers In Anacrusis?

The easiest way to find Matter Compilers in The Anacrusis, is to explore. There are some that have set spawns, but others that have different spawns for each load of a map. Check every nook, cranny, and door to find them all.

Each level in Anacrusis (multiple per episode) has a set number of Matter Compilers available to players, usually 2-4 in total. They emit a sound, so when you're near a Matter Compiler, you'll be able to find them a bit easier.

Check out the list of Matter Compiler perks you can find below:
