Murphy, also known as the Mechanic, is a shop in which players can trade specific items for upgraded (usually better) ones. You can visit him once you have amassed at least 3 relics. Murphy restocks at 8PM GMT (3PM EST)
His daily stock can have anywhere from 4-6 random upgradable items, however use of the Mechanic Cap allows this to be bypassed.
Murphy’s upgrades take time, and you must wait anywhere between 6-14 hours depending on the item being upgraded before pickup. Additionally, Leaders can pick up your Mechanic item for you when rescuing. This is tracked in a separate stat.
After upgrading items 10 times, you unlock Murphy Points, which you can sign up for in the Terminal. These are detailed below the next table.
Here is a list of all upgradable items. Note that despite some items upgrading into the same upgraded item, only one of these offers can appear on a given day.
