How to unlock the Outlast Trials Short Circuit amp
Reach Therapy Level 40, open the amps menu with Dorris Ritter in the Sleep Room cafeteria and pay 2 vouchers. Dorris opens the amps menu once you reach Therapy Level 10. The vouchers guide lists how many vouchers each Therapy Level pays, and the Relapse guide explains how a permanent token keeps an amp after a Relapse resets your upgrades.
Short Circuit in a loadout
Tool amps change what your gear does. You can equip one tool amp, so Short Circuit competes with Slippers, Cacophony, Noise Reduction, Battery Charger. Key Master and Backpack unlock at the same level. Try your choice in the loadout builder to see the unlock level and voucher cost of the whole set, or read the best loadout guide for picks by playstyle.
