Brainmap Guide: How to Learn Skills

This page contains all the skills that can be unlocked in Scarlet Nexus for the Playstation, XBOX, and Steam platforms. Read on to find out which skills you can use to defeat the Others!

What is the Brainmap?

The Brainmap is Scarlet Nexus' system of purchasing new skills for your chosen character. These skills branch out from several paths, and bring varying effects ranging from combat abilities to passive effects, and can be unlocked by using BP or Brain Points

Brainmap Branches

Using BP to Learn Skills

When hovering over a greyed out skill you wish to purchase, you will find below the skill description the amount of BP you'll need to spend in order to unlock the skill. You'll also find in this area the amount of BP you have left to spend on other skills.

How to Earn BP

Brain Points can be earned through levelling up. You can speed this process up by purposefully trying to get your Brain Drive to activate in order to get the precious EXP Bonuses it brings.

How to Expand Brainmap

Progress the Game

Progressing the game will naturally expand the Brainmap which will allow you to learn new skills. If you don't fancy any of the skills presented in your current brainmap, consider holding your BP to find new skills to learn!
