The Slime Rancher franchise is known for everything from its beautiful world filled with colorful environments to the wide variety of Slimes that can be bred and nurtured. Though Slimes are adorable little creatures, they can be a real annoyance in larger groups, especially for more violent types such as Boom and Crystal Slimes that deal damage upon contact. In this case, Ranchers will want to build the Pulse Wave equipment upgrade, allowing them to blast pesky Slimes away in an instant.
In order to upgrade Beatrix’s equipment, players will need to gather an assortment of components including Slime Plorts, Newbucks, and other resources acquired throughout Rainbow Island. Players can get an early start on crafting upgrades like the Pulse Wave since upgrading in Slime Rancher 2 is available within The Lab at the player’s home base, The Conservatory.
