Try To Reach The Abyss Upgrade Planner & Tools

The Tools Hub helps you plan upgrade spending in Try To Reach The Abyss before you commit currency earned from outpost OUT loops. You do not need a spreadsheet app—use the checklists below, then cross-check ranks on the Tier List and multiplayer roles on Players. Giant Leviathan’s loop is simple on paper (farm Speed → upgrade → Research Data → evolve every 5 levels → go deeper) but easy to mis-spend when sea monsters spike mid-run.

How to use this upgrade planner

1. Note your level and next evolution — evolutions land on 5, 10, 15, 20, 25…. Write the next breakpoint on a sticky or chat pin.
2. Count liquid upgrade currency — only plan spends you can afford after one farm cycle so you are not stuck half-upgraded underwater.
3. Pick the phase column — Early / Mid / Late from the tables below.
4. Assign a primary and secondary — Primary gets ~60% of the next purse; secondary ~30%; flex ~10%.
5. Bank Research Data goals — mark which ability unlock you want before the next depth push.
6. Re-plan after each evolution — forms change; your last plan may undervalue Hull.

Phase planner tables

Early (levels 1–10)

Slot	Pick	Notes
Primary	Speed	Shorten OUT loops
Secondary	Hull	Survive first spikes
Flex	Torpedoes	Only if a route is blocked
Before evolve @5 / @10	Keep 1 Hull buffer	Do not evolve paper-thin

Mid (levels 11–25)

Slot	Pick	Notes
Primary	Hull	Monster pressure rises
Secondary	Speed	Income still fuels everything
Flex	Torpedoes	Team DPS if lobby is full
Research Data	Survival / mobility first	Skip cosmetics

Late (26+)

Slot	Pick	Notes
Primary	Torpedoes or Hull	Choose based on wipe cause
Secondary	The other of Torpedoes / Hull	Keep both near S-tier
Flex	Speed	Every third spend
Party note	Specialize	Couriers vs Gunners—see Players

Decision tree (solo)

• Dying to pressure or collisions → next spend Hull
• Clearing fights but broke on time → next spend Speed
• Outposts safe but monsters soft-lock the path → next spend Torpedoes
• About to hit a multiple of 5 → finish a Hull tick, evolve, then reassess

Party planner (up to 12 players)

Before the dive, each player claims a lane:

• Courier budget: Speed primary
• Shield budget: Hull primary
• Gunner budget: Torpedoes primary

Pin the claims in chat so twelve people do not all dump into Speed and wipe to the first elite pack. After a mid-November-style balance patch, re-open this page and the Updates Hub together.

Session checklist (copy/paste)

Level: __  Next evolve: __
Purse after farm: __
Primary spend: Speed / Hull / Torpedoes
Secondary spend: __
Research Data target: __
Depth goal this session: __
Lobby roles claimed: Courier __ / Shield __ / Gunner __

Fill it on the surface, farm one outpost cycle, spend, then dive. Resist impulse buys mid-panic—surface first when the UI allows.

Why planning beats impulse upgrades

Each mis-spent tick delays the next evolution breakpoint and wastes outpost time. A thirty-second plan on this Tools Hub often saves multiple failed deep attempts. Treat the tables as living defaults: if a patch nerfs Torpedo damage or buffs Speed gains, swap your primary without rewriting your whole brain—just edit the sticky and go.

Plan the purse, evolve on time, and let every OUT step fund the abyss run you actually intended.
