Earth Day might be all about our planet… but that won’t stop us from celebrating while aboard Talos I. In honor of the global holiday, we took a moment to tidy up our orbiting space station, recycling anything and everything we could find, then using the handy Recycler Charge to clean up some more. From trash to treasures to Typhon aliens, we’re going green in the most awesome way imaginable.
“You can recycle almost anything in Prey,” says Creative Director Raphael Colantonio. Once you break down items (and enemies) into their component parts, you can use the raw materials to fabricate new items – everything from essentials like ammo and medkits to exotic gear like the Artax Propulsion System and the Neuromods themselves – provided you have the appropriate fabrication plan.
Of course, you can also use the Recycler Charge to clear a room and create even more raw materials – but be careful. “It’s a prototype device, so it’s not safe to use,” warns Lead Designer Ricardo Bare. “You can end up recycling something important. Or even yourself.” It’s worth the risk, though, because the Recycler Charge isn’t just a great way to clear a room – and possibly reveal some new pathways through Talos I – but also a powerful weapon.
“When there’s no Recycler nearby, you can bring the Recycler Charge into a room, toss your items together and throw your Recycler Charge in there,” Colantonio says. “That’s why the TranStar engineers created this device. But obviously using it as a weapon is more fun.” Just jam it onto a Typhon and step back to a safe distance as your foe implodes, delivering a bounty of raw materials for all your crafting needs.
Happy Earth Day from Morgan Yu and the team at Arkane Studios! Get ready to recycle, reuse… and repel the Typhon threat when Prey releases May 5 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.

About
Fight overwhelming odds to escape a secret TranStar moon base where the enemies you encounter, the hazards you face, the goals you complete, and the loot you collect are different each time you play. With changing environments as dangerous as they are dynamic, the Mooncrash campaign for Prey will offer a fun, infinitely replayable challenge to test even the most skilled players.
Story
In Prey: Mooncrash, TranStar’s secret moon base stopped transmitting shortly after the events of Prey. Now Peter, a hacker stationed aboard a spy satellite tasked with intercepting TranStar communications, must find out why. Trapped and under a ruthless contract with KASMA Corp, Peter’s only hope of ever seeing his family again is uncovering the moon base’s lost secrets.
Live. Die. Adapt. Escape! – Escape TranStar’s moon base before the Typhon threat takes over. A simple goal, but one with hundreds of viable solutions. In Mooncrash, players will experience an all-new, infinitely replayable, ‘rogue-lite’ campaign with ever-changing enemies, weapons and objectives against a constantly increasing alien threat.
Survive How You Want with Who You Want – Unlock multiple characters as you play, each with their own set of specialized, upgradable skills. Will you forge your path with the resourceful engineer Joan, trade that wrench in for Security Officer Bhatia and his shotgun, or will you choose the frail-but-gifted Andrius and his arsenal of psychic abilities? Prey is about choices, and those choices belong to you.
Search for Secrets, Loot…and a Way Off – Arkane Studios’ talent for detail and story-rich environments comes alive in Mooncrash. As you explore the station, which is the same size and scope of four levels of the original game’s Talos I station, don’t forget to keep your eyes peeled for precious supplies – and, of course, Mimics.
New Challenges, New Solutions – The Typhon threat has returned with familiar foes and tough new enemies, each armed with a unique set of deadly characteristics. Use the full power of the arsenal at your disposal, including popular weapons and abilities from Prey’s main game, to fight for your life and make a mad dash for your escape.
