In Challenge mode, Omega weapons can be bought for all fully upgraded V5 ones and can be further leveled up to V10. Levelling up weapons through combat will increase their damage and unlock more cells at the vendors, allowing more additional Raritanium upgrades to be made. Like in many previous games, weapons can be upgraded up to level five in which they will change form. Zurkon's vendors, Ratchet and Rivet can purchase new weapons, ammo and use their collected Raritanium to apply upgrades to their weapons. Between planets there are seamless transitions, with no load screens. Rift Apart features both entirely new planets, as well as alternate dimensions of planets from previous games. It retains elements of previous Ratchet & Clank games, involving gunplay, collection of bolts, upgradable weapons and gadgets. The gameplay of Rift Apart allows the player to play both as Ratchet and Rivet, although they both play identically, sharing weapons and gadgets.
