More About Food Buffs In Soul Hackers 2

Soul Hackers 2

After beating the tutorial boss, players will be able to buy and consume meals. One thing to keep in mind is that if the player leaves their Safehouse and go into the Overworld, the consumed food buffs will be triggered and will remain active for the duration of time spent in the Overworld. However, the player's boosts will vanish if they leave the Overworld.

Another thing to remember is the face icon of the character while selecting a meal in the Safehouse. This indicator represents how much the character enjoys the dish. Depending on how joyful the face icon is, greater buffs will be triggered.

Soul Hackers 2 is available on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
