Once you gather enough, players can use this resource to craft better suits, melee weapons, and ranged weapons. Typically, players will need to combine resources in order to craft items.

To use your various materials, you’ll want to open up the ‘Gear’ section of the Batcomputer menu and then tab over to ‘Crafting.’ Here, you can craft any new suits, melee or ranged weapons that you have the blueprint for.

Select the piece of gear you want to craft, and press and hold X (A on Xbox), to craft it. If you’re out and about around Gotham when you do this, the gear will go to the Belfry and you’ll have to end your patrol to equip it.
