Balance Essence for the run and your Talents
Soul Essence can fund a revive during a run, while banked Essence buys permanent Talents. Once Reincarnation is unlocked, its blessings and enhanced vendors add more temporary uses for the same resource.
Gunfire Reborn runs reward weapons, Occult Scrolls and Soul Essence through procedural stages, Vault side rooms and boss encounters. Permanent Talents use banked Essence, while Reincarnation adds temporary blessings and enhanced vendors. Seasonal modes change the reward loop and should be checked separately in the current menu.

Soul Essence can fund a revive during a run, while banked Essence buys permanent Talents. Once Reincarnation is unlocked, its blessings and enhanced vendors add more temporary uses for the same resource.
Spend Soul Essence on the Exploration Talent to open cracked walls, then clear the Vault’s challenge for its reward chest. These side rooms add loot, but the Talent is the access gate.
The update notes say repeated Anxi Desert clears can make the Act 2 alternate ruins available, but the route is not guaranteed. Check the stage choices when you enter Act 2.
Start with the full-clear progression gate and persistent Essence, then prioritize Reincarnation and repeatable Adventure routes before optional collection milestones and season replay goals.
