Atomic Heart will test your skills against killer robots and mutants, and while you try to get past the levels you will need to get better at the game. Luckily, you can get plenty of upgrades and new weapons while exploring Facility 3826, and one of the earlier abilities you can claim is the SHOK ability. While this can help you out in the early game, you will quickly notice enemies getting tougher and more reliant on your attacks. In this guide, we will see the best Shok upgrades to equip in Atomic Heart.

Chain Lighting
When the ability strikes an enemy, it has a chance to bounce and pass over to any other enemy close by, creating a chain shock reaction.
Extended Topology
If you couple Chain Lighting with Extended Topology, you can hit an additional target during the chain reaction.
Full Contact
Any secondary enemy hit by the chain lightning skill will receive full damage. While full damage is only reserved for the first target, under Full Contact you can damage the second target as well.
