What to study

A reward choice that teaches its own vocabulary: the header explains artifacts in one sentence (held by crew, change the rules of combat, stackable per crewmate), and the hovered Berserker Drive tooltip defines its POWERDRIVE keyword inline instead of sending the player elsewhere. Note the genuine in-game occlusion: the open tooltip covers part of the second artifact's name and the rewards button behind it, which is how the tooltip behaves in play, not a defect in the frame. Frame at about 0:39 in the Jan 2023 Trailer (Steam). No trailer burn-in or captions visible.
