VDM Gear

Uhh... What?
VDM, or Vertical Dimensional Maneuver Gear, is used to launch cables, which will drag your character forward. Maybe one day full-dive Virtual Reality will allow you to really fly, but for now you will be able to maneuver through the maze of a city, fighting titans on your phone or tablet. Still, you will find it hard to get bored of flying around the giant trees. You can always find joy in flying, no matter how faint.

Alright, how do they work?
Well, that's a good question. Simple. Face a wall, tap a surface, and move forward. Your gas will quickly deplete, but how else do you move? Fun fact: Even when out of gas, you can still leap up walls. It is true that you can jump without gas, even if the gas shows, it's just jumping. They are also used to preform powerful attacks by latching onto the Titans' feet or necks. With a fast reaction, you might be able to quickly attack the feet again and again by circling around, then reattaching to attack mid air. It might be possible.

How Do I Upgrade Them?
Simple. There is a shop to the left side. It may seem hidden, but it's not too hard to reach. Once you go to the left, the usual orange circle will be there. Walking into it will allow you to access the VDM shop. Once inside, the mechanic girl will be there and she can upgrade your gear. You might think you have enough, but chances are you walk up to it only to be shell-shocked when you see the check. It requires a massive amount of Obsidian, Silver, and Crystals. 23 Obsidian is used for only the first upgrade to the A-12. Each upgrade will still upgrade the performance and allow you to fly further, faster, and longer.

Why Do I Need One?
How else are you going to slash the neck? Plus, anchoring your wires in the legs conserves blades for damage. Flying is a lot faster than walking and also allows for quick maneuvers to get behind titans. Why else do you need an excuse to fly?
