The enemies you face all have certain patterns and thus your progress will hinge on you gaining familiarity of these, so you can dodge and attack at the right time. That process of manually painting out a QR style code is enough to stop you doing it constantly. It is a good way of stopping you simply stocking up to cheese the game. These IR codes aren’t permanent though, as you need to enter a new code every time you want to take one of the items, as they are single-use. As simple as entering the code and equipping the item. ![]() You can enter in a QR style code that can give you bonuses, buffs, weapons and other things that can help or hinder you.
