Augmentations in Mass Effect Andromeda are special optional components which can be added into a Blueprint when developing an item to customize it. They can grant various bonuses to Weapons and Armor or even change its basic functionality.
In Crafting, researching Augmentations grants you one copy of that augmentation and allows more to be found in the field. You can research and apply blueprints for augmentations the Tech Lab in the Nexus.
