Best Storm Gifts & Hangout Activities In Marvel’s Midnight Suns

Gift-giving is one of the best options to increase your Friendship level with characters, which can help you unlock exclusive items for the characters. These gifts can be given during a Hangout or completing a Haven activity which can grant you Friendship XP for the character gifted.

This all depends on the type of gift and that Hero's preferences as not all gifts are created equally as you can lose XP if you give them the wrong or disliked gift, especially for X-Men member Storm. We've detailed the best gifts, Hangout, and Haven activities for Storm in Marvel's Midnight Suns.

What Are The Best Gifts To Give Storm In Midnight Suns?

After completing the "Hard Knock Life" Story Mission and having unlocked Storm as a playable character, you can begin increasing your Friendship Level with the X-Men member. Increasing your friendship with her can be done by completing a Daily Sparring session, selecting her for General and Story Missions, inviting her to a Haven, offering her compliments, completing a Hangout, and through gifts.

There are a few ways to acquire gifts, as you must have reached Team Friendship Level 2, which unlocks the Gift Shop, located outside the entrance to the Hellfire Forge. Here, various gifts can be found at the Gift Shop, which can be purchased using Gloss, or you can craft gifts using multiple reagents and other items using Agatha's Cauldron at the Library.
