Wondering who the best alters are in The Alters? If you've unlocked the Quantum Computer and the Womb, you're able to make new alters. You'll be needing them, too, as you'll soon find yourself overwhelmed by tasks that need doing, from mining deposits to making sure everyone's fed, so here are all the best alters in the game.


To get more alters, you need to increase the number of slots by upgrading your Qubit Level by finding Qubit Chip locations. You start off in The Alters with the Technician, but there are different levels of alters available as you progress through areas. It's also worth noting that not all the alters can be unlocked in a single playthrough, so choose wisely.
