Emblems are modifiers that a player can enable for an entire run. After beating a program, the player can try it again with emblems equipped. This adds difficulty and variety, while giving +5% gold reward per difficulty level added. New emblems are unlocked by beating programs with higher added difficulty levels, and the game stores your personal high score (highest difficulty level completed) for each program.

Initially, only 1 emblem can be equipped at a time. Completing a program with all emblem slots full unlocks another emblem slot, to a maximum of 5 simultaneous emblems. This is most easily achieved when using the least difficult emblems available. The highest possible difficulty is 28 with known emblems, but the max is expected to be 30, if there is a fifth difficulty 6 emblem among those yet to be discovered.

Once an emblem is unlocked, it can be used in all programs. Emblems from Crucible/Frontline can also be unlocked by beating that difficulty level in a harder program.
