Access the Weapon Development at the Institute
Head to where you previously unlocked the Skill Tree, and talk to the researcher behind the desk to open up the Institute menu. Here, you will be able to access Weapon Development, as well as Magilumic Orb researching and the Skill Tree.
Spend Materials to Unlock Weapons
Developing new weapons costs a certain amount of Materials. You can check how much materials you have at the top right of the Weapon Development menu. Using a material to develop a weapon instantly makes it available in the Shop.
Note that you will need to increase your Weapon Development Rank to be able to unlock stronger weapons further up the development tree.
How to Earn Materials
Completing Missions and fulfilling the side objectives of every mission can sometimes reward you with materials for weapon development. Check out the rewards before attempting each mission to figure out what you need to do to earn the materials.

Purchase Weapons at the Shop
Developing weapons does not give you the weapon for free. After you've developed a weapon with materials, head to the Shop, where you can immediately spend Gold (Guld) to purchase the newly-developed weapons.
Increase Badge Rank to Craft Better Weapons
Complete Sub Quests to increase your Weapon Development Rank. Sub Quests are side missions you can take on from different characters. These do not contribute to your Main Quest progress but they often reward you with Blue Fox Badges, which help raise your Mercenary Unit Rank.
