Where to Use Chip Upgrades
Talk to Mackenzie to Upgrade Your Arm Cannon
When you get a new Elemental Chip, return to Mackenzie to turn it in. He will upgrade your Arm Cannon and to allow use of Shot weapons, upgrades that allow Samus to fire elemental projectiles at the cost of Shot ammo.
Shot Weapons Have a Charged and Super Upgrade
Shot Weapons obtained from Chips can be enhanced further by finding their Charged and Super upgrades found around Sol Valley and the four different biomes.
