The Crafting Menu displays all weapons and gear currently in your inventory.

Crafting options include Leveling, Improving Rarity, Exchanging Mods, Swapping Variants, and Raising Attributes.

Leveling Up

Leveling up increases the primary parameter (Firepower or Armor) of a given item. You can't raise the level of your equipment beyond the wearable item level cap indicated by your highest World Tier available.

Improving Rarity

Improving rarity also increases the primary parameter (Firepower or Armor) of a given item. You can only use it on Unusual and Rare equipment.

Exchanging Mods

Exchanging mods is the very heart of crafting. Only one slot can be modded and mods of the same name do not stack. To unlock a mod, dismantle a piece of equipment with that specific mod.

Rare equipment have 1 mod slot, while Epic and Legendary items have 2 mod slots.
