Tips for Upgrading Weapons

Declutter Your Inventory for Upgrade Materials

Due to the frequency of drops, the equipment in this game tends to get outdated fairly quickly. Take note of how much equipment you have and once you see the quantity rise, dismantle your weapons accordingly.

How to Select Multiple Items

When dismantling equipment to get materials, there's a big chance that you will want to dismantle numerous items in your inventory. You can select multiple items by holding down Triangle (for Playstation) or Y (for Xbox) and hold either up or down on your d-pad.
