Weapon Enhancement - Merchant

Weapon upgrades can be done through the Tune-Up section at the Merchant's shop. It is recommended to prioritize upgrading frequently used weapons. Upgrading unused weapons would be meaningless. Additionally, upgrading weapons requires money, so try to earn money by selling treasures or defeating enemies.

Upgrades cannot be undone

Weapon Enhancement - Selling Price

Once a weapon is upgraded, its level cannot be lowered. However, the amount of money used for the modification will be added to the selling price of the weapon. Therefore, by selling the weapon, it is possible to efficiently upgrade a new weapon.

Maximum upgrade level increases up to 5 from Chapter 9

Recommended Weapon Upgrades

You can upgrade to a maximum of 5 starting from Chapter 9. Although the cost of upgrades will be higher than before, by upgrading all weapons to the maximum level, exclusive perks can also be unlocked. Therefore, prioritize upgrading frequently used weapons.

Weapons can be modified with weapon parts. By combining parts with weapons from the attaché case, you can improve the performance and add new functions to your weapons. Custom parts can be obtained by picking them up in the field, purchasing them from merchants, or exchanging them with Spinel.
