Where to upgrade weapons?

To make your weapons increasingly better, you must constantly upgrade them, and you can only do this at the Merchant. You will find him in many places on the map, usually appearing before or after more challenging fights. Interact with the man and select the Tune Up tab.

What is needed to upgrade weapons?

Besides having weapons in your inventory, you will also need to have a fair amount of cash, specifically Pesetas. The cost increases with subsequent upgrades.

It takes a lot of money to upgrade a weapon to its maximum value. However, if at this point you do not have the required amount, you can spend an Exclusive Upgrade Ticket. This will unlock the maximum level without spending Pesetas.

What to improve first?

Usually, weapons can be upgraded in several ways. These include Power, which is responsible for the damage inflicted, Ammo Capacity, which is the maximum capacity of the magazine. Then there's Reload Speed - the higher the level, the faster you'll reload your weapon, and Rate of Fire, which is self-explanatory.

As for the knife, you will see the Durability option. Upgrading this stat will make the knife deteriorate much slower. As for what statistic you should upgrade at the very beginning for melee weapons, focus on Power and Durability.

More damage dealt with a given shotgun or pistol will help you kill opponents faster and save a lot of ammunition. On the other hand, if the knife is more durable, you will strengthen your defense, e.g. by being able to parry more often.

Equipping weapon parts

Also remember that you can buy weapon accessories at the Merchant (or find them in later chapters). These are usually additional sights or recoil stabilizers. To equip them, you have to go to your inventory, select the accessory, select the Parts tab, and then connect it to the weapon that can use it.
