Description Edit

Weapon Upgrades allows the player to upgrade their weapons to help in combat, such as granting improved accuracy, larger magazines, increased damage, and unique effects such as the ability to pierce armor.

Upgrading weapons is generally expensive, but the cost can be lowered by 25% after completing the mission "http://deckers.die" and choosing the discount on weapon upgrades.

Some of the upgrades for the K-8 Krukov are a red dot sight, a grenade launcher and a 120 round belt magazine.^[1]

If a weapon is available which has not yet been obtained, it can be purchased from the upgrade menu directly. Once you upgrade a weapon, you can't remove any of the upgrades.
