You have to pick up a better variant of that weapon. So doing missions within that weapon level's range is the best way.

Try to launch the mission in a multiplayer lobby and the weapon level restriction the level has also represents the levels that will drop (so say it's a max weapon level 30 mission, you'll get drops from 10-30 or something along those lines).

At least that's what I have been told.

No. When you find a weapon, it has a random roll for each stat that has a star next to it. If a weapon you find has a higher random roll on a stat (3 stars instead of 1 for example) then it will replace that specific stat on the weapon you have in your inventory.

You need to keep finding the same weapon, and getting ones with high stat rolls, until all of your stats are maxed out (represented by filled stars).

It's like they said; find what missions can drop the level of the weapon you wish to upgrade, then keep getting green boxes from those missions. Upgrading a weapon is really this simple, but requires time and patience.

Simple explanations aside, here is how it works, to my knowledge: Every time you receive a green weapon box, a random weapon for you to gain is selected within a set level range, depending on the mission and difficulty. Not only is that weapon random, but its stats are random too. If a weapon has a stat that is higher than the same stat of a weapon you have, that modified part of the weapon will be used to upgrade yours. In short, there's a chance you'll find the weapon you want to upgrade, and another chance that it even has any better stats for you to gain from. You're essentially playing a lottery.

The more weapons you have within a mission's set level range, the less likely you will find a completely new weapon, because there are mathematically fewer ones left to find. Similarly, the higher the values of a weapon's stats are, the less likely you are to find better stats for it, because you again have mathematically fewer upgrades left to receive.

See the link below for the level of weapons drop on mission/difficulty
https://www65.atwiki.jp/edf5/pages/96.html
To upgrade the same weapons you have to play the mission that can drop the same weapon, each weapon have their own fixed level so check the link before farming

Whether you can get the upgrade or not is depend on the RNGesus, if you get an upgrade on the reward table, it will show the weapon with UP, you can also get the same weapon but without the UP so no upgrade for you
other thing to note: a white star is a max upgrade, a weapon with a white star is fully upgraded

So in short mission and difficulty take a big role on which weapon you will get on the reward table
Example: I want a ghost chaser lv 23 so I have to farm on mission 107+ on normal, if I farm the same stage on inferno I'll get weapons with level range from 73-95 and cannot upgrade the level 23 ghost chaser because it don't drop weapons below level 73

You gotta pray to RNGesus. I've been trying to get max stars for one of my weapons and while I've seen it drop dozens of times, it STILL WON'T GET THAT FINAL STAT TO UPGRADE. RAAAAA

He might have meant "gamble" in the sense that it is random, a matter of luck, in which case he would be correct.

However, there are some missions that drop very large numbers of loot boxes, and EDF5 seems to generally drop more loot than 4.1 did, likely to match the equipment upgrading.

Gambling isn't just a matter of luck, it's wagering and winning or losing something. It might be RNG, but calling it a gamble is simply incorrect. If he meant something else then he should have said it, but this ain't that.

Guy's got a crescent moon avatar and English obviously isn't his first language, but you're losing it because he used an incorrect word that still got the meaning he intended across.


I don't understand your end goal here.

Seeing as you're not involved in the exchange, do you need to? You could just stop jaywalking.
