How Do I upgrade weapons, make new weapons, add modules etc

[Aphaia]

I enjoy all aspects of this game but I am not tech minded. I dont understand the weapon tutorials on youtube and stuck with a level 1 weapon that is constantly leveling but I dont understand how to do anything else weapon wise. So i am stuck even to upgrade the amount of bullets the cartridges can hold. Can someone please direct me to a place or help explain it really simply to me, as i cant read the screen and understand the tech.

I'm doing this off memory and I only played for like 2 hrs so far so bare with me

U open ur menu (i) i think. Then you click the gun you want to swap, change it to the highest level version of the gun you have. Then, you go back out to your i menu. Next to the gun there is a tiny little ... tab like

you can click that to slide out the upgrade panel thing, then you drag the upgrades from the bottom to the top. for example magazine size or fire rate.

I hope this helped I dont know for sure if thats the issue you were having. As for crafting and such dunno didnt try it yet

Okay this is my current situation and current confusion.

1 weapon says 1 but down the bottom says level 7, others say 10 at the top but profiency level 1 at the bottom. But some are even rare weapons.
2 Different color reactors
3 auxillary power
4 vanguard sensor
5 vanguard memory
6 support memory

7 Then the youtube video goes on about phase enhancers but when you go to her you have 4 choices of phase enhancers and 4 choices of precision phase enhancers but yuou cant do any of that if you wanted to as you have to have super alloys.

8 Then when you open your weapon your suppose to add modules which i dont understand the screen, I think if you have them they are down the bottom and you can add or remove them up top.

9 Next you have the ability to keep the weapon or rip apart them for parts which i cant do either.

I am like WTF, i know i am not tech minded but this is a maze. I really dont understand any of the above......pulease help..........LOL

Just use the recommended option on the right of the equipment menu, just like the TUTORIAL popups tells you, until you played a bit and get a sense of wat is going on ;)

Thats the issue, it says I am level 21 or something and mastery level 4 and I still have no idea what I am doing weapon wise. I can play around skill wise, but defensive against the vulgar is hard if i cant change my weapons up.......

3. i think its the amount of power you can use in 8(modules). For example maybe you have 10 aux power, and 2 modules, 1 takes 5 power and the other takes 6. You could only equip one or the other because if you did both it would total 11 aux power.

8 is correct. Thats the screen I was talking about.

9, I think you can just use J to mark them as junk. Look at the bottom of screen for mark as junk and another button to dismantle junk or something. I'm not sure this is the right way to do it but this is what I do mid mission when i have 20 ♥♥♥♥♥♥ guns and need room.

The rest I dunno about yet. I think the issue is that even though i know what you're talking about the game uses "complex" wording for simple stuff to make it more technical or sci-fi. Its not really complex but its just unusual idk how to word it. Anytways have faith, youll figure it out. With your earlier guns dont be afraid to try stuff out, the worst thing that will happen is youll lose it so just use some random gun thats worse than the one you have to experiment on.

I think that the modules are all per gun type for example some guns use purple ammo some use green, those "types" of gun each have their own module set, as far as I can tell. So it may seem confusing but its just tied to the gun type and not the specific gun you're modifying (for module stuff explicitly)

anyways good luck its not as complicated as it seems but it's just hard to explain and read because muh complex scifi mmo

for what i noticed those levels, the top left level is the level the gun dropped at, so can range from 1 to XX (dont know max level in game) The proficiency level is basically u leveling up ur experience using the gun. The top left level also increases the ATK and stats of the gun, not sure if the proficiency levels do it too.

To basically get better guns u just play, if u don't wanna lose a gun u like very much u can use a higher level gun and 'fuse' them togheter making ur low level but liked gun into a higher level and so higher ATK and stats gun.

Play the quests (not main quests) and u get the quests to actually do it trough the descendant instructor npc in Albion.

Edit: Posted too fast.

2) the different color reactors are reactors for set skills, like the red ones (also little flame icon in the reactor) are better for Lepic (maybe others) with is fire skills, The blue ones with the electric bolts in it are then again better for bunny (or others) as they enhance elecric skills.

3,4,5,6) the are besically small boost on HP / shield / DEF, while from purple and up they also give little boosts, for example i have a golden HP support auxiliary power, does 76+ max HP, DBNO duration x0.128 and Kuiper shards drop rate increase modifier with 0.057x. as i said, very small boosts. there are also full sets with sets effects.

7) i believe u can scrap weapons and get super alloy from them, open inventory, hover over the junk weapons u really dont care about, press J so a little icon comes on it, after doing that to all guns u wanna get rid of hold CRTL and they will scrap in superalloy and liquid metal.

8) correct, top right u can see 'module capacity' basically how many power capacity ur weapon has, the numbers on top of the modules represent the power they use, cant go over the capacity of the gun.

9) as said in 7 how u can recycle guns to get superalloy, liquid metal, same goes for reactors u want to get rid off. go to recators, press j to mark as junk, hold CTRL, they give solenoids and superconductor cores.

This game is a looter shooter. Enemies drop new weapons, equip the good new weapons and... Profit. Do you really have no idea how to equip new weapons?

Just click on the slot you wanna change and in the next window click and drag whatever item over the slot you wanna switch from. On a controller (PlayStation) hit X and then press Square.

I would recommend use a controller. That would be... Best for you.
