How do you stop the "upgrades" from ruining your game?

[Petrichor]

Like seriously? What a stupid idea. I have a perfectly good weapon set up and everything is great, then I get a weapon "upgrade" that totally ruins my weapon and makes the entire run fail. Why is there no option to refuse them?

Colored evolutions (red, blue, green, gold and purple) are by design different; sometimes incredibly powerful, sometimes hiding their potential with a certain build, sometimes extremely niche meme-tier horrible. It depends on the weapon and the modifiers you pick with it. Discovering and experiencing even the worst of the evolutions is part of the game's charm imo.

If you don't want to evolve your weapon into any of the colored forms, you can evolve it into a "mixed" form by picking at least two different colored passives eg. 2x blue 1x red. Three different colors work too ofc.

All of the mixed evolutions are a stronger version of the base weapon, so they won't ruin your playstyle. I'd still recommend discovering and trying out some colored evolutions though, because they're much more powerful than the mixed evolution while keeping the base weapon's playstyle intact.

The problem is that if you are maxed on weapons and don't have a weapon to evolve, chests will reward you with relics, which can screw up your build. If I'm trying to focus on making a weapon a spread weapon and a chest rewards me with the relic that forces everything into a single bullet, that sucks.

Not sure if that's what OP is referring to or not.

you are aware those relics can be refused right? or maybe thats a statue upgrade?

the whole point of the games weapon system is to try all teh upgrades and see which ones you want by the end....
if you dont have ALL 3 PASSIVE UPGRADES OF THE SAME COLOR/ELEMENT you will always get the "default" super weapon form. so dont be afraid to abuse re rolls

[Eizen]

also with the update that just dropped you can cancel an upgrade if you dont get what you want, losing a level but not locking you out of your evo
