How do I use weapon upgrades?

[Vejeta187]

Sorry to ask this but I skipped the tutorial and have completed the first mission, and I have acquired some weapon upgrades such as laser sight.

How do I use these upgrades on my weapons?

Do I have to progress the game further first or is there something im missing here?

Thanks.

You need modular thingy research first. Note that the tutorial, other than showing how easily it is to lose soldiers with bad moves, introduces the whole story.

You need to complete the Modular Weapons research project first, then enter your soldier's Armory page, click Weapon Upgrade, then click an open Upgrade slot and attach your desired upgrade.

Ok thanks a lot guys.

Note that the upgrades transfer to the newer weapons as you progress so there's no point in not upgrading early weapon types. I don't think the game makes this clear.

can you remove an upgrade on soldier 1s weapon and put it on soldier 2s weapon?

I would start a new campaign and just do the tutorial (its only 1 mission), so that you know the background story. It only takes 5 mins if you rush it. Then jump back into your original game.

Yes, the only thing that's single use are PCS implants.

on vanilla, you need a certain continent bonus to do so. Otherwise mods can be replaced, but are lost.

You can also move the entire weapon from one soldier to another soldier.

but yeah without ...lock and load I think you can't replace mods. but you get plenty of them and you can move the gun. they cost 20-30 intel for a superior version of most weapon mods check the black market after every supply drop.

Considering you can only put 2-3 in a gun its not hard to get things started.

Laser sights on your shotguns, scopes on everything else.

Sniper Rifles get expanded clips, Cannons/shotgun get autoloaders rifles get stocks.

usually.

if I get 3 parts the snipers/cannon/shotgung get a hair trigger, the rifles get repeaters.
