Buying Upgrades for the Skunk

[Blackdragonct]

hi,

Just curious if anyone can point me in the right direction to buy weapon upgrades for the skunk? every mechanic i come accross so far only sells lvl 1 weapons. i can find lvl 4 shields, engines and stuff but all weapons are lvl 1 so im curious if im missing something.

Thanks

There isn't a level for weapons. Sadly, there isn't a way to figure out what does more of what without trying it.

There are mk2's for each of the 4 weapons or 5 if you include the mining laser. Yes, there are only 4/5 weapons. I didn't see mk2 weapons of any type till I went to the third star system.

Well i downloaded a mod called the debug menu mod or something and it had a catagory where you could buy upgrades without visiting a station and it had options to lvl up your guns but i started a game without it and i have tried flying to a number of stations and still only lvl 1 guns so idk was hoping someone has figured it out.

I only started seeing higher level weapons (and only weapons) in free play mode. In Campaign mode, guns remained lvl 1 up to the point I stopped campaign mode (not due to bugs), but shields and other stuff have higher levels available during campaign.

The "higher level weapons" appeared right off the bat at the start zone during free play, at one of the stations I docked at and spoke to the Mechanic (not Arms Dealer).

Wrong, there's level 2 weapons unlocked straight away in Free Play.

Huh im in free mode and i only have lvl 1 weapons. every mechanic i speak to has only lvl 1 weapons for some reason. this save is from day one though so would the patches have anything to do with that? id rather not have to restart my game honestly.....

How many mechanics have you visited? And did you play the plot at all? I reached the prison ship capture mission before I started playing Free Play. Maybe that has something to do with it, no idea.

I have a plot game save but its bugged with the construction ship running away and not in my properties anymore so i cant progress. i started a free to play just because of that bug and i have talked to a ton of them. usually anytime i stop in a station to do something if i pass a mechanic i check.

Problem is in reputation... playing with settings in my save game file (free play) I lift my reputation to max... now I can buy mk2 weapons anywhere (plasma gun included)

Never did the plot, I went straight into free play. Only MKI and MKII weapons available.
