When do the shops upgrade?

[bookwormbabe29]

I've read the shops in dragonfall eventually upgrade, but I can't find much information on it. Do they upgrade once, twice? After so many missions? I am running a rigger/decker and I don't have a drone yet, which is a bit of a problem. The one thing I can find is 'don't buy the starting stuff' but can't tell when the starting stuff upgrades. A little help would be appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Shops upgrade every 2 missions or so. Whenever your team got upgrades, there will be shop upgrade. However, the final shop upgrade will only happen at the very end when only 2 main missions left (after you have to defuse bombs in the sewers). If you play as rigger, that's bad news for you - you have to save money and wait until very end of the game before you can buy 2 S class drones, otherwise you won't have enough money for those drones. You also need Drone Control 9 to make those drones useful, otherwise their accuracy will be low.

Buying these 2 drones require 8000 nuyen (4000 each), but I'd suggest sticking with 2 attacks drones (so rank S and rank A). But I don't totally agree with your statement: I was saving (a lot), but I was still able buy the attacks drones as they came (I simply didn't buy support drones). On top of that, I was playing Decker.

By the end of the game, I had way above 20000 nuyen.

Otherwise, to give a little more detail about when the shops upgrade:
- The first upgrade happens when the weapon dealer tells you he's got a job for you. All shops will be upgraded. But if you do the dude's job, he's going to get another upgrade (if you bring back his stolen good).
- The second upgrade happens after you've paid Alice for the information and saved the Kreuzbasar from the attack.

Whenever I play Rigger, I always play Decker and nothing else. As such, I always have a lot of karma and nuyen left since I don't need to buy spell nor weapon. But then, my character is drone dependent.

That's unlike when I play a Decker Rifler. I'd usually save enough to be able to buy both the Ranger Arms and the Vulcan (and a few extra), so at least 10000 nuyen after paying Alice.
