Weapon upgrade

[Lateralus]

How exactly does this work? I had the basic starting gear and upgraded them, it said that I need money and resources to upgrade. So I did that, then for next upgrade it wants a different set of resources and more money.
What I dont understand is that I then bought other weapons but they seem to require the same higher resources, not the basic ones from lvl1.
Whats even more confusing is, that the panel with the resources is showing that I dont have all the required ones, and yet some of the new weapons I can upgrade to lvl2, some dont. But all of them require the same stuff.

Is this completely broken in the UI or what?

I've never found the UI broken; perhaps you can be more specific what problem with what weapon you face.

Check the wiki for all the information about items needed for crafting

It's something like this

Resources that I need are needed for upgrade:
Copper ore 99/5 (OK)
Stretched coil 1/3 (missing 2)
Pyrite 17/5 (OK)
These resources are apparently required for all weapons right now, no matter which weapon I select the resource count is the same.

These are the weapons for instance:
Beastbane (lvl 1) 2500g - cant upgrade
Ancient overlord (lvl 1) 2500g - cant upgrade
Viruous contract (lvl 2) 5000g - can upgrade

Seems like the UI Is not always updating on a specific weapon, Sometimes it shows different resources.

You need to complete quests and loot chests. The more rare materials can be bought by specific people, like the scientist near Pascal´s village.

Also, from nastier enemies.

In your case you only need the 2 coils, all rest is ok.

Finally you aren´t meant to upgrade weapons ASAP, but instead choosing one or two and focus on them. I like spears and gauntlets.

You cannot upgrade Beastbane to level 2 because you're missing stretched coil.

Ancient Overload requires a different set of mats: rusted clump, broken circuit, warped wire.

If you can upgrade Virtuous Contract from level 2 to 3 means you have numbers for titanium alloy, dented plate,severed cable, and amber.

Perhaps your UI is wrongfully demanding the same set of mats regardless of weapon. I suggest you refer to the wiki to work out what exact mats to obtain.

I think I know which dilemma you're talking about. I assume you're using keyboard/mouse too?

If you cycle through list of upgrades using either arrow keys (or mouse scroll) instead of moving around your mouse it should display correctly.

Exactly

Ah, a KBM issue? I used gamepad controller right from the start and never had to rely on "standard" input to encounter this problem.
