Where is the upgrade weapons system from the first Helldivers?

[Heroine Nisa]

I miss it.

[Oobaneko]

On the way to be developed by genius Super Earth scientists!

[Crocal'Bator]

don't care, we can't upgrade caus we can't get reward.

[Chaos]

Gone, replaced by "battle passs"...kinda.

[Cryptic]

I miss that system too

[ZoolanderrrZA]

maybe its a feature that will be added later, a few parts in the ship thats stil under contruction

[BuLLeT.ZA]

I would also prefer that system. I also miss having to do certain campaigns or planets to unlock specific items.

It would also have been nice if the armor had been divided up further.

I thought it was a bummer to lose the upgrade system at first. But at the same time, it's not like the system in Helldivers 1 was particularly deep or allowed you to customize your weapons. If they simply included some of the strength of the upgrades into the base weapons in Helldivers 2, I think it's fine to ditch the upgrade system.

[Valinov]

samples are hard enough with the cost of ship upgrades

[Bad_Lieutenant]

There's an 'under construction' area of your ship with a rifle on it, which I'm guessing will be an upgrades bench.

Would love some deeper customisation of weapons.

That's the ship module upgrades.

[Nihil]

For the record. That upgrade system in Helldivers 1 was so basic and boring that it was utterly pointless.
Yeah such fun farming for samples just to put a checkmark in a box next to a weapon to give it a small buff without having an actual decision to make what to upgrade.

But on the other hand it would be great if this game could have some upgrade system for weapons. At least visually.

aren't the "under construction parts" just parts where you haven't bought the "stratagem upgrades"
Quotation marks because it's disappointing.
