Singularity Hints

What weapon upgrades are the most important?

  • 1 of 6: Every weapon can have its clip size, reload time, and damage upgraded. Increased clip size and decreased reload times are nice, but the increased damage is usually the best thing to go for. (Though increased clip size can also be very useful for early shotgun use.)
  • 2 of 6: The first weapon you'll get is the pistol, but it's very weak and inaccurate. I advise you to save your first weapon upgrades for use in upgrading the assault rifle and shotgun after you get them.
  • 3 of 6: The shotgun will doubtless be a big favorite throughout the game, so fully upgrade its damage and clip size as soon as possible.
  • 4 of 6: The assault rifle is frequently useful during the early parts of the game, but should be replaced by the autocannon later on. Due to that, it's best to upgrade the assault rifle's damage with your first weapon tech item, and then focus on upgrading the shotgun.
  • 5 of 6: When you get the autocannon, start spending weapon tech items on its damage upgrades right away, then spend some on its clip size.
  • 6 of 6: The only other weapon that I found it useful to upgrade was the sniper rifle. It can score one-shot kills on most weaker enemies without any upgrades, but it can be of tremendous use in certain combats once upgraded. For instance, try to upgrade its damage and clip size at least once each before the big boss combat at the end of the Rail Line section of the game.
