You can personalize weapons by purchasing and installing weapon upgrades. Technological weapon upgrades are called weapon modifications, while hybrid weapon upgrades are called weapon fusions. Weapon upgrades are installed into the upgrade slots on a weapon; one weapon upgrade occupies one weapon upgrade slot. The number of upgrade slots a specific weapon has is noted under that weapon’s description. You can install a weapon upgrade with the Install Upgrade activity, which takes 10 minutes to perform. Unlike many other types of equipment, weapon upgrades run on kinetic energy created by your body’s motion and don’t need external batteries. They function only when installed in a weapon you’re wielding.
Weapon Upgrades
Install Upgrade
Requirements You must use a repair toolkit.
You spend 10 minutes installing an upgrade into a suit of armor or weapon, placing it into an empty upgrade slot. You can also use this activity to uninstall an upgrade. You can’t install more upgrades than there are upgrade slots. Installing or uninstalling an upgrade requires using a repair toolkit with two hands.
Activating Weapon Upgrades
Most upgrades grant their benefits continually, so long as you’re wielding the weapon they’re installed in. Other weapon upgrades only produce effects when activated or during specific circumstances. Either case requires you to use the Activate an Item activity. Activating an Item works much like Casting a Spell, in that the activity takes a variable number of actions and can have different components depending on how you Activate the Item. This information appears in the upgrade’s Activate entry.
Limited Weapon Upgrades
Some weapon upgrades with special activations and abilities can be activated only a limited number of times each day, as detailed in the weapon upgrade description. This limitation is independent of any activation costs for the upgrade. The limit resets during your daily preparations. This constraint is inherent to the weapon upgrade, meaning that if an ability that can be used only once per day is activated, it will not refresh if the weapon upgrade is uninstalled and reinstalled, installed in another weapon, or if another creature attempts to activate the upgrade.
Weapon Upgrade Limitations
Some upgrades attach to or enhance a specific part of a weapon. A weapon can only have one such upgrade at a time. These upgrades will always be specified in the usage entry, such as “installed in a weapon (sight).”
