How To Upgrade Weapons In Atomfall

by

In the thrilling world of Atomfall, I’ve come to notice that ranged weapons aren’t quite as potent as their counterparts hidden throughout the Quarantine Zone. Though firearms can certainly deliver a powerful blow, it’s often essential to land a headshot for them to inflict significant damage.

Indeed, it can be challenging due to the inaccuracy caused by the natural sway and recoil of each gun. However, you can enhance your long-range performance in Atomfall with some strategic skills. Moreover, there’s a less-known feature that enables you to upgrade your weapons within the game as well.

How to upgrade weapons in Atomfall

You won’t be able to use the weapon upgrade system as soon as the game begins; instead, it’s likely to take you a few hours or more before you can get to it.

In Atomfall, you can enhance weapons only after acquiring a particular skill named “Gunsmith.” This skill is located at the top of the middle section in the Survival skill tree. To access it, navigate to your inventory, then click on the “Skills” menu. Initially, that column might appear greyed out, but once you progress through the game, it should become accessible.

You require this particular manual, the Master Crafting Manual, to master the three skills listed in the middle column. You can obtain this manual by completing quests from NPCs or discovering it as loot in the world of Atomfall. Interestingly, there are a couple of ways to acquire the specific Survival Training Manual needed to gain the Gunsmith skill.

Ways to get the Master Crafting Manual

Murder in the Church

To obtain the Master Crafting Manual, you’ll need to complete the ‘Murder in the Church’ investigation located in Wyndham Village. You can access Wyndham Village by heading north to Slatten Dale.

During the final stages of your quest, accepting a bribe from Morris Wick will earn you the Master Crafting Manual. This manual is crucial for learning the Gunsmith skill. However, we won’t delve deeper into the details, as it might ruin the quest experience for you. If you opt for Morris’ bribe and choose neither the Vicar nor Protocol, he’ll hand over this valuable manual to you.

Interchange Data Store D

Another way to phrase this could be: To obtain the Master Crafting Manual, venture to the heart of Atomfall’s storyline, The Interchange. There are various paths to reach The Interchange, given its central role in the narrative. Once you gain access, search for Data Store D which is positioned on the northwest side of The Interchange. It stands across from Data Store C near the entrances to Wyndham Village and Casterfell Woods.

The most convenient method to reach Data Store D is through the Wyndham Village gateway connected to the Interchange. This entrypoint in the village is situated at the power station close to St. Katherine’s Church on the east side. Be advised that this power station is guarded by Protocol soldiers, but you may choose to eliminate or evade them to gain access through the station entrance and enter the Interchange.

Alternatively, you can access Data Store D from the CPU room in the Interchange. No matter your route, once you’ve reached the building’s lower level, place an Atomic Battery within the processing unit on the second floor. This will activate the room. Then, proceed to the basement where the servers are flooded, and there’s electricity flowing through the water.

Move up to the floor above the flooded section, then leap onto the server racks positioned above the water level. Your goal is a junction box located on the opposite wall. Use your Signal Redirector there to cut off the power, which in turn will open a door on the left side of the flooded area. Once opened, you can access the Master Crafting Manual resting on a table inside.

Here are two known methods for obtaining the Master Crafting Manual, but it’s possible that additional strategies remain undiscovered within Atomfall.

After acquiring the Master Crafting Manual, navigate to your Skills interface and invest in the Gunsmith skill. It’s going to set you back seven Training Stimulants, which can be pricey. However, the expense is justified by the benefit it provides: weapon upgrades become crucial in numerous tough battles towards the game’s end.

Using the weapon upgrade system in Atomfall

After learning the Gunsmith skill, you can now access the upgrade system from the menu in Atomfall.

Here at this menu, you can view all the varied weapons within the game. It’s advantageous to concentrate on the weapons you’re currently using, since upgrading them will directly enhance your gaming experience.

Clicking on a weapon’s icon located on the left side of the upgrade menu will display the resources required for upgrading that particular weapon. Typically, Gun Oil, Scrap, and some of the same type of weapons are needed. For instance, in the screenshot provided, two Rusty Leamington 12-Gauge Shotguns are required to craft a new Leamington 12 Gauge Shotgun (Stock). As you continue upgrading, more and more of the same weapon will be needed for crafting.

In the game Atomfall, enhancing weapons essentially involves making them function better by improving their state. For instance, if you begin with a run-down gun, upgrading it once will boost its status to “Standard,” enhancing its performance. You can continue upgrading your weapon until it reaches its maximum potential, which is “Pristine.” Keep in mind that each upgrade requires progressively more resources, so it’s essential to always be on the lookout for Gun Oil and Scrap whenever you come across them in Atomfall.

Upgrading the weapon system won’t turn your weapons into unbeatable forces against opponents in Atomfall, but it does make them more manageable, which is valuable in a challenging game like this one.
