Upgrading weapons in Remnant 2 is easier said than done. The process requires players to complete a few additional objectives. First and foremost, players need to complete the tutorial section. After clearing the main tutorial section, players can upgrade their weapons in Remnant 2 by following these simple steps:

  1. Head to the main hub in Remnant 2, referred to as Ward 13.
  2. Look for Dion Rigler in a warehouse next to World Stone.
  3. While Rigler is categorized as a merchant, he has nothing to sell. Players can hand over their weapons to Rigler to upgrade them.
  4. Players must also provide the required materials to upgrade weapons, such as Scrap and Iron.

As players upgrade their weapons, they will need to provide higher quality materials, which will cost more than standard materials. These materials include items such as:

  • Iron for +5 Weapon Rank
  • Forged Iron for +10 Weapon Rank
  • Galvanized Iron for +15 Weapon Rank
  • Hardened Iron for +19 Weapon Rank
  • Simulacrum for +20 Weapon Rank

Players can buy Iron from Cass or find it by looting chests. Additionally, players can buy Scrap from merchants for a reasonable price.

Upgrading Boss Weapons is no different from upgrading standard weapons. The only difference is that Boss Weapons max out at +10 Weapon Rank. Moreover, players must also provide Lumenite Crystals in addition to Iron and Scrap to upgrade Boss Weapons. While upgrading Boss Weapons requires a hefty investment in time and materials, it will be worth it considering the power they'll pack.

With the information provided above, players can finally utilize their favorite weapons to their fullest potential without discarding them for new ones just because they did not know how the upgrade mechanic worked in the first place.
