Amplified Weapons

Amplified Weapons are a set of weapons that can be upgraded to Level 5, unlocking Amplification slots that allow raiders to modify weapon functionality.

Requirements

To upgrade weapons to Level 5 and activate Amplifications, raiders must upgrade the following workshops:

• Gunsmith Level 4
• Research Station Level 4

Upgrading

Upgrading a weapon to Level 5 requires a specific Amplification Module matching the weapon's base rarity tier:

Rarity Tier	Required Upgrade Material
Common	Amplification Module Mk. I
Uncommon	Amplification Module Mk. II
Rare	Amplification Module Mk. III
Epic	Amplification Module Mk. IV
Legendary	Amplification Module Mk. V

Amplification Modules can be acquired from:

• the Fallen Emperor using an Emperor Gateway Conduit on Pendola Pass,
• the cargo inside the ARC Frigate during the ARC Frigate event.

Upon reaching Level 5, all weapons receive immediate stat enhancements:

• Every Level 5 Amplified Weapon gains +70 Max Durability.
• Most weapons also gain baseline improvements upon reaching Level 5, such as increased fire rate, reduced reload times, higher bullet velocity, or improved dispersion recovery.

Repairing

Repairing Level 5 weapons require Amplified Fragments. Repair buffs acquired from expeditions are percentage based, so Level 5 weapons greatly benefit from it.

Knocked out raiders drop amplified weapons with their durability reduced to 10%.

System Mechanics

Once a weapon reaches Level 5, players can select and activate available Amplifications. Once an Amplification is activated, it cannot be removed or changed.

Certain amplifications may be unavailable:

• until the corresponding Amplified Research is completed in the Research Station,
• until prior amplifications are activated first (e.g., Charged Burst requires Increased Burst),
• because another amplification conflicts with it (e.g., Burst-Fire locks out Full-Auto).
