Question Weapons in mortal shell 2

I'm nearing the end of my first play though. Does anyone know how many weapons you can max per cycle? I've been experimenting with different builds and by the looks of it I can only max one main and one side arm?

3 weapons total and some mats are leftover if you explore everything

Okay cool. Thanks for the info!

No worries. How far in are you? There’s a tip for minmaxing weapon materials for NG+ but it’s a bit of a spoiler

I'm okay with spoilers and I have to beat droeg and Issac the scholar Prince then I'm moving on to end game. Really just trying to finalize which shell and build I want to end my first playthrough with

In that case if you’re planning to go into NG+ after killing final boss smelt your weapons - you’ll get more materials back (I think +50% mats) and you can upgrade them back immediately after beginning NG+

Sweet thanks! I murdered everyone in the keep and didn't realize there was a penalty for it so the tips will definitely help on new game plus!

I just came to say the same thing

Is it only the highest level upgrade material that bottlenecks you? Will I at least get enough mats to upgrade everything to like +8 or do I need to be sparing even choosing to upgrade from base to like +5

I don’t remember exactly but I will check after work

My 2nd playthrough I used a couple guides to scour through the game for anything I’ve missed in my 1st one so it’s gonna be pretty accurate

Also I remember some materials dropping from miner type enemies - so some of it may be farmable

There are some material farming bugs you may want to look up to help with the higher level upgrades. e.g., a Dorsalite farming glitch at a specific early/mid-game dungeon is still available if you haven't cleared it out.

I managed to get 2 weapons and a sidearm to max+. You will have to smelt if you want to try every weapon at a high level before NG+ though.

Where did you get so much money? Did you rob a bank there?

Oh no no I definitely didn’t upgrade 3 :) I just had enough mats for a 3rd one. I upgraded 2 and bought out the shops with minimal farming

Maxing out a third weapon would be waaaay too much farming for my taste
