How to upgrade Weapon Modules in Outcast

If you’re just starting in action RPG Outcast things can be a little confusing, with all kinds of currencies and upgrades to manage. One great way to go early is to upgrade your weapon modules in Outcast, so read on for my guide on how to do so below. 

Outcast A New Beginning - How to upgrade weapon modules

Once you start taking down some droids and bases in Outcast: A New Beginning, you’ll begin to amass Nano-Cells. Nana Cells are a resource that allows you to improve all kinds of technical gear, but early on you’ll be encouraged to use them in the Combat Upgrade menu. If you’re going down the ranged combat route, I’d suggest you take Module Upgrade I immediately.

While nothing in-game tells you this, taking module Upgrade allows you to spend these Nano-Cells in a different part of the menu. Click across to the Weapon section of the menu and highlight any of your favorite weapon modules. Each has three levels, and by hovering over one of the modules and holding down X (see bottom right, above) you can now upgrade this module to level 2. 

For example, upgrading Concussive Shot increases damage from 40-60 percent, and ups DPS from 22-24. Later, you can take Module Upgrade II in the Combat Upgrade menu, allowing you to take your favorite upgrades up to level 3. If you’ve fallen in love with a particular module this is worth doing. 

How to add more modules to weapons in Outcast

While on the Weapon screen, note the locks at the bottom-middle of the screen of the pistol and rifle screens (above). You can also spend your Nan-Cells here to equip multiple upgrades to both weapons, which can then be upgraded. Why waste Nano-Cells on shields when you can maximize your damage output and use items to heal?
