Upgrades

Upgrades improve the equipment that the protagonist takes with them on missions. Upgrades can be purchased from Piero Joplin in Dishonored, the black market in The Knife of Dunwall and The Brigmore Witches and from black market shops in Dishonored 2 and Death of the Outsider.
Upgrades are significantly different from Dishonored 2 onwards. The black market shops have many upgrades already available, and display all as blueprints, meaning what looks like an upgrade could in fact just be ammunition. Dishonored 2 also included Masterwork upgrades. Each pair of Masterwork upgrades is mutually exclusive, but can give the equipment it is applied to a massive boost.
All upgrades are described further on the appropriate page.
