The Equipment Enhancement System in Undawn Explained

The equipment crafting system in Undawn has been a huge hit with our players. In fact, it is not unheard of for folks to stay logged in until they have managed to put the rare weapon materials they have collected that day to use. However, you should know that grinding your way through the system isn't the only way to raise your battle power in the game. Weapon creating is an important art as well!

**Accessories**

The firearms accessories system is also worthy of the player's time and attention. Not only do firearms accessories provide a boost to your character's stats, the scope you use also has a direct impact on the appearance of your weapon.

**1. How they work**

In the game, Accessories are items that can be used to enhance your Main Weapon, up to six at a time. Various accessories make your weapon more powerful in different ways. For instance, equipping a grip increases the weapon's ability to penetrate armor, while adding a weapon stock enhances your character's skill strength.

Currently in the game, to create a firearms accessory, you only have to gather the requisite materials and then head to the workbench in your homestead. When you switch to another weapon, whichever firearms accessories you have equipped will also automatically be transferred to the new weapon. You should note, however, that apart from the Main Weapon there is also the Heavy Weapon, which you can craft once you get to Lv. 30. There are also Heavy Weapon Accessories, up to four of which can be equipped at any one time.

In addition, firearms accessories can also be leveled up using blueprints of the corresponding level. These blueprints can be obtained from daily events or from the Chamber of Commerce using Gold vouchers. Do note also that once a firearms accessory has been leveled up to Lv. 6 any further leveling up would require also the use of the Accessory Manual.

**2. How to Obtain Accessories**

To obtain a firearms accessory, first open up the Craft Weapons interface, then look for "Accessories." Currently in the game, the materials needed for accessory creation can all be purchased from the Shop with modest amounts of Silver. This means that firearms accessories are not difficult to obtain at all.

**Weapon Enhancement**

Unlike with accessories, Enhancement works with all equipment, including Melee Weapons and Armor. It is a fairly straightforward mechanic—all the player has to do is to acquire the necessary materials, then tap Enhance. The effect of enhancement depends on the part that is being enhanced. For instance, enhancing your Main Weapon will increase its damage intensity, while enhancing your Melee Weapon will raise your character's skill strength. All Enhancement performed is also automatically carried over with no penalty when you switch equipment.

Apart from Silver, a certain amount of reinforcement coating is also needed every time you enhance your equipment. Reinforcement coating can be obtained from daily events or from the Chamber of Commerce using Supply Cards. However, you should know that there is a daily redemption limit at the Chamber of Commerce, and also, that prices are determined by market demand. As Supply Cards are also quite hard to come by, you will have to decide if redemption is the right route for you.

**Armor Inserts**

Unlike firearms accessories, armor inserts can only be used with six kinds of armor. They can be found in the lower part of the Accessories section in the Equipment interface.

In the game, up to three armor inserts may be equipped onto a piece of armor. Insert slots are unlocked as the armor is leveled up. Armor inserts are also body part-specific. For example, the Head Armor Insert can only be used for the head. Attribute boosts also differ from part to part. While equipping a Head Armor Insert will enhance protection for the head and one's resistance to critical head hits, equipping an armor insert for the hand will enhance the character's skill strength and torso armor.

Armor inserts can also be leveled up by fusing two inserts of the same kind into a higher-grade insert. At the same time, the sum of the whole is greater than the individual parts combined when it comes to armor insert sets. For example, a character with a set of five Lv. 1 inserts will receive a +1 set reinforcement bonus. Currently in the game, there are set bonuses for max HP, defense, and max armor, etc.

Armor inserts can be obtained by taking part in Stronghold Patrols or from the Chamber of Commerce. Just like with the other enhancement items available, whether to use Supply Cards for armor inserts is something you should carefully consider.

**Conclusion**

Apart from the three aforementioned equipment enhancement pathways, there is also the Polish system, which unlocks when the player reaches Lv. 30. We will take a closer look at the Polish system another time. Undoubtedly, these three pathways call for a good number of Supply Cards. Therefore, you should pay particular attention to collecting these cards during gameplay. That, and a good dose of patience, will be needed as you work on molding and developing your character!
