To create a customized weapon, select CRAFT NEW WEAPON from the Weapon Crafting menu at
the Bench. When frame options appear, choose what type you want. A Compact frame creates a
one-handed weapon, while a Heavy Frame creates a two-handed weapon.
TOOLS
Every gun has an Upper Tool and a Lower Tool, so it can deal two different types of damage. This
makes you a more versatile fighter, ready for all situations and enemies at any range.
After selecting a frame, choose an Upper Tool from the new menu. This is your primary fire. The
next screen you see serves as a customization menu. Below Upper Tool, select LOWER TOOL to
choose your alternate fire option. You can also choose a melee Tool here, in case enemies
get too close.
TIPS
Tips modify the firing based on the Tools you choose for your gun, so these options do not
become available until you’ve selected your Tools. For instance, if your Upper Tool is a Plasma
Core, your Upper Tip options let you select exactly how you want to blast enemies with kinetic or
charged energy.
Pay attention to changes to damage, reload, clip, and speed on the lower right-hand side of the
screen, which vary by Tip. Each Tip also has a range and accuracy rating, so you can customize
your weapon to your combat strengths and weaknesses.
