When you aren’t using your special kits to repair things, put out fires, and jump around the Oldest House, you’ll be shooting hiss enemies using a variety of firearms. You acquire new weapons by just playing the game and completing jobs.
In their starting form, however, each weapon is pretty weak and unreliable. Here is how you can unlock and upgrade each weapon in FBC: Firebreak and improve your chances of survival at higher difficulties.
Upgrade Weapons in FBC Firebreak
To upgrade weapons in FBC: Firebreak, you need to collectLost Assetsduring jobs and use those to unlock higher-tier versions of weapons in theRequisitionpage.
You start with theRevolver,Submachine Gun, andDouble-Barrel Shotgun, but you’ll have to first unlock other weapons to upgrade them. Here is when you can unlock and upgrade each firearm in FBC: Firebreak:
You will continue seeing the Tier 1 version of a weapon in the later pages until you’ve unlocked it in the early pages. It’s a bit confusing, but not too complicated. I don’t recommend upgrading every weapon right away, and I recommend sticking with a few that you like.
Recommended Starting Weapons in FBC: Firebreak
From the three weapons given to you at the start, I recommend either sticking with theRevolveror theSubmachine Gun.
As you unlock more pages, I recommend switching to something a bit more powerful, like theMachine Gunor thePump-action shotgun. The bolt-action rifle doesn’t make a whole lot of sense in this game, and I’m surprised they even added it. Most of the firefights are pretty much in your face, and taking out distant enemies isn’t as useful.
I do wish that upgrading weapons wasn’t part of this battle-style requisition page, but it is what it is.
Hopefully, Remedy can streamline the process a bit, because it’s needlessly tedious and forces you to grind and unlock things you probably don’t want just so you’re able to reach the page with the upgrade you want.

When he isn’t spending an unhealthy amount of time in Slay the Spire, he’s probably trying out yet another retro-shooter or playing Dark Souls for the 50th time.
