Cyberpunk 2077 Item Upgrading Guide
The upgrading of your item is an essential component to maximizing the potential of your gear. It allows you to add additional bonus stats over the value of your basic item.

Each upgrade template comes with set options that can be configured via the GUI. These options include upgrading reference as well as chances of upgrading.
Upgrade components
The method of upgrading weapons, armor and other equipment in Cyberpunk 2077 was redesigned as part of the 2.0 update. Upgrade components are scattered throughout Night City. The item you'd like to upgrade should also include an upgrade slot. When you select an item to upgrade, the game will show an overview of what the expected stats will be following upgrading, and the component or material needed. If you do not have the necessary level of material or component needed to upgrade the item, then the button will say "Blocked."
The items that can be upgraded include weapons and armor as well as a few trinkets and gathering tools. The upgrade slots on each of these items can be filled with various upgrades that provide attribute bonuses or other effects while the equipment is being used. These upgrades are available by crafting, purchased from a vendor, or taken from the loot.
There are two types of upgrade components such as universal upgrades and gems. Universal upgrades that are similar to gemstones can be used in any type of equipment, and provide an inferior bonus than other types of upgrade components. These are easy to obtain because they are dropped by enemies and taken from loot bins across the globe. Gems are, however, can be gained by disassembling items or completing specific tasks.
Upgrades can be removed and replaced with new ones that fit in the slot of the weapon. However this will cause the destruction of any prior upgrades. Except for glyphs, which may be placed into gathering tools, other upgrades are not able to be salvaged or removed once they are placed in an item. Infusions, which can be placed into ascended equipment as well as legendary equipment, and enrichments that can only be recovered with an upgrade extractor, or by salvaging the item using the highest-quality salvage kit, can be replaced once per hour.
Recycled items
In the last two world wars, shortages of natural resources pushed the world to embrace recycling. Nowadays, it is commonplace to recycle aluminum, paper and plastic, giving them new life as something new. Recycling saves energy and keeps carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. Recycling is a great way to avoid landfills while also conserving natural resources. It is important to be aware of what can be reused.
People often make the mistake of putting the wrong items in the recycling bin. These items will not only contaminate recycling equipment, but also end up in the stream. To avoid this, read the label and adhere to the rules of your recycling program. Cardboard should never be mixed with steel cans. Tissue must be disposed of. Plastic bags also tangle in recycling machinery and should be disposed of at an upscale grocery store for reuse. Containers for food and berries are also items that can be disposed of. The only exception to this is glass which can be used as a building material.
When shopping for new items it is important to look for the label "Made using recycled materials." This means that the item is made of recycled materials from products that have already served their purpose. This makes them a more green option than new items made from virgin materials. These materials are also cheaper than the original ones.
You can recycle your old computer, tablet, or phone by taking it to a recycling center. They will reuse this material to make new electronics and useful products. You could even earn money from some of these companies by donating the old ones.
If you want to help your coworkers to recycle, consider standardizing the colors of the bins and signs in your office. This will help reduce confusion and increase participation rates. Additionally, ensure that you have a designated area for recycling in your office, such as a centralized bin or a box in the break room.
Reroll tokens
Reroll tokens give you another chance at rolling the dice to gain better stats or more powerful abilities. These tokens can be found in the mistery boxes, as rare drops from skulled creatures or bosses. Each token strips an attribute point from damage and then rolls it into a different attribute. You can also roll additional attributes on items, such as regeneration and speed.
The amount of additional items that are added to an item changes with each level. The value of an extra is calculated as a percentage of the total stats of the item. Rerolling a token could change this value. Additionally, the item's recycle value also rises with every upgrade. The value of the item's main stat increases by a factor of 3 every time it's upgraded, however the value of the extras can be different.
Click the dice icon next to the item in your inventory to roll it. You can also hit the button on a lobby of a player, and then select "Reroll". After rerolling the item, it will disappear from your collection.
You can purchase rerolls and other in-game items from Sagbe, an in-game Token Shop trader. Redeeming active codes will also enable you to get free rerolls in Fire Force Online. These codes can be used to redeem many items that include Reroll Tokens and Clan Reroll Tokens.
These rerolls can be useful at the beginning of the game, when you are building up your inventory. However, they're not the best method to improve your character's stats. Instead, upgrade item should focus on getting more skill points. Additionally, you can earn bonus points by completing the event levels.
You can also change your character's race using a race reroll token, that can be purchased from the Zen Market. The token can be used by certain pack purchases, or the Token Shop. It allows you to change your character's race only once. It can also be redeemed as a reward when you complete Meg's cases during the Port Sarim invasion event.
Leveling
The attributes of an item and its Power Level will increase when you upgrade an item as part of an upgrade process. It also increases the cost and the amount of materials required to complete the upgrade. The kind of materials needed is dependent on the type of item. For example, weapons use the combination of Destruction Stones and Guardian Stones. Armor is made up of Harmony Leapstones, Shards and other materials. The addition of additional materials to the process may increase the chances of success, but this is not a guarantee.
The process of leveling is calculated using a formula that determines the amount of damage and magic attack (magic weapons), and defense the upgraded item will receive when it is upgraded to the next level. The formulas vary based on the weapon type and rarity. Additionally, there is a maximum level for each type of gear.
The NPC will display an Upgrade option after the item reaches the maximum level. This enables players to upgrade the item to the next level by infusing it with experience. To make the most of this process, it is essential to ensure that their gear is at its maximum level before upgrading. They can save time and money by not using up materials or time that could have been used for other upgrades.
The NPC will display two lines when the upgrade is taking place. The first line displays the amount of Tech Points will be gained by upgrading the item, while the second displays an image of the upgraded appearance. The preview won't be exact for items that have mods, but it can provide a rough idea of what is to be expected.
The NPC will display the price to upgrade the item. The cost of Technology Points will be included when applicable. It will also include the price of an Accelerator if you have one. Accelerators can be purchased through the Exchange and can increase the amount of Tech Points earned by upgrading by 50%. However this bonus does not affect the item's Quality Chance which is resets once the item reaches its target level.
The Upgrade NPC also offers the option of transferring gear. The Upgrade NPC can also offer a service for gear transfer. This allows players to save their experience and progress on a piece and transfer it to another item that is in the same slot. This can be useful for players who wish to change their gear, but don't have enough currency to buy a brand new set.
