Markdown versions of documentation pages are available by appending `.md` to page URLs; this page is available as [Markdown](https://shodo-veil.gitbook.io/whitepaper/the-game/equipment-and-upgrading.md). # Equipment & Upgrading Anything on this page is subject to change throughout the development progress of the game. We will thoroughly test and validate any feature before it goes live. Success in the game hinges on tactical brilliance and the strategic use of equipment. Weapons are divided into two primary types: Ranged Weapons (like pistols, assault rifles, and shotguns) and Close Combat Weapons (including Dagger, Batons, and Needles). Equipping weapons not only amps up damage but also opens the door to upgrades and fusing items in your arsenal. Upgrading enhances a weapon's stats, while fusing it with another of the same category boosts rarity and the upgrade limit. Beyond weapons, various other equipment—gloves, armor, boots, accessories, storage bags, and pets—come with unique stats that enhance your hero's abilities. Much like weapons, they follow the upgrade and fusion mechanism. There are five distinct equipment sets: Adventure, Police, Dancer, Assassin, and Robot. Bonus tip—having two items from the same set elevates your hero's stats. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://shodo-veil.gitbook.io/whitepaper/the-game/equipment-and-upgrading.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
