Hello Robocrafters!
A massive update has just gone live to Robocraft! The team have been working on a new feature which will provide greater progression across all weapon types! That feature is called Weapon Ranking!
Weapon Ranking
Any time you deal damage with a weapon or heal with nano's you will be earning XP for that weapon. Earn enough XP and you'll be able to upgrade that guns power with the help of Crays giant robot claw!
There are currently thirty weapons to upgrade, each of which have ten levels to progress though. You can read more about the weapon upgrade system by clicking the link below:
