we're gonna carry on with our simple
tips series today and in today's video
we're gonna cover
leveling up your schematics now don't
forget there will be loads of links in
the description which will help you out
all the way through your fortnight save
the world journey but today let's go
through and show you how to level up
your weapons and traps i have slowly
been trying to level up pretty much all
of my weapons and traps here but let's
just go ahead and try and find one we
haven't leveled up as of yet so let's
see i haven't got one of these now i'm
not saying that this is a great weapon
i'm not saying it's a fantastic weapon
and i'm not gonna sit here and tell you
which weapons you should upgrade
that is going to be entirely up to you
and your personal preference and play
style i'm going to level up this axle
just for the purpose of this video just
so we can show you how to level up your
schematics there are a few different
versions of schematics that you can have
and they will start off from your basic
level 1 gray schematics then you're
going to have level 4 greens level seven
blues
nine purple and twelve will be gold and
mythic and they are the base level for
those schematics of course your very end
game that you're gonna have is gonna be
130s and 144s but of course that is
going to be way down the line do not
worry about those in early game
so let's go on to our axle so if we
select the axle and go on upgrade
inspect this is going to give us our
upgrade screen
now on the right hand side you will
notice it's going to tell you how much
available xp you have got in order to
level that weapon we do require 300 xp
to level up this weapon first of all you
can now upgrade up to 10 levels in one
go it always used to be that you would
have to level up each individual level
all the way up to 130 and it did take a
heck of a long time doing so so they did
add in a brand new feature which would
enable us to level 10 levels at once
saving a whole load of time you can
just using your your selective buttons
here you can determine which levels you
want to go up and you can just do
individual levels if you wish
but it's just as easy just to do it from
10 so if we click on confirm level up
that is now going to put that onto our
next level schematic
once you've done that you'll need to
evolve that weapon before you can
actually upgrade it any further when you
evolve a weapon it's going to require
completely different materials in order
to do so for weapons you will need
weapon designs i don't have a vast
amount of these left because as i said
i've been leveling so much up
you're also going to need your evolution
materials and on the first evolution
that will be pure drops of rain
you can purchase pure drops of rain and
any evolution materials from the weekly
store you can get them from mission
rewards as well as you go through
as for weapon designs
you pretty much only get those really
from recycling unwanted weapons and you
will get a certain amount of weapon
designs for recycling
schematic xp you will be able to get
quite easily as you play your normal
missions and games so you'll be able to
get those really easy
so next up then it says confirm
evolution so we're going to click on
that and that will evolve that into a
two-star weapon which is the next level
up so then we can go ahead now and level
up this weapon even further so we're
going to go and do that that will then
put it up to a level 51
and we want to evolve this weapon now
onto a three-star weapon
so on here you will notice now that we
also need lightning in a bottle in order
to evolve this weapon further
as you evolve each weapon up you are
going to require different materials in
order to craft the different levels of
weapon materials that are required will
be shown on the left hand side so you'll
always know what materials you are going
to need when you upgrade to each star
level
so let us evolve this and this will then
make it into a level 61 three-star
weapon
now we can go ahead and level this up
again
and it's gonna give us the next
evolution into a four-star weapon
when you get on to changing it from a
three-star to a four-star weapon you
will get the opportunity to either set
that weapon as an obsidian
or a shadow shard
it is gonna be personal preference
i would definitely look at both of the
stats available because you will get
different stats and different changes
depending on whether you go for obsidian
or shadow shard
and you'll probably notice that on
obsidian it will give you a decent
amount of damage decent amount of impact
and pretty much a decent attack speed
and durability whereas if you go for a
shadow shot you will get a much better
damage a much better impact but it's
going to give you a slightly worse
durability and attack speed
so again it is going to be personal
preference most people for majority of
weapons is always going to be shadow
shot
the only exception that you will have if
you are leveling up a explosive weapon
you will not get the option to choose
between the two it will always be
obsidian
just for you to note so i'm going to set
this as a shadow shard melee and i'm
going to evolve this now before i evolve
this weapon
you will note at the bottom corner we
now need
eye of the storm as well as the previous
materials in order to put this up on the
next one again i a storm get that from
weekly store get that from your
emissions as you play
so let's evolve this it will give you a
confirmation screen
do make sure that you pay attention to
this because once you have done it you
cannot go back and change that weapon
the only way that you would be able to
change it to obsidian would be to
recycle get rid of it and start again so
make sure you do check that before you
actually go ahead and confirm
once you do confirm that is then going
to evolve it into a four star weapon
so then you can level it up a little bit
further
now from here from a four star to a five
star if i go to evolve this further then
i'm going to be able to get it up to a
130 now for this evolution it's going to
change to a sunbeam weapon
and you're going to need additional
evolution materials in order to level
this further but if i want to confirm
this evolution then this is going to
take it up to a 5 star which is a 116
and then i can just go and level that up
to a 130.
and one thing a lot of people do forget
about when you do actually want to go
and craft yourself a weapon then you do
actually now have the option of down
crafting so it always used to be a
problem if ever you
upgraded a weapon too far and you didn't
have the resources for it you were kind
of screwed you couldn't do anything you
couldn't make that weapon and you you
were knackered but now we have the
option of down crafting so you can down
craft that weapon all the way down to
level 26 if you really wanted to as long
as you've got the resources to do so
then you can down craft it as well so it
doesn't matter whether you're upgrading
the weapon further than it should be or
further than the resources you've got it
just means that you have the ability to
craft it at that level
now once you level it to a full 130
weapon you will then get the opportunity
to be able to promote it even further
and you'll be able to take that up to a
one four four now i'm not gonna do that
with this weapon because it's not a
weapon i want to promote and make even
more powerful so i'm not going to do
that but you will need weapon
superchargers in order to take them past
130.
now weapon superchargers are available
from two places you can either complete
the seasonal venture zones which do give
weapon superchargers as rewards as you
go through
or if you are in the end game then
you'll be able to
open up 160 missions which do sometimes
give you weapon superchargers in there
as well but chances are if you're that
far ahead
you're not going to be watching this
video this is for the basic beginner of
save the world
now in the case of your traps
then the same as with launchers they
will only go in a certain way there
there are no obsidian or shadow shard it
is just literally upgrading that trap
all the way up and the same process will
apply so there we go that is how to
upgrade your weapons and schematics in
fortnite save the world i hope you do
