The Upgrade Shop
On every Mann vs. Machine Map there is a spawn point that features an Upgrade Shop, which provides buyable upgrades for your classes. Therefor, simply walk into the marked area in fron of the shop. Upgrades are purchasable only before and after a successfully absolved wave. These upgrades enhance your weapons with every developed stage, similar to a Role Playing Game. The following image explains the upgrade window for the Demoman:
1. Tab
This shows you the weapons, for which you may purchase upgrades.
2. Upgrades
Here you see all available enhancements for the chosen weapon. If you want to use or upgrade a certain enhancement, simply click on the plus sign of the upgrade.
3. Upgrade description
This window explains the chosen upgrade. The number counts for each stage. That means an upgrade for all three stages results in a 150% bonus ammunition for the weapon.
4. Latest weapon status
This box shows you the already active effects for your weapon. This box changes with further upgrades, respectively upgrade stages.
5. Credits
Here you see your credits, that is your ingame-money that is available for you. You need that to buy upgrades. Make sure you have enough credits to boost your weapon.
