How to open the Upgrade Menu in DMZ
To access the Upgrade Menu in DMZ, load into the Lobby, and before you start the game and deploy, select Mission Objectives. Inside the Mission Objectives, you will find the Upgrade Menu.
The Upgrade Menu is divided into five tabs: Stash, Weapons Locker, Bounty Board, Equipment, and Communications Station. Each tab offers a selection of related upgrades. The majority of the upgrades in the Upgrade Menu feature multiple stages of enhancements.
How to use the Upgrade Menu
You can use the Upgrade Menu to make life easier in DMZ. Upgrades range from wallet and stash expansions to barter recipes and buy station discounts, and even access to daily urgent missions.
To start taking advantage of the offerings in the Upgrade Menu, you must meet certain prerequisites and complete various tasks. Each upgrade is tied to fixed tasks, and some upgrades and upgrade tiers require that you first increase your Reputation Level with the different factions in DMZ before you can view and complete the associated objectives.
If there's a particular upgrade you want to unlock, like a Second Insured Slot, simply browse the Upgrade Menu until you find it, then acquire the appropriate Reputation Level and carry out the listed tasks.
