How to improve weapon affinity in Steelrising
You can improve a weapon’s affinity byincreasing the weapon’s level. To do this, head to a Vestal and select the Upgrades menu. Tab across to Weapons and choose the weapon you wish to upgrade. If the symbol next to the affinity is an up arrow, it will increase its scaling when leveled.
Not all weapons affinities will increase by level. Be sure only to level up weapons that match your primary attribute. Your primary attribute should be either Power, Agility, or Elemental Alchemy. We recommend initially only investing in one of these attributes and picking a corresponding weapon.
