Weapon Upgrade Stations: Locations, Discussion and Help Thread

[K00PA TR00PA]

First of all.

DO NOT KILL SANDER COHEN.
I know theres an achievement for taking a picture of his dead body so you might be eager to kill him the first chance you get at Fort Forlic. But you need him ALIVE later in the game to gain access to his apartment which has a weapon upgrade station inside of it. If you kill him before that, youre going to have to start a new game! Be patient, if you wait to kill him later not only will you move closer to getting the weapon specialist achievement but also unlock another secret achievement when you enter this room.

If you want the "Irony" achievement right away without killing your chance of obtaining the "Weapon Specialist" and "Found Cohens room" achievements, heres a suggestion by DaKing240.

Neptunes bounty - After defeating Peach Wilkins and after getting back all your weapons, youll head down the stairs and walk right into it.

Arcadia - If you head towards farmers market, you will enter a place called "Tree Farm" (This will pop up at the bottom of your screen) you'll go up a small set of stairs, right below the huge green "Farmers market" sign above these stairs and directly left of the sign is the weapon upgrade station. You'll also know youre at the right Farmers Market sign if on the opposite side is a "Tree Farm" sign.

Farmers market - Go to Worley Winery, head down the first set of stairs, turn left and on your second right youll see another set of stairs, go down those and head straight into the water and you'll see the weapon station to your right.

Fort Forlic - On the first floor head to the southern mall (Southern Mall will pop up at the bottom of your screen when youre in the right place) Theres a vending machine outside of this open area. Follow this path to "Le Marquios D'epoque" store. Once inside turn right and head downstairs, make your first left at the bottom of the stairs. Youll see the weapon upgrade station inside this hallway.

Fort Forlic - Head to posidon plaza, after you pass thru the frozen area, turn right and head staight to "sinclair spirits". In order to open the door inside sinclair spirits, hit the switch behind the bar. The switch should be right next to the cash register. Once you hit the switch, head to the door behind the water thats falling from the roof. If you still cant find it, its to the right of the jukebox. Once inside, head downstairs and turn left for the weapon upgrade station.

Hephaestus - This one is infront of the gatherers garden machine which is to the right of "Heat loss monitoring".

Olympus heights - Sander Cohens apartment is to the left of the above weapon upgrade station (If you are facing it) You should hear Sander Cohen on your radio once you enter his apartment, if not, you did something wrong and have to restart your entire game. He'll tell you not to disturb the two dancing houdini splicers. Kill the spilcers and you'll be able to enter his room. His room is the first door to your right when you enter the apartment. As soon as the door opens, you go up some stairs, at the top of the stairs and to the left is a weapon upgrade station.

Thank you for this. The game just seems so open and there are so many things that im afraid i might miss a ton of stuff. Im trying to knock out as many achievements as i can in one play through and this will help limit the shit i can miss so thank you

[Adam Miller]

Cheers not long started and was wondering how to upgrade and no doubt i would have killed him. Now all i need to know is hot to take pictures and research and invetn but i haven't long started and this game is already sik.

Thanks.

And thats why hes THE KING...

Now how do you get that camera

[flip]

OR....... you can just kill him once he comes down from his apartment and take the picture then, and then get both the achievements at the same time without having to make an extra save


and, thank you thank you thank you for this list man, one less thing to do then

[abartshe]

hey i just have to say good thinking on the saving and killing him and then reloading. that is pure genius. and as well thanks for the list of weapon upgrades.

[PerfectAnt]

You get the camera during the normal course of the game. Before you even get to cohen

just let him live, do the part where you kill the two dancing people and he runs downstairs to yell at you, kill him, take his pic and go to his room. 2 achievements, one shot.

[Fritz White]

I avoided these threads like the plague cause I didn't want any spoilers, and I've learned everything by playing so far which is what I wanted, but DAMN! I thought Sander was annoying as fuck and I killed him the first chance I had. I love this game, but it's SO long and I'll eventually have to start from that part again. On hard. I don't want to spoil for anyone else, but I'm pretty sure I've gotten really far from that part. I'm at the part where I just changed my outfit... Holy shit, if I just haden't killed him...

[The Pants Party]

Thanks for the guide. Stickaroo!

[MadcatNL]

Thanks for the guide Koopa, just what I needed. I'm one my second playthrough and did not get the last weapons upgrade achievement the first time. I'm 100% sure I missed the Cohen station (killed the bloody bastard right after completing the first level with him in it) and I probably missed the first one as well.

Again, thanks a million, this will help a great deal!

[CS_Prophet]

ty for this :P you just got me 30 G score XD

[poulpy72]

Thanks for the guide Koopa....very much appreciated!!!

[Adam Miller]

I had a little trouble with that one too, if i remember rightly its downstairs just wonder around the outside circle and you will get the southern mall pop up on your screen. Its right next to the toilets if i remember it rightly.

Hope that helps.

[Nightmare792]

[Rewmac]

This was really helpful thanks...

[Sil3nt360]

Thanks for the guide Koopa.

[USMC Trojan]

thanks lots of help

[Goodboy33]

Ice Nine Killz already asked but to no response. Therefore does anyone know if you can get back to Olympus Heights after you've gone through it, because I forgot the Upgrade Station in Cohen's room. Thanks

Yes, you can go back. Just make sure you save before the last boss fight otherwise you cant! (Dont go up that final elevator!)

[brianb1989]

[K00PA TR00PA]

The list is in order of the story. So if you were to playthrough the game, you would go straight down the list.

[Tiberian]

Thanks a lot this really helped. Completed the game yesterday and realised i had missed 2 weapon upgrade stations. So this will be a lot of help. Luckily i didn't kill sander, so i got his weapon upgrade station.

[brianb1989]

ok thx thats wat i was wondering
