The base stats if every weapon that you will get in Cyberpunk 2077 will not be as high as you would want. Hence, it is essential to upgrade the weapons as you progress in the game to improve their stats. Hence, in this crafting guide, we will help you with how to get upgrade components in Cyberpunk 2077 so that you can improve your weapons and armors.
CP2077 Crafting Guide: How to Get Upgrade Components
There are basically three methods to get upgrade components in Cyberpunk 2077. These three methods are:
- Loot and explore Night City
- Purchase from vendor shops or Junk shops
- Disassemble weapons and armors
Now, since we know all the three methods, let’s look at each of them in brief.
-
Loot and Explore Night City
You can kill enemies and loot them or explore the streets to grab some upgrade components. Generally, when you kill any guard or enemy in the game, they drop some items. Hence, kill as many enemies as possible and loot them to collect upgrade components.
You can also explore the streets to find upgrade components. They can be found simply lying randomly on streets or within lootable crates. Depending on the color icon on the crate, you can get different levels of upgrade items. For instance, white icon crates will give common items, green gives uncommon, blue gives rare, purple gives epic, and orange gives legendary upgrade components in Cyberpunk 2077.
-
Purchase From Vendor Shops or Junk Shops
If you are not lucky enough to get the required upgrade items by looting and exploring or you just want a specific component, the best place to look for is in the vendor or junk shops. You can get all levels of rare items from these shops at a reasonable price. Hence, you can focus on quickly getting money in the game and then using it to purchase upgrade items. If you are not aware, there’s also a glitch in the game that can get you unlimited money and crafting XP. Ensure reading more about it here.

Disassemble Weapons and Armors
If none of the above methods is suitable for you, this one certainly will be. If you have some weapons and armor that you are not using, simply disassemble them to get upgrade components in Cyberpunk 2077. Here’s a step-by-step process to disassemble your weapons and armor.
- Open the inventory
- Select the weapons section
- Scroll on and highlight the weapon or armor you want to disassemble
- Press and hold Y on Xbox or Triangle on PlayStation consoles to disassemble the selected item
This will disassemble the weapons and armor and get you the upgrade components. However, you can increase and improve the items you get by getting perks from the Technical Ability Attribute, which is one of the best starting attributes.
The components you get will solely depend on the rarity of the gear you are disassembling. For instance, if you are disassembling uncommon gear, you will only get uncommon or common items. On the other hand, if you are disassembling epic gear, you will get epic, rare, uncommon, and common upgrade components.
