Upgrade points
Your levels award separate points for weapons, secondary items and structures. You earn 18 points by level 19. Each category has its own balance for choices in Upgrades.
How it works

Selection
Section titled “Selection”Each selection spends 1 point from the item’s category and replaces its predecessor in the hotbar, or fills an empty slot for a starting choice. Selecting an upgrade costs no resources. On desktop, click an icon under Choose next upgrade; hover or focus it to read its details. On mobile, open Upgrades and press Choose beside the item. The number on the mobile Upgrades button counts available choices, not your point balance.
Saving
Section titled “Saving”You can leave points unspent while gaining levels. You still need the matching point and minimum level, and must choose earlier upgrades in the line first. Saving points does not let you skip upgrades or reopen a weapon or secondary line after choosing another line.
Structure points share a balance across 6 trees. You can spend them in different structure trees, but choices within a tree still follow its prerequisites and exclusions.
Respawn
Section titled “Respawn”After a respawn, your chosen upgrades and unspent points reset. The experience you keep rebuilds your level and grants points for every award level you reach again. You choose your upgrades again, including your weapon line and exclusive structure choices.
