Solo Hunters Roblox: How to Upgrade Weapons and Armor Fast

What to know

• Power Cells are the direct upgrade material used to level weapons (and are also used in gear upgrading flows in general).
• Fusing works across item categories: rings/accessories, weapons, and armor can all be fused when three identical types are available.
• Rarity impacts how far an item can be upgraded (rarer weapons typically have more upgrade levels available).
• Early efficiency comes from leveling a good main weapon first, then fusing duplicates, rather than spreading resources across many items.

Solo Hunters gear growth in Roblox is mostly a loop: obtain gear from portals/dungeons, level the best pieces, and fuse duplicates into better versions. This keeps damage (DPS) rising so higher-power portals become doable sooner.

Gear upgrade workflow at a glance

Goal	Best lever	What to look for	Notes that matter in real runs
Raise DPS quickly	Weapon level upgrades	Any weapon with decent base damage	Even a low-base weapon can jump in damage after leveling, so upgrades are the fastest early DPS spike
Improve a weapon tier without rerolling	Fusion/infusion	Three identical weapons	Fused weapons increase base DPS and scale better after more leveling
Increase survivability	Armor upgrades + fusing	Armor with higher power value, plus duplicates	Better armor increases power and helps unlock stronger portals
Boost overall power rating	Better gear + fused items	Higher-tier armor/accessories	Power is strongly influenced by what’s equipped and how upgraded it is

Where upgrades happen in the menus (and what each button usually means)

In the inventory/gear area, weapons and armor generally show:

• A “Level” or upgrade option where Power Cells are consumed to add EXP/levels.
• A “Fuse/Infuse” option that becomes relevant once three identical items of the same type exist.
• A visible difference between the base item and the fused “shiny” outcome, which usually carries higher power/DPS and becomes a better long-term target for Power Cells.

How to decide what to upgrade first (so Power Cells don’t get wasted)

The most consistent order for progression-focused upgrading is:

1. Pick one main weapon and keep it ahead of everything else (damage drives faster clears and faster farming).
2. Upgrade armor only enough to survive comfortably and meet portal requirements.
3. Fuse duplicates as soon as three identical pieces exist, because the fused version becomes a stronger platform for future levels.
4. Avoid heavy investment into temporary gear if the next portal bracket is likely to replace it soon.

How to Upgrade Weapons and Armor in Solo Hunters (step by step)

Step 1

Open the inventory, select the current weapon, and locate the upgrade/level option.

Step 2

Spend Power Cells to raise the weapon’s level first, since damage can increase sharply with levels.

Step 3

Keep upgrading toward the weapon’s cap for its rarity tier, because rarer weapons typically allow more total upgrade levels.

Step 4

Check for three identical weapons of the same type and use Infuse/Fuse to combine them into a stronger version.

Step 5

After fusing, continue leveling the fused weapon to scale DPS even higher.

Step 6

Apply the same fusion rule to armor (and accessories): three identical items can be fused into a better “shiny” piece.

Step 7

Re-equip the upgraded/fused pieces immediately to raise overall power, unlocking higher portal requirements faster.

Common upgrade mistakes and how to avoid them

Mistake	Why it slows progress	Better move
Leveling multiple weapons evenly	Power Cells get diluted and DPS stays mediocre	Keep one main weapon heavily upgraded, switch only when a clear upgrade drops
Ignoring duplicates	Misses free power spikes from fusion	Fuse as soon as three identical items exist
Hoarding Power Cells too long	Clears stay slow, farming slows down	Spend them to reach the next portal bracket faster
Overcommitting to weak armor	Replaced quickly when portal brackets change	Upgrade armor modestly, then pivot to better drops

Rewards and upgrade resources in Solo Hunters (Weapons and armor upgrades)

Resource / reward	What it does	Where it fits in the upgrade loop
Power Cells	Used to upgrade/level weapons (and used in gear upgrading flows)	The primary way to increase a weapon’s damage via levels
Duplicate gear drops (same item type)	Enables fusion/infusion into a stronger version	Converts repeated drops into meaningful power gains
Higher-tier portal drops	Provides better baseline weapons/armor/accessories	Raises power ceiling and makes future upgrades more efficient
