Always be investing
Metal Wolf Chaos XDis out this week in the west after spending 15 years in the “Japan only” phantom zone, and the powers that be decided that they shouldn’t mess with greatness: keeping the spirit of the 2004 release alive.
With that in mind there’s a lot of 2004 mechanics you’ll need to account for, so here’s some help.
Basically you have two currencies to account for with cold hard cash and upgrade materials. Both are earned via missions, and both are needed to both upgrade and purchase weaponry. To “unlock” a new tier you need to invest, so ensure you’re doing that very early on as cash is more plentiful than upgrade materials. Find a weapon you like, upgrade that tier, and then buy the next available item. It’s smart to start off with scale: don’t go overboard upgrading one category as the tiers get more expensive after each purchase. Spread the love around to two or three different types.
