Enhance Your Arsenal With All the Prey Weapon Upgrade Kit Locations

This article is over 7 years old and may contain outdated information

Weapons like the Shotgun, Silenced Pistol and GOO Gun are all great on their own in Prey [2017], but they can become even better if you can get your hands on a weapon upgrade kit.

Weapon Upgrade Kits are rare items that allow you to beef-up your weapon of choice. You can increase capacity, accuracy, damage and more with weapon upgrade kits, and the more you find, the stronger your favorite weapons can become. The trick is finding the dang things.

Weapon Kits tend to be well-hidden, either in secret stashes or in Smuggler’s Dead Drops. Getting them all isn’t so easy, but we’ll try and make the process as painless as possible. Here’s where to get all the weapon upgrade kits we’ve found so far.
