The Callisto Protocol: Best Upgrades to Get First

What are the best upgrades to get first in The Callisto Protocol? Enhancing your weapons and equipment with new toys and firepower is important to making progression in The Callisto Protocol, so it's good to have an idea of what upgrades you should try and get first. In this The Callisto Protocol guide, we're going to reveal the best upgrades to get first.

The Callisto Protocol: Best Upgrades to Get First

In order to start upgrading your gadgets and guns, you will first need Callisto Credits. These are found throughout the game, on the floor, inside cupboards, and on shelves. Pick them up as and when you can. Another source of Callisto Credits is enemies. When you kill one, always make sure to stomp on them afterwards. They always produce an item and there's a chance it'll be Callisto Credits.

If you are wanting bigger hauls at once, keep an eye out for chests on the ground. They are generally located just off the main path, tucked away in side rooms or at the end of optional areas. When opened, they reward larger sums of Callisto Credits.

To actually start spending your Callisto Credits on upgrades, you'll need to find a Reforge station. These machines will be fairly obvious when you spot one, lit up and enticing you into parting ways with your currency. Take your Callisto Credits to any one of the Reforge stations you find and begin buying the upgrades we recommend.

Listed below are the best upgrades to get first for every gadget and weapon in the game. While their ability trees will expand beyond our recommendations, these are the upgrades you should buy before the rest.

Stun Baton

You'll find the Stun Baton as part of the main story early on. The upgrades we recommend are:

Blocking Counter Attack

When you successfully block an enemy, you can follow up with your own attack that'll sweep them off their feet and make it much easier to land more hits.

Riot Control Swing

You can now use a much heavier attack with the R1 button, allowing you to deal lots of damage all at once. It has a long wind-up time, but if you use it correctly, it'll knock enemies down much more quickly.

Damage Upgrade Level 1

Both your standard swings and heavy attack will deal even more damage, meaning enemies will die quicker.

BI-55 Pistol

The Hand Cannon is tied to main story progression, given to you early on. The upgrades we recommend are:

Stability Upgrade
