Code Vein Weapons & Gear Upgrades

Obtain and Strengthen Weapons - Players can collect weapons in the dungeon areas. Strengthen weapons with special assets and Haze.

The screenshots depict the pickup of theBardicheweapon, and a “Strengthen” menu for a Halberd-type called “Bisecting Garnet” at what is likely a blacksmith shop. The upgrade costs 600Haze(Code Vein’s equivalent of Souls) and 1x “Queen Iron”, confirming an ore system.

The upgrade screen reveals a bit more about the weapons, demonstrating that they have both attack and defense attributes that are very similar to Dark Souls. Additionally, weight and damage types of “Cut / Thrust / Blunt” make the weapon setting familiar.

Some new additions specific of this game come in the form of Vampiric Ability enhancement and resistances.
