Improtant update:
Unique items CAN be upgraded! See below.
Q: What items have tiers?
A: Weapons, Armor and Tools (Finders, Extractors, FAPs etc
Q: Do I see the progress to unlock a tier in the stats?
A: Yes. It's under Item points: 0.0 or 0.5 etc. You see a green message (as skill increases) when you increase your tier by 0.1 . Once you reach 1.0 on a (L) item, it unlocks that tier, unlimited weapons need some addtional action though, don't know what though.
Q: what does the tier factor mean?
A: the higher the better, but see below.
Q: is the tier unlock for all items of the same type?
A: no, you have to unlock a tier everytime again for each item. If you use a P5(L) and it breaks, you need to start on the next P5(L) again from scratch.
Q: So only high TT (L) items make sense?
A: It depends mainly on the increase rate for the first tiers: the higher it is, the faster it unlocks. So a increase rate of 2000 for tier one makes sense on a low TT pistol.
Q: What does this mean for prices of (L) items?
A: Not sure here yet. If the enhancers for tiers 1-3 are good and cheap, the result might be that (L) items have very different MU suddenly. But currently no effect, as people are more pissed than anything else
.
Q: What does this mean for prices of unlimted items?
A... need to rehtingk my answer here because of some major change/discovery. People upgrade their weapons, even expensive ones like ML-35. Details below.
Q: how quick do I unlock a tier?
A: I don't know any formula yet. 2 examples:
1) MarieWoodell: Vivo T5(L), 6.5 PEDs TT. Tier 1 unlock needs 4.5 PEDs TT. Tier factor: 150
2) Smoerble: Adapted Montgomery Anab.(L): 450/893 T. Tier 1 from 0.0 to 0.1 needed about 100 PEDs ammo. Tier factor 38
Q: I need to unlock every tier 1 again on a (L) item once it's broken?
A: yes. But you can buy items that have tiers unlocked.
Q: can I sell/buy items with unlocked tiers?
a: yes, the tiers are item based, so unlockes are traded with the item!
Q: How to upgrade a unlimited item?
Q: Does an unlocked tier affect the TT value of the object? the more tiers being unlocked the higher the tt value of it gets or?
A: no, they do not affect the TT value.
Q: Im almost certain i saw somewhere that a unlock is personal .. are you sure its not? .. so I can buy a tier X gun.. or just the unlocks it has gained. but i start on tier lvl 0.?
Unlocks are based on each item, not on an item type or avatars. You can sell items including their unlocks (or buy them), but you can't take a tier unlock from one item to another. The enhancer inside the tiers can be attached and detached as as amps etc.
Q: What is a unlock? Can i put like an amp on one of the unlocked slots.. so in lvl 0 .. I cant amp it, laser it or anything :S?
There will be enhancers to increase attacks/minute, reduce decay and maybe more things. Regular amps still work as before, so tiers are and additon to amps.
Q: will sats/ammo change with tiers or just these unlocks
Stats/ammo do not change, but the enhancers inside the tiers should change something, once you add them to the tier.
Q: Upgrading unlimited items: Do I need a second item to upgrade mine?
A: MAJOR update: It seems no. There is a possibility to upgrade even unique items. Links:

But beware, if you do it wrong: You might loose that second item! See next posting!
Q: I own an A103 for my gun. Is it worthless now?
A: No, it works exactly as before, tiers/enhancers work addtionoally on that.
Q: If I upgrade an unlimited item, are all components lost during the process?
A: All components are lost, if the process fails or the process is successful. You need a second item of the same type you want to upgrade. THIS ITEM MIGHT GET LOST IN THE UPGRADE ATTEMPT!. Details see next posting.
Q: When you open the first slot with tier 1 , you can use only lvl 1 enhancer , or what ever enhancer in that slot ?
A: You can only use level 1 enhancers. This means: if you have 5 tiers unlocked and want enhancers in all of them, you need 5 different enhancers.
Q: If you add a dmg enhancer in both slot 1 and in slot 2 of a weapon, giving +5% dmg and +10% dmg, do you have to multiply or sum the effects ?
A: I don't know. Anybody has an asnwer?
