How to get it
The Pulse Lance only drops in missions, from gun cases (amber) dropped by enemies, bosses and mission wins. It can drop once you’re level 4 or higher (gear more than 2 levels above you never drops), and you can equip it from level 6: until then it waits in your Inventory, locked. It belongs to the character who found it.
Military is the grade rolled on 15% of drops on tier-1 maps, 40% of drops on tier-2 maps, 45% of drops on tier-3 maps, 35% of drops on tier-4 maps, and 15% of tier-4 boss drops. See loot and drops.
A gun you already own is scrapped for gold when it drops again.
Upgrades
Spend gold in the Inventory to upgrade each part up to its grade’s cap. Taking every part to the cap costs about 39,000 gold. An Augment Core plus gold then pushes a capped part 2 levels further at 1.5× strength.
