    This guide is for upgrading the equipment. Get to Chapter 10. While it's loading, press and hold cn_back until the chapter is loaded, then wait for a few seconds. Now, hold cn_RB, then highlight an already-crafted upgrade (if you don't have one yet for that row, highlight the locked one to the right. Then, while holding cn_A like you normally would to craft ammunion, quickly select the one you want to craft, then keep holding cn_A and cn_RB until the entire row is upgraded.

    Here's a video showing it working:


    I take no credit in the making of this video.

    NOTE: When I did this on Xbox, I had made it to Chapter 14, then replayed Chapters 10-13 hoping to keep my upgrades. When I reached Chapter 15, my Chapter 10 upgrades were gone.

    However, when I did it on PC, I used the glitch to complete the upgrades right when I got to Chapter 10 (through Chapter select obviously), and I was able to keep them for the rest of the game, allowing me to save my precious crafting materials for my weapons.

    So try to go for these achievements before completing the chapter.

    CurtiesonI could not get this to work and then I finally figured it out. You are holding down the RB so it THINKS you are crafting AMMUNITION. I could not get it to work because I wasn't selecting an AMMUNITION that I needed, I was highlighted on something I already had. As soon as I changed the ammuntion selected, all the rest of the notes about selecting Upgrades fell right in line.

    Glitch still works on both XBOX and Windows as of 9/10/2022 (version: 1.10)

    Original text guide and no commentary video here:

    I'm only making this video WITH commentary since I personally had trouble reading and understanding the text tutorial and wanted to actually add commentary talking about how to do it. You can do this glitch very last or during your playthrough, it works every time. This glitch works on selecting Chapter 10 (Chapter X) because there's no cutscene at the beginning of the level.

    (Yes I know I'm 3 years late on this game but I loved the game so much even if I only played it recently)

    This achievement is for fully upgrading the Pocket, Ammunition Bag, and Attirail in one play through, you do NOT need to have the Sling or any of the Alchemy stuff upgraded to factor into this (though it is possible to get them both in a single play through). Avoid crafting any ammunition that requires leather or fabric. Prioritize upgrading your Pocket first (so you aren't leaving materials behind because your stacks are full).

    If you missed this on your first shot, a full second play through is not required. Many people recommend starting at chapter 9 and playing on, but in general just explore and scavenge as much as you can.

    One important note - starting a mission via chapter selection will start you with the inventory and upgrades you had when you FIRST completed the previous mission. For example, if on your first play through, you raced through Chapter 3 and started Chapter 4 with 1 piece of fabric, then did Chapter Select to re-play Chapter 3, this time ending with 12 fabric - it does not replace your original "state" - if at any point you chose Chapter Select on Chapter 3 again, you're starting with your original 1 fabric. This is the case for any Chapter you select - whatever you started that Chapter with originally is what you'll get.

    You can continue replaying the game without any issues, but if know that you didn't do much scavenging on your first run through, either plan on doing chapter selection from an EARLY mission once, and re-playing from that point forward (Chapter 3 is the earliest you start collecting crafting materials), or bite the bullet and start a new save slot.

    The Nerds ClubGreat Guide but the Game is not very big at all & looking for Crafting Resources is super easy (Items are not on Ground, or in Corners).
