Weapon Customization (Parts and Codes)

Weapons in Nine to Five come in many shapes and sizes. You get a set of weapons in the Starter Pack (Weapons & Armor) when you start your career, and you can then unlock additional weapons by completing tasks or buying them from the shop with your soft or hard currency.  

Some weapons come in a Vanilla form, while some come with pre-set attachments. Weapons bought with Platinum will also contain unique skins as well. 

Each weapon has sets of statistics, which are grouped into 5 main parameters: 

It is possible to obtain multiple weapons of the same type. E.g. having 2 ML-CR’s will allow you to create 2 weapon setups for different occasions. All your weapons are available for easy selection in the Loadout menu. If you’d like to customize certain weapon: 

• Select Arms Depot menu 
• Choose the weapon model 
• Use ‘View Catalog’ to open all the available weapons or use < > arrows to swap them one by one. 

You can alter every base stat in two ways: 

• Attaching Weapon Parts (Used to customize the weapon to your specific needs, sometimes decreases certain stats in favor of others). 
• Appling Hacking Codes (Will increase specific weapon stats, while especially at higher levels decreasing some others. Used  to make your weapon more powerful)

Weapon parts 

Weapon parts are highly desirable rewards as they serve two purposes in Nine to Five: except for changing the visual aspects of a weapon, they tweak the weapon parameters. E.g. changing grip will alter aim stability and equip speed, new magazine extends ammo capacity, though it may cost a reload speed. 

You can acquire weapon parts as a reward from levelling progression and completing certain missions. Also, you can purchase bundles in the shop, which include weapons with weapon parts already attached. Keep in mind though, you are able to receive all parts by playing the game and completing tasks, there are no unique parts  behind a paywall. 

You can manage your weapons from the Arms Depot menu. Simply select the weapon you own and you will see all the potential weapon parts you can attach/change. 

Important to know: 

• Each weapon part is assigned to certain weapon model (e.g. ML-CR or ML-PDW9). 
• Each part can be attached, unmounted or sold
• You can use the owned part only in one copy of a gun at a time (however you can quickly select it to a different gun, if you wish) 

• You can see the parts either through selecting or viewing the catalog (switch tab Variations -> Parts). 
• Every time you attach a weapon part it costs a small amount of Credits. Unmounting is for free. 

Weapon part sets  

In the Early Access we are introducing a new mechanic, which should spice a hunt for weapon parts up! Right now every part has a chance to belong to a certain random set (except default parts). Collecting and mounting parts from the same set on a weapon will activate its bonus(-es). There are two levels of them:  

1. 3+ parts from the same set are installed  
2. All slots on a gun are filled with the same set of parts  

The bonuses received also come in two types: 

1. Bonus alters gun parameters(examples: max range, hip stability, mag size etc.)  
   Bonuses here are percentages which means the better the base value of the parameter the bigger the bonus. This type of bonuses is mostly for level 1 set (when only 3+ parts installed)  
2. Bonus alters gun abilities (examples: reserve size, gun can be used as a secondary etc.)  
   Bonuses here can be anything. This type of bonus is for level 2 sets (when all gun slots are filled with the parts from the same set).  

You can easily spot if the weapon part belongs to a set: 

There are 4 sets available at the start of Early Access. Please note that the chance for receiving specific sets from tasks is tied to your level in the game: 

Sell Weapons and Weapon Parts 

You can easily sell unnecessary weapons or parts. You can do it from the Arm Depot menu:  

• Weapon selling: 
  • Choose the weapon model you’d like to sell 
  • Open the Catalog of weapons 
  • Press on the weapon you want to sell

• Selling Weapon Parts 
  • Choose the weapon model you’d like to sell 
  • Open the Catalog and select Parts tab 
    • You can also select slot part 
  • Press  on the part you want to sell

Note: If you sell a weapon it will automatically sell all the parts attached to it. Selling parts or codes gives you components, while selling weapons gives you both components and credits.  

You are unable to sell cosmetic parts, as once unlocked, they will remain on your account nor default weapons received from Starter Pack.

Hacking Codes 

Hacking codes are another way to improve your weapons. You can receive them through completing various Tasks. They come in different qualities: FAIR, GOOD, EXCEPTIONAL and BRILLIANT, which unlocks with new Job Titles achieved. You can see details here: Progression & Tasks

Important about Codes:

• Each code is assigned to particular weapon model 
• You can use the code only once – it will permanently boost certain stat(s) (it can also nerf some stats, depending on how good the code is). 
• You can sell codes if needed, you’ll receive Components for it 
• Weapon codes do not stack, meaning that applying another Handling weapon code will overwrite previous code stats.
• If you have already code applied (e.g. Handling) you can overwrite it only with the same or higher quality code.
