Lobby loadout versus in-run upgrades

ItsChalls describes a free pistol, weapon equipping and upgrades in the lobby at 03:35–04:00. TheSmartSpy discusses a weapon/loadout menu before beginning play at 03:32–04:12.

During the run, TheSmartSpy later says the pistol was upgraded to a shotgun at 06:07. That supports a distinction between preparing a loadout and changing a gun in a match, without establishing a universal upgrade tree.

Read the offer before choosing an upgrade

First identify whether you are preparing in the lobby or spending during a match. Then compare the weapon you have with the upgrade currently offered and read its cost before choosing. This is a checking approach, not a claim about unverified menu locations or keyboard controls.

If you are saving toward a more expensive gun, use the current displayed balance to decide what you can afford. Do not substitute a gem balance or a tutorial reward for a cost shown elsewhere.

Costs and rankings remain unconfirmed

These sources do not align a full list of unlock requirements, prices, upgrade levels or currency labels. TheSmartSpy speculates about an RPG purchase, so this guide does not turn that speculation into a game-pass price or requirement.

There is no verified best-weapon ranking in this material. Choose based on the offer and situation you can see in your own run; comparative damage, ammunition rules and optimal spending order need further evidence.
