All Upgrades Available in Evil West

Get to giving that crossbow of yours a new coat of paint

As you journey through the Evil West, player character Jesse Rentier will become stronger at each and every turn. The growth will be apparent since with each level up, a skill point is rewarded for players to put towards his very own skill tree. While these mostly fall under Perks, the Upgrades in relevance to his many weapons he will eventually get kitted out in the further you get into the game can also be exponentially improved upon.
