Chances are you've played a battle royale before (or even an extraction shooter) and know that higher rarity weapons are better—you'd pick a yellow over a grey any day. Naturally, you'd assume your goal in the Battlefield 6 battle royale, Redsec, is to swap your guns almost constantly to climb up the gear tiers as you go. But it's not quite so simple.
Say hello to weapon kits. These nifty items look incredibly unassuming; they're just a thin satchel with a specific weapon badge slapped on the front. It's easy to ignore them or forget you ever picked one up, but they're among the most important loot you can find. Why? You can use a weapon kit to upgrade guns to higher rarities, boosting specific stats and applying various attachments.
