Lego Horizon Adventures upgrades allow you to give Aloy and her companions a boost, so knowing which ones you should be focusing on first is incredibly helpful. The upgrades on offer can earn you extra XP, help you find more gadgets and rare weapons, and enable you to deal additional damage in combat. Firstly, to unlock upgrades, you need to reach the Tallneck at the end of the second story quest, and then to access them going forward, you visit the All-Mother Tree in your village.
You’ll purchase upgrades using the studs you collect as you play, so make sure you’re opening chests and destroying barrels whenever you get the chance. You can also unlock upgrades by learning how to get Lego Horizon Adventures Gold Bricks. So, which ones should you buy first? Here’s everything you need to know about the best upgrades in Lego Horizon Adventures and what they bring to your brick-building journey.
Which Lego Horizon Adventures upgrades should you buy first?
If you're trying to decide on the best Lego Horizon Adventures upgrades to buy first, then you should prioritize investing in those that increase how much XP you earn for completing certain actions, as these will help you level up faster and unlock additional perks for your characters. Initially this will be Weak Sauce, which awards 50% extra XP when removing weakpoints from machines once fully upgraded, followed with Environmental Warrior when unlocked by collecting Lego Horizon Adventures Gold Bricks to provide 75% additional XP for using the environment to defeat enemies when maxed out.
The next XP boost, Gadgeteer, isn't available until you collect a total of 20 Gold Bricks, so in the meantime you should invest in other upgrades such as Power User, Gadget Surprise, and Rare Surprise to increase your abilities in combat.
