Upgrade

Monster Hunter World has simplified the Upgrade System that the franchise had in the previous iterations. However, it is still very extensive and difficult for a new player to figure out. Augments can be installed in the Augmentation tab in the GUI of a machine or dynamo. The amount of augments that can be installed depends on the block’s tier. A basic machine or dynamo cannot be augmented. Some augments can be installed multiple times, stacking their effects.

Guide

Fully upgraded weapons and armors can be augmented to further enhance their power. Augmentations require rare monster materials and Streamstones. Streamstones can be obtained by completing Tempered Investigation.
