    Anyone successfully upgraded sludge-hammer?

    Just curious if anyone has successfully upgraded an apex sludge-hammer. I've spent roughly 3000 ark forge so far in a futile attempt at upgrading the weapon. I have tried varying percent rates, and when I adjust the percent chance rate above 20 percent or so, it doesn't do anything. It doesn't take the arkforge, it doesn't make an upgrade attempt, nothing. And so dozens of attempts at a 10 to 15 percent chance and nothing... I'm sure it's working as intended...but I would like to know if anyone has been able to successfully upgrade.... In case there's a bug... Which never a happens in this game

    Hi BarrySciFi. What may be causing the issue with being unable to roll above the 20% is that you may not be accounting for the original 100 AF cost in the amount required. If you roll 100%, the additional Arkforge cost is 3200 for the extra %, plus the 100 from the original cost. We are working on a fix for the fact that the game does not prevent you from attempting this, but it will not take your Arkforge. Just make sure that you are taking into account the additional 100 Arkforge.

    Also, the Sludge-Hammer is indeed upgrade-able to supreme, I can confirm! Hope this helps.

    Thanks for responding. Actually, I am accounting for the additional 100 ark forge. I had 100 dollars in arkforge to begin with. Plus I had about 900 ark forge saved up to begin with. So I had around 4400 arkforge when I started attempting the upgrade on the sludge-hammer. The glitch or whatever prevented me from trying to upgrade in high percentages at a time. I've successfully upgraded three weapons and two shields, as well, so I am familiar with the procedure.

    I'm calling shenanigans, supreme weapons are super rare that's why Trion isn't letting us upgrade all of our oj guns.

    No but seriously glad your luck turned around Barry!

    yeah, at the rate people are succeeding, and spending what has to be real dollars, i doubt they are going to let us upgrade our "epic ojs" as long as they maintain the "keeping them rare" fallacy. unless rashere decides he really wants that cheesecake...

    I'm going to be honest and say I never believed the "we may allow it in the future" thing, I truly wish they would make me eat my words and allow it.
