Upgrade any Weapon Form to Level 3

How to unlock the Non-Standard Issue achievement in Control - Definitive Guide

I thought this achievement was bugged for me, as it has been for others. I found out that the Weapon Form Level 3 Astral Constructs do not unlock until you get a specific material. It is the Untapped Potential asset. All level 3 weapon form blueprints require one Untapped Potential asset.

I got my first one by completing the Fridge Duty side quest. After defeating the Former boss, I got one Untapped Potential asset and all the level 3 constructs finally showed up.

I have not done any of the other side quest boss battles yet, but I am going to guess that this is where the rest of the Untapped Potential assets are gotten to upgrade your weapons to level 3.

I also got one Untapped Potential asset during the main story quest 9, Polaris.

I have also been shafted by this achievement, but in a different way. I upgraded two weapons to level 2 before doing fridge duty, mission 9 or any other side bosses. I have now beaten every mission in the game and not once have I been given untapped potential. I have absolutely no idea how or why this has occured. Hopefully they patch this at some point, because there is no way I'm playing through this garbage again.

^^ if you think it's garbage, why are you playing it? I think it's excellent, with a bugged achievement.

I managed to get the level 3 upgrade to appear but then when i got it the achievement didn't pop. Does anybody know anything about this?

Edit: For anyone who is going for this achievement, it did not pop for me when I upgraded my grip to level 3, but it did pop when I upgraded my shatter to level 3, so maybe it does not work for grip but I am unsure

@shadow XBL I paid £50 on release, so I feel obligated to play the game. Glad you're enjoying it. I think it's a bland, repetitive, convoluted game with horrific frame rate and freezing issues, with a bugged achievement. If you enjoy playing unfinished, glitchy games on release, then that's your business.

@BTbenTR It may just be a case of the achievement not popping straight away, as is fairly common on the Xbox One. Otherwise I'm not sure.

I believe they have sent out a patch as of today. Whether this will resolve the issue with this achievement, I'm not so sure.

I have since managed to unlock the achievement by playing through mission 9 again from the main menu. I was awarded untapped potential after the final cutscene.

I got it to pop after leveling up my grip to level 3. However it took several minutes before registering, unlike most of the achievements which popped for me immediately.

Not sure if it's officially fixed or I just happen to be lucky, but I completed Fridge Duty, was awarded Untapped Potential (after turning in the quest with Langston, note it does not drop from the boss itself), and have Level 3 mods available. I previously had some, but not all, guns upgraded to Level 2. Achievement popped as soon as I upgraded Grip to Level 3.

The below worked! I now have my Level 3 Upgrade and achievement!

During my original run, I completed all main missions, all side missions, all upgrades, and every other achievement. I never got the opportunity to complete any Level 3 weapon forms. Don't have it yet, but some light at the end of s**t creek during my 2nd run. At this point, the evidence seems to suggest that the bug originates from the timing you receive untapped potential (a side-boss related material reward). If you are on Level 1 after getting untapped potential, it would seem that you will get locked out of receiving the Level 3 upgrade as that is the material which triggers Level 3 schematics. If you do Level 2 first, earning Untapped Potential should earn the Level 3 schematics as OP suggests. Someone else experienced the same through doing The Enemy Within rather than Fridge Duty.

Current information suggests you must upgrade to Level 2 before doing a side mission rewarding Untapped Potential (Fridge Duty, The Enemy Within, Old Growth, Self-Reflection, Mr. Tommasi - not 100% ALL give Untapped Potential, but some definitely do). Don't do any of these side missions for now until you've got some Level 2 weapons. I'll hopefully confirm this tonight/tomorrow, as I have the Level 2 Shatter and I know what I need to trigger the Level 2 Grip schematic (I don't have Hidden Trend as I've been blitzing through and ignoring Bureau Alerts, for Hidden Trend, beat named enemies through Bureau Alerts). Thanks to bboysunny93, cirifionas, Mystica_Link, Valkirie22, xI KaZaR Ix (TrueAchievements) and baazfury (TrueAchievements) for the help

p.s. I can confirm that constructs and upgrades are tied to finding materials. They only unlock after you find the first of each required material.

Simply use the control point to upgrade a weapon to level 3, save up your resources.

All weapons require different items to fully upgrade to Level 3. Fortunately, you'll only need to fully upgrade just one weapon for this achievement. Example: to fully upgrade Shatter from Level 2 then to Level 3, you'll need a total of 50,000 Source, 40 Entropic Echo, and 30 Remote Thought. These items can be picked up or acquired through defeating enemies, finding them in crates or rewards through Board Countermeasures.

To improve weapons, you will need consumables that can be obtained from killed opponents and from boxes carefully scattered throughout the oldest house. Also pay attention to paintings with a broken wall; if you hit the wall behind the painting a couple of times or throw an object, it will break and there will be a couple of boxes behind it.

Some resources drop only from bosses in the extra. missions, accordingly, additional improvements appear only when these resources fall out. These bosses are: Former, Issage, Tomassi, Mold-1, Anchor

Access to leveling up to level 3 will appear after about half of the completed story. before this, the option disappears from the menu until its time comes I’m writing because I started to worry that it was buggy and I had to get nervous that I would have to replay it

Probably a glitched trophy.

Completed the story, all the side missions, got all the trophies except this one. but in “astral constructs” the options for upgrading weapons disappeared after I upgraded everything to the second level.

There are a couple of comments on powerpyx from people who also encountered this.
It looks like you need to either wait for a patch, or delete your saves and start a “new game”.
