How to unlock the Self-improvement achievement in Hitman: Absolution - Definitive Guide

In the Absolution main menu, click Unlocks > Safe House > Weapons.

Choose a weapon you would like to upgrade (I chose the Silverballer), and press A. You will then be able to buy upgrades for your weapon. You can either purchase an upgrade from the list on the right, or just buy an extra upgrade slot (for $30,000 if you chose the Silverballer). I did the latter.

To earn money, you can take part in Contracts (you will need the Contracts pass to play Contracts, unless you are in NA. For everyone else, the pass is free to download from the marketplace).

My god, everything is so expensive. I completed 3 or 4 missions from friends to get a million, and it bought me a single upgrade.

I got this before I even started the game. I had $75,000 and bought the upgrade slot for the silverballer for $30,000.

Unlike Sparkz1977, you should be smart and do this after you've earned the 1 Million from the contract section, that way you don't have to do any extra games to earn. :)

I had a feeling that you wouldn't earn any, but I was never certain. Thank you for clearing that up, I've removed it from the guide. :)

Just one additional note to this achievement. It is online only achievement, I tried to upgrade my weapon offline with the right amount of money, but the game told me to connect to Xbox Live first. So this achievement must be done online, as offline mode would not allow you to buy any upgrades.

Unobtainable, due to server closure.

See the Contracts: Trophy Boosting Thread (Read First Post) if you need help with getting the contract mode trophies.

Upgrades can be bought with money you have earned from contracts. The upgrade shop is a tad expensive and it's about a million dollars for a gun. what you want to do is go to your silverballers and equip any upgrade (Extra Clip I costs 90K). As soon as you buy it the trophy will unlock.

This game allows you to upgrade weapons by earning currency through contracts and completing missions. Use this money to buy an upgrade and unlock the achievement. Go into the "Unlocks" section, then to "Safehouse". Choose "Weapons". Move to Silverballer and you should see a money sign on the third icon in upgrade slots. Select upgrade with to buy it, and the achievement will unlock.
