How to unlock the DIY freak achievement in The Technomancer - Definitive Guide

Fast way to do this:

Edit: Comments say that it seems to be possible to just install the same upgrade repeatedly without having to alternate between 2 different ones.

So it boils down to just spamming A until the achievement unlocks.
_____________________________________________________________________

Original solution pre-comments:

Just alternate between 2 Level 1 upgrades for any weapon of your choice. Can even be applied to the same slot. If you don't want to waste materials for this, save before you start and reload your game afterwards.

Example: Dagger, handle slot.
1. Add the first upgrade.
2. Select the same slot again
3. Change to another lvl1 upgrade that's listed directly above or beneath the current one
4. Rinse and repeat.

When done quickly, this boils down to:
A, Up/Down, A, A, A; repeated until the achievement unlocks.

Marshall Matt is correct about spamming A, i just wanted to note quickly
a: save beforehand, so you don't waste materials
b: choose an upgrade that doesn't cost much. You may not have a 100% chance of getting the material back, so don't rely on it. I chose to upgrade the shaft of the staff I had, as I had nearly 400 poor-quality leather, and each upgrade only takes 2.
When you're done, just reload your save and you're good to go!

You don't even have to do that, just got it by highlighting the cheapest upgrade and spamming A

You can also recycle the upgrade and then immediately reconstruct it.

I wrote this solution way back and can't really remember in that much detail, but i think that when i did it, i couldn't repeatedly select the same upgrade.
It's fine either way, I'll add your input. Thanks.

You can upgrade clothing and weapons at the various crafting benches found in the game. Make sure you loot everything you find (containers AND enemies), and upgrade both your and your allies' equipment to the best it can be. Then scrap it to get some of the materials back. If by the end of Chapter 3 this hasn't unlocked naturally, buy cheap weapons and craft the cheapest upgrades for everything you can until it unlocks. Save prior and revert if you'd like to save your materials.

All you need for the trophy is a couple of minutes and 5 thousand Serum (+ - thousand depending on the level of Crafting and Charisma). We select any item from the inventory that can be improved. We need first level upgrades. We look at the required resources and go to the merchant to buy (I received a trophy in the second chapter and bought it in the city of Noctis). As soon as there are a lot of resources in our pockets, we run to the machine and start spamming on the previously selected upgrade. And voila in one or two minutes the treasured .
