How to unlock the Ultimate weapon achievement in ZHEROS - Definitive Guide
For upgrading your character in this game you have only one way : get points during stages.
Here is a list with points you need to reach in each stages to have all upgrades, be carefull with stars, one star = 500 pts.
-> Destroying crates always gives 100 pts (per crates). Ennemies don't give the same amount of points, you need to do "combo" against them to obtain more points.
1-1) 2600 - 4000
1-2) 4000 - 6000
1-3) 5500 - 7500
1-4) 4000 - 8000
1-5) 5000 - 9000
1-6) 2000 - 3500
1-7) 5500 - 8500
1-8) 2500 - 4500
1-9) 3500 - 6000
1-10) 4000 - 7000
2-1) 3500 - 7000
2-2) 4000 - 6500
2-3) 4000 - 8000
2-4) 3000 - 6000
2-5) 4000 - 7500
2-6) 3000 - 5000
2-7) 3000 - 4500
2-8) 2500 - 4000
Sorry for mistakes, english is not my native langage :/
EDIT april 2017 : Still glitched after a patch :
"Addition of dlc cheevos has broken this again. Have the 2 RP squares and secret star on every level, and ended up 3 upgrades short."
Posted by ThorsBaldEagle.
"Same here. Got each RP in every level but don't have enough to buy all upgrades."

Sorry guys.... Wait&See
When you start a new level, it will ask you if you want to purchase upgrades to your strength, shield or gun by using RPs. You get RPs by finishing off stages with a certain number of tokens (each stage has 2 available). Tokens come from killing enemies (blue diamonds), destroying orange crates (yellow diamonds) and collecting the hidden stars in each level. As long as you focus on destroying all the orange crates, killing all the enemies and picking up their droppings and collecting the hidden star, you should easily have enough tokens at the end of each stage in order to claim both RPs in it. If you don't, then just restart the level and try again until you do. You must get both RPs from all 18 levels in order to have enough to purchase all the upgrades. Here is the list of upgrades levels and how much they cost to purchase.
Strength (Additional Combos):
Level 1 - 1 RP
Level 2 - 2 RP
Level 3 - 3 RP
Level 4 - 4 RP
Level 5 - 6 RP
Shield (More Power):
Level 1 - 1 RP
Level 2 - 3 RP
Level 3 - 5 RP
Gun (More Damage):
Level 1 - 2 RP
Level 2 - 3 RP
Level 3 - 6 RP
I would suggest focusing mainly on the gun & strength ones as they are more helpful in the later levels than the shield upgrades. Once you purchase the final upgrade, the trophy will pop.
In order to buy all upgrades you need to get a high enough score in each level to get both available RP at the end. The score threshold is lower on Easy than on higher difficulties. You can get a higher score by defeating enemies with a high combo and collecting the crystals that they drop. You can also destroy orange crates to collect gold crystals and collect the star in each level for a bonus. If you do not get a high enough score to get both RP, do not worry. Simply click restart to go through the whole level again and you will start with a portion of your score. Repeat this as many times as it takes to earn both RP, but I only ever had to replay a level once. However, if you continue on to the level select screen you will lose the ability to retain a portion of your score. This achievement is not difficult, but it can be a bit repetitive playing levels over again.
Each level has 2 possible RP you can earn, for a total of 52 RP total in the entire game. However, the 2 RP in level 3-8 are unobtainable, so there are only 50 RP obtainable in the game. All of the upgrades in the game combined cost 53 RP. You might notice that because 53 > 50, it is not possible to unlock all upgrades.
Melee: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 6 / 9
Shield: 1 / 3 / 5
Gun: 2 / 3 / 7 / 7
Total cost: 53 RP
You can collect RP in levels by reaching certain thresholds of crystal points. Crystal points can be collected from blue crystals, orange crystals, and the star. The light blue orbs will refill your shield / gun energy and don't count toward crystal points.
• Each orange crate give 100 crystals.
• The star gives 500 crystals, but once you have collected it and completed the level, you can never collect it again. This means it will be more difficult to achieve 2RP in levels where you have already collected the star.
• Enemies drop various amounts of crystals depending on how you kill them. I don't know the exact method, but I found that melee-ing tends to drop the most crystals. Kills with the gun and by reflecting bullets with the shield tend to drop less crystals.
