“ | When a robot kills a human, we erupt into a pleading mist of blood, meat particles and tears, which you can't really trade for anything. But when a robot dies, he explodes in a shower of money, which, during between-wave lulls, you can exchange at any Upgrade Station for weapon, item and ability upgrades.

An Upgrade Station is a place for players to buy weapon upgrades, abilities, and Power Up Canteen buffs in Mann vs. Machine. Players may access one of the two kiosks in the base at any time to purchase upgrades with collected credits. The cost of each upgrade does not increase with a repeated purchase. Upgrades and used credits are lost during class changes between waves. Players may reselect their class in order to regain upgrades. This icon () will appear next to a class in the Class Selection Menu if that class already has upgrades applied to it. Upgrades can carry over class changes, if they apply to a different class. Changing weapons will lose all upgrades associated with that weapon, but will be regained once the player switches back to it.
Since there are no Resupply Cabinets in the base, purchasing an upgrade from an Upgrade Station will restore health and ammo without needing to switch classes.

User Interface
Upgrade Stations are accessed by walking up to them. By default, the primary weapon slot is selected. The UI automatically shades upgrades in a slot if the player cannot afford them. Players may cancel at any time or simply walk away from the kiosk before accepting an upgrade to regain the credits used during the session.
