True, it was hard to get weapons back then. I'm wondering though is if for future events it's gonna be this easy to get weapons medals or if this is just a one time thing for this specific event.

For me right now though, it seems that the cost-benefit ratio of upgrading weapons is not that good. I tried upgrading a few weapons using R2 weapons as fodder and it's quite hard to level them up especially when it reaches around lvl 9 mark. Tried upgrading Firestar's weapon from lvl. 9 to lvl. 10 (if i remember correctly) using R2 weapons and it cost me around 120 cards and almost 100 k credits to do that. The benefit was just a 2% increase to the attack bonus stat and a 1% bonus to the defense bonus stat. Kind of a steep price to pay for such little added benefit. If you spend that much resources on upgrading a character card you get way better results. Also, not even sure if there's any added bonus if you actually manage to max out the weapon card. Right now I think there's none. I might be wrong though.
