How to Get Upgrades in LEGO Horizon Adventures

You unlock upgrades as soon as you finish the second story quest, and you can then purchase upgrades through the village’s All-Mother Tree. Studs are required to purchase upgrades, so stay on the lookout for them and destroy all environmental pieces like barrels to get more Stud drops. You also need to collect Gold Bricks to unlock higher-tier upgrades, so these collectibles are invaluable.
