Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Signature Series Strategy Guide SPECIALIZED TRAINING
Exo Upgrade System
Earn Upgrade Points during a mission by completing four challenges: Kills, Headshot Kills, Grenade Kills, and finding Intel. You then spend these points between missions to improve your Exo Suit.
These challenges award you one point each time you complete one, and they are cumulative. Once you complete one, the next tier of the challenge will begin tracking toward your next Upgrade Point. Note that Grenade and Headshot Kills also count toward the Kill count, so it is good to go for the head any chance you get and use grenades whenever available.
Once you complete a level, an After Action Report displays your progress on the four challenges. Press the Use button to access the upgrades. Upgrades each have two levels. The first level costs one point and two points for the second upgrade. There are 11 upgrades total, so 33 points are required to fully upgrade Mitchell. You can also replay levels to score more Upgrade Points. Some upgrades require another to be purchased first.
The upgrades are listed here, along with their requirements. If no requirement is listed, it is available from the start.
