Weapon Upgrades in Mass Effect 2 are modular technological improvements integrated into any Weapon. When a Weapon Upgrade is obtained, it's automatically integrated into the appropriate Weapon. Obtain Weapon Upgrades in stores and by scanning items on Missions.
When you purchase a research project, you must pay the specified amount of rare resources. You then gain the upgrade described in the research project, and the upgrade moves to the "Upgrade" section of the research Terminal
